Frequently asked questions.
Adobe Illustrator is the industry-leading graphic design tool that lets you design anything you can imagine – from logos and icons to graphics and illustrations – and customize it with professional-level precision, as well as time-saving features like Repeat for Patterns or Global Edits. You can use the graphics you create with Illustrator in any size digital or print format, and be confident they’ll look exactly the way you designed them.
Both products let you create beautiful, precise designs and graphics. The difference lies in how they’re created. Illustrator is best for creating graphics that can be infinitely scaled up or down without blurring or losing sharpness, since they’re made of points, lines, and curves — not pixels. Use these vector graphics in any format you like — small or extra-large, digital or print. Photoshop, on the other hand, is ideal for working with photos and creating or editing pixel-based, or raster, graphics. Learn more about when to use Illustrator vs. Photoshop here.
Not at all. With Illustrator, you can use shapes, lines, curves, and edges to create beautiful designs with features like Shape Builder, even if you’ve never drawn a thing in your life. Or, try out customizable templates for when you want to get started quickly on a project. The best part is that you can keep modifying and changing colors, fonts, shapes and more – whenever and as much as you like.
