Artboards help streamline your design process by giving you an area where you can lay out designs for different devices and screens. Artboards represent the regions that can contain printable or exportable artwork. While creating artboards, you can choose from a wide variety of preset sizes or define your own custom artboard size.

You can have 1 to 1000 artboards per document depending on the size of your artboards. You can specify the number of artboards for a document when you first create it, and you can add and remove artboards at any time while working in a document. You can create artboards in different sizes, resize them by using the Artboard tool and position them anywhere on the screen—even overlapping one another. Illustrator also provides options to set the orientation, reorder, and rearrange artboards using the Artboards panel, Properties panel, or the Control panel (when the Artboard tool is selected). You can specify custom names for an artboard. You can also set reference points for artboards in Illustrator.

You can use artboards as crop areas for printing or exporting purposes. Multiple artboards are useful for creating various things such as multiple page PDFs, printed pages with different sizes or different elements, independent elements for websites, video storyboards, or individual items for animation in Adobe Animate or After Effects.

Create an artboard

    • To create a custom artboard, select the Artboard tool , and drag in the document to define the shape, size, and location.

    • To use a preset artboard, double-click the Artboard tool, select a preset and specify other options in the Artboard Options dialog box, and click OK. Drag the artboard to position it where you want.

    • To duplicate an existing artboard, select the Artboard tool, click to select the artboard you want to duplicate, and click the New Artboard button in the Control panel or the Properties panel. To create multiple duplicates, Alt-click as many times as you want. Or, using the Artboard tool, Alt-drag (Windows) or Option-drag (macOS) the artboard you want to duplicate.

    • To duplicate an artboard with the contents, select the Artboard tool, click to select the Move/Copy Artwork With Artboard () in the Properties panel or the Control panel, press Alt (Windows) or Option (macOS), and then drag.

    If you want the artwork to contain a bleed, make sure that there's enough artwork beyond the artboard bounds to accommodate the bleed.

  2. To commit the artboard and exit the artboard-editing mode, click a different tool in the Tools panel or click Esc.

Artboard options

To open the Artboard Options dialog box, do one of the following:

In theArtboard Options dialog, specify the following options:

Name

Specifies the name of the artboard.

Preset

Specifies artboard dimensions. These presets set the video ruler pixel aspect ratio appropriately for the specified output.

Width and Height

Specifies the size of the artboard.

X: and Y: Position

Specifies the position of the artboard according to Illustrator's workspace rulers. To view these rulers, choose View > Show Rulers.

Orientation

Specifies portrait or landscape page orientation.

Constrain Proportions

Keeps the aspect ratio of the artboard intact if you manually resize it.

Show Center Mark

Displays a point in the center of the artboard.

Show Cross Hairs

Displays cross lines through the center of each side of the artboard.

Show Video Safe Areas

Displays guides that represent the areas that fall inside the viewable area of video. You want to keep all text and art that must be viewable to users inside the video safe areas.

Video Ruler Pixel Aspect Ratio

Specifies the pixel aspect ratio used for the video rulers.

Fade Region Outside Artboard

Displays the area outside the artboard a darker shade than the area inside the artboard when the Artboard tool is active.

Update While Dragging

Keeps the area outside the artboard darker as you drag to resize the artboard. If this is not selected, the outside area displays in the same color as inside the artboard while resizing.

Artboards

    • Select the Delete option from the Artboards panel menu (flyout menu).
    • Press Delete key.

View artboards and the canvas

Each artboard is bound by solid lines and represents the maximum printable area. To hide the artboard boundaries, choose View > Hide Artboards. The canvas is the area outside the artboard that extends to the edge of the 220-inches square window. The canvas represents a space on which you can create, edit, and store elements of artwork before moving them onto an artboard. Objects placed onto the canvas are visible onscreen, but they do not print.

To center an artboard and zoom it to fit the screen, click the artboard number in the status bar, at the bottom of the application window.

  1. Select the Artboard tool from the Tools panel.

    • Click an artboard to make it active. (Clicking in or drawing over an artboard using a different tool makes the Artboard tool active.) If artboards overlap, the artboard with the left edge closest to the click location becomes the active artboard.
    View artboards

    • To navigate between artboards, press Alt (Windows) or Option (macOS) and click an arrow key.
    • To view artboards and their contents as outlines, right-click and choose Outline from the context menu. To see artwork again, right-click and choose Preview.

