Adobe Illustrator is an industry standard drawing program used to create and edit vector graphics. Unlike Photoshop, Illustrator uses paths, rather than bitmaps, to create images. This allows Illustrator to alter and resize drawings without reducing the quality of the images. Illustrator is commonly used in professional environments to create logos, signs, digital art, drawings, and other types of graphics.

The Adobe Illustrator workspace includes a drawing canvas, known as an artboard, surrounded by various configurable toolbars and palettes. You can customize the workspace by hiding, revealing, and moving palettes to a preferred arrangement. You can also edit multiple artboards concurrently to streamline document editing across drawings.

Illustrator includes advanced features, such as color blending capabilities for creating photorealistic gradients and global editing for modifying similar objects across multiple artboards at the same time. The program also provides more accessible Adobe fonts that you can preview and activate within Illustrator. The software supports a myriad of other convenience tools that make the graphics workflow more efficient.

Adobe Illustrator integrates with other Creative Cloud (CC) programs through the use of interchangeable file formats. It also opens industry-standard graphics files such as .PDF, .EPS, .FXG, .SVG, .DWG, and .DXF.

If you are a drawing professional, you will find that it is hard to replace Illustrator with an alternative graphics editor. Its robust features and ability to help create clean, professional-quality graphics make Adobe Illustrator the right choice for serious vector art graphics professionals.
