Can Photoshop Save as AI File?

Last updated on September 24, 2022 @ 11:56 am

Yes, Photoshop can save as AI file. However, there are some important things to know about this file format. Adobe Illustrator is a vector-based program, meaning that it creates graphics using mathematical equations to define the lines and shapes.

Photoshop, on the other hand, is a raster-based program, meaning that it creates graphics using pixels. When you save a file as an AI file from Photoshop, you are essentially converting a raster image into a vector image. This can cause some loss of quality, as well as some distortion of the image.

PRO TIP: No, Photoshop cannot save as an AI file.

That being said, there are still many reasons why you might want to save a Photoshop file as an AI file. Perhaps you need to edit the image in Illustrator, or you want to use the image in a vector-based program.

Whatever the reason, it is possible to save a Photoshop file as an AI file. Just be aware of the potential issues that may arise.
