    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.

    I created a 28x40cm file in Illustrator and tested all the different export options (Save, Save As, Export), as well as all possible resolutions (72 and 300 dpi).

    No matter what I do, the file is always generated as 28.01 x 40.01cm. I’ve tested this multiple times, even with blank files, and the issue keeps happening.

    This isn’t a problem with the artboard positioning—it’s perfectly aligned to 0,0.

    This has been a recurring issue all year, and we’re wasting hours fixing visuals when exact dimensions are required.

    How is it possible that this bug has been around for more than 8 years and still hasn’t been fixed? Seriously, do I need to switch to Affinity just to get a basic feature like this to work properly? This is beyond frustrating!
