AI
AI is Adobe Illustrator's native file format for editable vector artwork such as logos, illustrations and print layouts.
PNG
PNG is a lossless image format with full transparency support, the usual choice for graphics, screenshots and editing copies.
FILE FORMATS
SOURCE
Adobe Illustrator files hold vector paths, artboards, type and layers. Since Illustrator 9 they are built on PDF, and when saved with the Create PDF Compatible File option they include a PDF copy that other programs can render. Logos, packaging and print artwork are often delivered as AI, which most people can't open without Illustrator.
TARGET
PNG stores every pixel exactly, so re-saving never degrades it. It supports full alpha transparency and 8 or 16 bits per channel, which makes it the standard for logos, UI graphics, screenshots and images that will be edited again. Photos as PNG are much larger than the same photo as JPG.

TROUBLESHOOTING
AI files depend on how they were saved.
01
The AI was probably saved without Create PDF Compatible File. Re-save it in Illustrator with that option on.
02
Artwork is rendered at 300 dpi with the long side kept between 1000 and 4000 px.
03
CMYK artwork is shown in RGB, which can shift some colors.
04
Fonts not embedded in the file can be substituted. Outline text in Illustrator before saving.
05
Each page or artboard becomes its own PNG.
06
Very complex files that take longer than 10 minutes to render are stopped.
