Set anti-aliasing options for type

When you save artwork in a bitmap format—such as JPEG, GIF, or PNG—Illustrator rasterizes all objects at 72 pixels per inch and applies anti-aliasing to them. However, if your artwork contains type, the default anti-aliasing settings may not produce the desired results. Illustrator provides several options specifically for rasterizing type. To take advantage of these options, you must rasterize type objects before you save the artwork.

Select the type object, and do one of the following:
- To permanently rasterize the type, choose Object > Rasterize.
- To create the appearance of rasterization without changing the object’s underlying structure, choose Effect > Rasterize.
Choose an anti-aliasing option:
None

Applies no anti-aliasing and maintains the hard edges of type when it is rasterized.
Art Optimized (Supersampling)

Default option that rasterizes all objects, including text objects at 72 pixels per inch and applies anti-aliasing to them.
Type Optimized (Hinted)

Applies anti-aliasing that is best suited to type. Anti-aliasing reduces the appearance of jagged edges in the rasterized image and gives type a smoother on‑screen appearance. However, it can also make small text difficult to read.