You can view the page boundaries in relation to an artboard by showing print tiling (View >Show Print Tiling). When print tiling is on, the printable and nonprintable areas are represented by a series of solid and dotted lines between the outermost edge of the window and the printable area of the page.

Edit artboards

You can create multiple artboards for your document, but only one can be active at a time. When you have multiple artboards defined, you can view them all by selecting the Artboard tool. Each artboard is numbered for easy reference. You can edit or delete an artboard at any time, and you can specify different artboards each time you print or export.

  1. Select the artboards you want to edit.

    • To resize the artboards, position the pointer on an edge or corner until the cursor changes to a double-sided arrow, and then drag to adjust. Or, specify new Width and Height values in the Properties panel or the Control panel.

    • To change the orientation of the artboards , click the Portrait or Landscape button in the Properties panel or the Control panel.

    • To rotate between artboards, press Alt (Windows) or Option (macOS) and click an arrow key.

    • To view artboards and their contents as outlines, right-click and choose Outline from the context menu. To see artwork again, right-click and choose Preview.

Cut, copy, and paste artboards

You can cut or copy artboards from one document to another keeping the layout position of artboards intact in the destination document.

To do this, select the artboard(s) using the Artboard tool and do one of the following:

  • Choose Edit > Cut | Copy | Paste.
  • Use the following shortcut keys:

Operation

Windows

macOS

Cut

Ctrl+X

Command+X

Copy

Ctrl+C

Command+C

Paste

Command+V

Note: Advanced Paste options will be disabled when you cut and copy artboards.

After you paste artboards

Artboards are arranged in a tabular format on the canvas. When you copy an artboard, it is pasted after the last artboard in the active artboard row. If no space exists in the active row, the artboard will be moved to the next row.

By default, the content is moved when you copy artboards. To disable the movement of content, click the Move/Copy artwork with artboard () button available in the Control panel.

Select the Paste Remembers Layer option in the Layers panel.

By default, Illustrator does not move any locked or hidden objects when you copy artboards. To change this experience, choose Preferences >Selection And Anchor Display > Move Locked And Hidden Artwork With Artboard.

Yes, you can also drag the artboards to move them to a desired location.

When you copy artboards, the same artboard name is shown for the original and the copied version. You can differentiate between artboards based on their IDs.

Move an artboard

  1. Select the artboards you want to move.

Reorder artboards

In the Artboards panel, you can use the Up and Down Arrows at the bottom of the panel to reorder the artboards. However, reordering artboards in the Artboards panel, does not reorder the artboards in the work area.

Rearrange artboards

A. Default order in the Artboards panelB. Reordered artboards in the Artboards panel

Rearrange artboards

To fit all artboards in view, you can rearrange artboards using the Grid by Row, Grid by Column, Arrange by Row, and Arrange by Column options.

To rearrange artboards, do the following:

  1. Select the Rearrange All Artboards option from the Properties panel or the flyout menu of the Artboards panel.

  2. In the Rearrange All Artboards dialog box, choose any one layout from the following options:

    Grid by Row

      Arranges multiple artboards in the specified number of rows. Specify the number of rows in the Rows box. The default value creates the most square appearance possible with the specified number of artboards.

    Grid by Column

      Arranges multiple artboards in the specified number of columns. Choose the number of columns from the Columns menu. The default value creates the most square appearance possible with the specified number of artboards.

    Arrange by Row

      Arranges all the artboards in a single row.

    Arrange by Column

      Arranges all the artboards in a single column.

    Change to Right-to-Left Layout/Change to Left-to-Right Layout

    Arranges the artboards from left to right or right to left. By default, artboards are arranged from left to right. If you select the Change to Right-to-Left Layout option, the Grid by Row and Grid Column options change to Right-to-Left Grid by Row and Right-to-Left Grid by Column.

  3. Specify the spacing between the artboards. This setting applies to both horizontal and vertical spacing.

  4. Select the Move Artwork with Artboard option to move the artwork whenever the artboards location changes.

Additionally, an artboard within an artboard is treated like a crop area and is moved along with the containing artboard.

Align and distribute artboards

You can align or distribute selected artboards along the axis you specify using the Properties panel, the Align panel, or the Control panel.

