Could someone please explain why I keep getting an extra area of white border around all of my images when I put them on my webpage?
I set the document size in Illustrator to the exact dimensions I want, fill it up exactly with my image, then export it as either a jpeg or gif, and when I transfer them to the web server and view them, they have a white border all the way around. This is getting extremely frustrating!! :(
