Adobe Illustrator subscription
Illustrator is Adobe's vector drawing application. Everything you draw is described mathematically, so a logo scaled up to a billboard stays exactly as crisp as it was on screen — that is the core difference between it and Photoshop.
What you can do with it
Logos and identities
Design a mark that works from a favicon to a shopfront, and hand it over in every format a client asks for.
Icons and illustration
Consistent icon sets and illustrations in a unified style, in files light enough to ship.
Typography
Convert type to outlines and control every anchor point, in both Arabic and Latin scripts.
Packaging and print
Packaging and label artwork with precise dimensions and die lines, ready for the printer.
Key capabilities
- Vector drawing that stays sharp at any magnification
- Pen and curvature tools for complete path control
- Full Arabic script support, including diacritics and kerning
- Reusable colour palettes, gradients and pattern swatches

Who it is for
Brand and identity designers, vector illustrators, and packaging or print designers — any work that has to stay clean at every size.
What's included
Illustrator is part of the complete Creative Cloud plan, so it arrives alongside Photoshop, InDesign and the rest, with 100GB of storage and the Adobe Fonts library.
Illustrator questions
- How is it different from Photoshop?
- Photoshop works in pixels, which suits photographs. Illustrator works in vectors, which suits logos and icons that must scale without pixelating. The subscription includes both.
- Does it support Arabic type?
- Yes — full Arabic script support with diacritics and letter-level control, and Adobe Fonts carries a large Arabic library.
