The AI image file is specific to Adobe Illustrator and not everyone uses Adobe. The decision to convert to a JPG image file would likely satisfy a lot of people if your intention was to share the file with others. They would then be able to open it with Windows or Mac.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It may also be a matter of space. The average AI file is very large and space-consuming, whereas the average JPG file is about 70 percent smaller. This has negative effects on both hard drive space due to the time it takes to send the file to a third party. A smaller image file also helps websites with images create faster load times, which is a huge benefit in terms of keeping customers satisfied on their site.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cfigure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter wp-image-24960\">\u003Cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"400\" height=\"491\" src=\"\u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2019\u002F04\u002F19195337\u002Fconvert-ai-to-jpg-3.jpg\" alt=\"A screenshot of the AI logo.\" class=\"wp-image-24960\" srcset=\"\u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2019\u002F04\u002F19195337\u002Fconvert-ai-to-jpg-3.jpg 400w, \u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2019\u002F04\u002F19195337\u002Fconvert-ai-to-jpg-3-367x450.jpg 367w\" \u002F>\u003Cfigcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The AI image file is very large.\u003C\u002Ffigcaption>\u003C\u002Ffigure>\u003Ch2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"toc-6--other-factors-to-consider\">Other factors to consider\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A JPG is a smaller, more widely-used image format but it has significantly fewer editing options than an AI. Be certain you’re finished with your entire editing process before making the decision to move the file from an AI to a JPG. Furthermore, the AI isn’t always the best choice in terms of editing. It typically gives users the chance to work with more tools, though sometimes it’s size is an issue to older systems.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you’re trying to convert a JPG back into an AI, there are numerous tools available online to search for.
