Set the document color mode
- Open your file in Illustrator.
- Go to File → Document Color Mode.
- Select RGB Color.
Export with an embedded color profile
- Go to File → Export → Export As.
- Choose JPEG or TIFF.
- Enable Embed ICC Profile.
- Export the file.
If available, select Adobe RGB (1998) as the RGB profile.
Common issues
