Adobe Illustrator CC

Touch Type tool

Design with type by manipulating characters like individual objects. Move, scale and rotate text, and still change the font or edit at any time. You can use multitouch devices as well as a mouse or stylus.

CSS extraction

Take visual designs to the web faster by letting Illustrator generate CSS code for you. Copy/paste or export code for text, objects, even entire layouts with images, directly into your HTML editor or for hand off to a web developer.

Exchange panel

Discover plug-ins, extensions, templates, and other content that you can purchase or download for free from the new Adobe Exchange panel in Illustrator.

Images in brushes

Paint with a brush made from a photo. Art, Pattern, and Scatter brushes can contain raster images, so you can create complex organic designs quickly — with simple brush strokes. As with all Illustrator brushes, your strokes can be reshaped and modified at will.

Sync colors

Capture color themes out in the world with the Adobe Kuler iPhone app. Share your themes and explore thousands of others available on the Kuler website. Sync your favorite themes, and they'll be accessible immediately in Illustrator.

File packaging

With a single command, you can gather all your files, including linked graphics and fonts, into a single folder for organization or to hand off.

Unembedded images

Replace embedded images with links to their extracted PSD or TIFF files by selecting the image and choosing ‘Unembed’ from the Links panel menu or clicking ‘Unembed’ in the Control panel.

Font search

Quickly find the perfect font, fast. In the Character panel, type a style such as “bold” or “italic,” a font family, or any other part of a font name. You’ll get a filtered view that lets you see just the fonts that match your criteria.

Sync settings

Synchronize settings, including preferences, presets, libraries, and workspaces, to Creative Cloud and have the same working settings and environment on multiple computers, Mac or PC.

Expanded Links panel option

View and track additional information about placed artwork directly in the Links panel.

Multiple file place

Import multiple files into your Illustrator layout at the same time and with control. Use thumbnail views to define the location and size of your files, which can be images, graphics, or text.

Auto corners for pattern brushes

Create pattern brushes quickly with a choice of auto-generated corners that perfectly match the rest of the pattern.

On-art Free Transform tool

Move, scale, and rotate objects directly using a touchscreen device. Or use a mouse or other pointer right on the artboard to transform objects in a more immediate and intuitive way.
