About this tool
Illustrator remains the professional vector tool for icons, diagrams, and brand systems that outgrow a UI canvas. Product and content designers still bounce between Figma and Illustrator for complex illustration.
It is not a wireframe or whiteboard tool. Use it for graphic craft; keep flows in Figma, Overflow, or Lucidchart.
