Adobe Illustrator

Adobe Illustrator is an industry-standard vector graphics software used by millions of designers and artists to create everything from gorgeous web and mobile graphics to logos, icons, book illustrations, product packaging, and billboards.

Instead of using bitmap images to store data, this program used algorithms to draw shapes. That is why the vector graphics created within Illustrator can be scaled to any size without losing their quality or overall resolution. Because of this unique design, Adobe Illustrator is used to make everything from business logos to detailed illustrations to animated concepts. It can print layouts, create stunning website graphics, and give users complete control over their typography.

First release (version 1.0) on Classic Mac OS platform in January 1987. Latest version is 2020 (24.0.2) for Mac/Windows platform, released in December 2019.
