# convert vectors to pixels
Vectors are a powerful way to create graphics, however the file formats available don't play well with internet browsers. You will need to flatten your vector work into a jpg or png to be able to post it to the internet. There are several methods that we will get into over the course. This is the simplest process:
1. Open your vector file in Illustrator
2. From the pull-down menus select **File > Export > Export As...**
3. Be sure to save as either a jpg or png
4. Choose your save location (easiest to choose Desktop)
5. Press **Export**
6. Enjoy!
