Embedding images in Adobe Illustrator ensures that your images are permanently integrated into your project, making it easier to share and avoid missing file issues. Follow these steps to embed images in Illustrator.

Step 1: Open Your Document

Start by opening your Illustrator project where you want to embed an image. If you haven't created a document yet, go to File > New to create one.

Step 2: Place the Image

To insert the image, go to File > Place and select the image file from your computer. Click "Place" to add it to your artboard.

Step 3: Embed the Image

Once the image is placed, select it on the artboard. A small icon in the control panel will appear that says "Embed" when you hover over it. Click on this button to embed the image into your document. This action ensures that the image is now part of the file, and you won’t have to worry about missing links.

Step 4: Check Image Embedding

To confirm the image is embedded, go to the "Links" panel (Window > Links). If the image shows an "Embedded" icon next to it, your image is successfully embedded in the document.
