Have you ever thought of converting an AI vector file to PDF, but were worried about image quality loss? AI is the native format of Adobe Illustrator and is preferred by many graphics designers for storing and editing vector-based drawings. However, handling an AI file might pose some difficulties. Why? Firstly, vector files tend to be very large in size. So transferring them by e-mail, for example, might be an issue. Secondly, viewing and editing such files requires having Adobe Illustrator or a similar advanced graphics editing software installed on your computer. These types of programs are difficult to use for non-professionals and are quite expensive.
Hence, if you plan to send the images you created in an AI format to people who only have regular image viewers installed on their computer, you will need to convert the images to a more accessible format. And you have several options here. One would be to convert your AI files to JPEGs. Though this would provide you with a smaller-size image, which is easier to transfer and view, converting to JPEG might also you mean the quality of your images might be seriously affected.
For this reason, we recommend converting your AI files to PDF, thus ensuring you preserve image quality when you switch from vector to a more accessible format. Completing such a conversion can be a fast and easy task when you are using a powerful converter such as reaConverter.
