Annoying white border around artwork! (Illustrator)

silence · 03:32 AM

I have another annoying problem which i've racked my brains over and over.. yet i still can't seem to find an answer..

i'm hoping someone here can please show me the light!

After saving artwork as 'save for web' (jpeg or gif) in illustrator CS.. it ALWAYS leaves a thin white border around the image. It wouldn't usually be a problem except for when the webpage is a dark colour or black. Why does it do this?? Does anyone know how to avoid this frustrating problem?

Have you tried removing any borders of the artwork outer lines? Even clear ones. Just set them to border: 0.

Hm in Illustrator i don't think there is a function where u can select border: 0. I do set border: 0 in Adobe GoLive, but that doesn't make a difference as there is already a white border existing in the image.

Sry I meant stroke... surely you can set a width for this, no?
just set it to 0.

that's the thing.. even with all borders / strokes set to '0'.. it still creates a slight border.. you wouldn't usually notice it, until you place that artwork ontop of a dark background.. even within Illustrator. Photoshop doesn't have a problem.. it's just with any artwork saved from illustrator.... argh

I've never encountered such a problem. You might want to try exporting after setting crop marks to the overall image and see if that works.
