Adobe Illustrator

Adobe Illustrator enables creation and editing of scalable vector graphics for illustrations, logos, and complex designs. It focuses on vector workflows with tools for drawing paths, shapes, and type, plus support for multiple artboards. Differentiation comes from generative AI features like Text to Vector Graphic for creating custom vectors from prompts, Generative Recolor for palettes from concepts, and Text to Pattern for seamless patterns. Recent updates include enhanced snapping for precision alignment, real-time Pencil tool preview, and faster artboard operations. Performance improvements cover rendering of effects like Drop Shadow and Blur, plus smoother layer management.