To align or distribute artboards, do the following:

  1. Select the artboards you want to align or distribute.

  2. Do one of the following:

    • In the Properties panel (Window > Properties), click the icon for the type of alignment or distribution you want.
    • Click Align in the Control panel, and then click the icon for the type of alignment or distribution you want.
    • Choose Window > Align, and then click the icon for the type of alignment or distribution you want.
    • ChooseWindow>Properties, and then click the icon for the type of alignment or distribution you want.
    Align artboards

Customize artboard names

Each artboard can now be given a custom name, when in artboard edit mode.

To assign a custom name to an artboard, do the following:

  1. Select the Artboard Tool to edit the artboard.

  2. Select the artboard and specify the artboard name in the Name box of the Artboard Control Panel or the Properties panel.

    Alternatively, you can provide a custom name in the Name field of the Artboard Options dialog box. To open the dialog box, click Artboard Options in the Properties panel or the flyout menu of the Artboards Panel. Click OK to commit the new name for the chosen artboard.

The new artboard name appears on the upper-left side of the artboard. The custom name also shows up in the Artboard Navigation field and drop-down next to document's status area.

If you assign a custom name to artboards, these names are added as suffix to the filename while saving artboard-specific files to all formats.

Enter a custom name for an artboard in the Properties panel.

To return to the default name, clear the name of the artboard from the Name field in the Properties panel or the Control panel.

Set reference points for artboards (9-point referencing)

To set reference points for artboards, use the Artboard Options dialog box or the Artboard options in the Properties panel or the Control panel.

This option allows you to hinge a corner or center of an artboard while its size is being changed.

Display artboard rulers, center mark, cross hairs, or safe area

You can choose to display a center mark, cross hairs, video safe markers, and rulers around an artboard. Rulers are useful when you're working with art intended for export to video. The numbers on the rulers reflect device-specific pixels, regardless of the measurement unit specified in preferences. The default Video Ruler Pixel Aspect Ratio (VPAR) for Illustrator is 1.0 (for square pixels)—this value changes according to the preset you choose either in the Artboard Options dialog box or the New Document dialog box.

If you're using nonsquare pixels, the ruler provides for easier device-specific pixel calculations. For example, if you specify an artboard of 100 x100 Illustrator points, and you want to know the exact size in device-dependent pixels before exporting the file for use in an NTSC DV Widescreen, you can set the video ruler in Illustrator to use a video ruler pixel aspect ratio of 1.2 (for wide pixels) and the ruler reflects the change and displays the artboard as 83 x100 device pixels (100/1.2 = 83.333).

Display center mark, cross hairs, or video safe areas

The center mark, cross hairs, and video safe area are video properties that assist you in creating videos. To display these properties:

  1. Double-click the Artboard tool in the Tools panel, or, with the Artboard tool active, click the Artboard Options icon in the Properties panel or the Control panel.

  2. In the Display section, select the options you'd like displayed in your artboards.

    You can also set or remove the center point by clicking the Show Center Mark icon in the Control panel.

Save, export, and print artboards

Save and export artboards

You can save and export artboards in different file formats. When you save or export artwork, Illustrator writes the artwork data to a file. The structure of the data depends on the file format that you select. For details, see how to save artboards in Illustrator.

You can also export artwork in a variety of file formats for use outside Illustrator. These formats are called non-native formats because Illustrator won't be able to retrieve all the data if you reopen the file in Illustrator. For this reason, it is recommended that you save artwork in AI format until you have finished creating it, and then export the artwork to the desired format. For details, see how to export artwork in Illustrator.

Print artboards

All artboards in a document share the same media type format, such as Print. You can print each artboard individually, tiled, or combined into one page. If you save a multiple-artboard Illustrator document to a previous version of Illustrator, you can choose to save each artboard as a separate file, along with a master file that includes all artboards merged.

You can preview artboards from the print dialog box before printing them. The print settings you choose are applied to all the artboards you selected to print.

By default all artwork is cropped to an artboard and all artboards print as individual pages. Use the Range option in the Print dialog box to print specific pages, select Ignore Artboards and specify placement options to combine all art onto a single page or tile the artwork as desired.

In Illustrator, artboards in a document can automatically rotate to print to the chosen media size. Select the Auto-Rotate check box in the Print dialog box to set auto rotation for Illustrator documents. For a document created in Illustrator, Auto-Rotate is enabled by default.

For example, consider a document with both landscape (width is more than height) and portrait (height is more than width) media size. If you select the paper size as portrait in the Size of the Print dialog box, then the landscape artboards automatically rotate to portrait media when printing.

Note: If Auto-Rotate is selected, you cannot change the direction of the page.

For details, see how to set up Illustrator files for printing.
