    Default Re: Export JPEG issue - file too big?

    I think part of your problem is that you are exporting the "drawing" or "page" (see pic 1). You should select all the objects and then export the "selection" (see pic 2).

    However, there is a few pixels difference between your desired output size and the actual size of the graphic. This can be sorted by using sledger's suggestion, for instance.

    By the way, there is no need to make your page size the same size as your graphic. Just create your graphic on any page size, group it or select it all and export it as a selection.

    A more important question that has not been addressed is why are you saving the image as JPEG? And how is the image going to be used?

    Flat graphics like this are best saved as PNG or TIFF.

    In my experience, JPEG, unless you crank the compression down to nothing, do a very sloppy job on large areas of flat color.

    I exported your image as a JPEG and 256 color PNG. My file size for JPEG was 28K and for 8-bit PNG 16K.

    The attached image shows both bitmaps at 400%. The JPEG is full of artifacts, the PNG is ver clean.
