Quick Answer: What Is Canvas in Illustrator?
Contents

There is no canvas in Illustrator. In Illustrator you have the (about) 227″ x 227″ Workspace, and inside that the Artboard, which corresponds to the page (in print), and which holds the artwork that is printed or saved as PDF; in the newest versions, it is also used to crop for exporting artwork in other formats.

What is my canvas size in Illustrator?

To view artboard dimensions, click the Artboard tool, choose Document from the panel menu, and then click to select the artboard you want to view.

What is the purpose of Artboards in Illustrator?

Organize your artwork on separate artboards in Adobe Illustrator. Develop your design on separate artboards, which work like pages in Adobe InDesign or any word processing app. You can organize design elements on different artboards, and then print or export them individually.
