Adobe Illustrator is a vector graphics editor used to create scalable artwork such as logos, icons, illustrations, and typography that remain crisp at any size. Graphic designers, illustrators, and branding professionals rely on it as an industry-standard tool for print and digital design work. It uses mathematical paths rather than pixels, distinguishing it from raster-based tools like Photoshop.
