    This issue is probably happening because the artboard dimensions are not appropriate for raster export (i.e. are in decimals).
    If you make x and y values as the whole numbers in the transform panel (not in decimal), then the extra pixels will not be added to the exported image.

    That is the workaround, and it’s reported that it’s not always the case.

    At the same time — Ai knows the size of artboards to be exported and yet it does not deliver the set sizes, which is not fair. The team is going to rethink the algorithm.

    When exporting an artboard set to 512x512 pixels precisely, the resulting PNG file at 1x resolution comes out as 513x512 pixels. (This sounds not too bad, but causes ugly scaling artefacts on import to Wordpress.) I'm using Illustrator 27.5 on MacOS 12.6.5.
    EDIT: Silly me, I hadn't found the other comments here (thanks mods for redirecting) - and making the X and Y integer values worked. Obvious development request: could new artboards generated by Ai be given integer coordinates by default?
