{{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 customise 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.

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.
