How do I reduce the size of an image in Illustrator?

Last updated on May 7, 2023 @ 7:41 am

PRO TIP: If you are planning on reducing the size of an image in Illustrator, be aware that this may result in the loss of some image quality. In order to avoid this, it is best to resize the image in another program such as Photoshop before importing it into Illustrator.

In Illustrator, you can reduce the size of an image by opening the Object menu.

From there, choose Transform > Scale.

In the Scale dialog box, you can find two options for the Scale settings. You can use the Uniform option if you want to maintain the aspect ratio of your image while resizing it. On the other hand, you can use the Non-Uniform option to freely change the size of your image without any constraints.

 

You can specify the horizontal and vertical dimensions of the image to reduce its size. When you’re finished, click the OK button to apply the changes.

NOTE: You can click on the Preview checkbox to see the real-time changes in the size of your image.

And there you have it! Your image size is now reduced!
