How to use {{text-to-vector-graphic}}.

  • Open {{illustrator}}.
    If you don’t have an {{illustrator}} subscription, sign up for a free trial. If you have {{illustrator}}, make sure to update your app to get all the latest features like {{text-to-vector-graphic}}.
  • Locate the {{text-to-vector-graphic}} tools.
    Create a new project in Illustrator or open a pre-existing one. The Contextual Task Bar will appear at the bottom of your workspace, and settings will appear in the Properties panel.
  • Generate your graphic.
    Type a description like “giraffe head peeking at you” into the prompt field in the taskbar. Click Generate. Thumbnails of graphic options will appear in the Properties panel. Select an option to view it on your canvas. Learn more about how to write AI art prompts that get results.
  • Fine-tune your results.
    Adjust the settings before you generate to get a specific outcome. Choose a Type to generate a subject, scene, or icon. Text to Vector Graphic will automatically generate assets in the style of graphics on your artboard unless you click the gear icon and toggle off “Match active artboard style.” Or, you can click the dropper icon to activate the Style Reference and select “Reference Images” to create graphics in that style. Use a blank artboard to generate vectors from only a text prompt.
  • Edit your vector.
    Once you’ve generated an image you like, you can click Done in the taskbar and then perform quick edits like grouping and ungrouping images, duplicating objects, or recoloring. Select Recolor to open the Recolor panel, where you can adjust hues manually, or choose the Generative Recolor option to explore new color palettes with text prompts.
  • Go further.
    Open the Layers panel to select and edit individual parts of your graphic. A generated vector is just the beginning — use the many precise editing tools in Illustrator to make your image your own.
