Scottil Converting AI (Adobe Illustrator) files to PNG directly via Command Prompt (CMD) on Windows 11 isn't natively supported, as Windows doesn't have built-in tools for handling AI files in CMD. However, you can achieve this by using a combination of open-source tools and scripts.
Inkcape provides a command-line interface that allows you to convert files from one format to another, including AI to PNG. Here’s how you can do it:
