Overview
Adobe Illustrator is a vector graphics editor built around paths rather than pixels, letting artwork scale to any size without quality loss.
First released in 1987, it remains one of Adobe's flagship design applications and the industry standard for logo and icon design.
Key Features
Illustrator's Pen tool, typography controls, and gradient/pattern tools give designers precise control over vector artwork, and it shares assets with other Creative Cloud apps through Creative Cloud Libraries.
Generative Recolor, powered by Adobe Firefly, lets users recolor artwork from text prompts, and an iPad app supports drawing and editing with Apple Pencil.
Pricing Overview
A single-app plan starts around $22.99/month on an annual commitment billed monthly (about $34.49/month without an annual commitment). The Creative Cloud All Apps plan runs about $59.99/month annually, and a Team plan is available around $37.99/user/month.
