Illustrator is the world’s most popular and powerful vector drawing program. But if you’re a regular user, you probably have your personal wishlist of things it would do (or do better). That’s where scripts can help you.
So, we asked Illustrator expert Jean-Claude Tremblay to curate a set of free scripts to improve your Illustrator workflow.
The set includes ten scripts to give you superpowers for things like:
- Relinking placed artwork to files with other names or extensions
- Adding page numbers to artboards
- Editing all document text in one convenient window
- Renaming, duplicating, and resizing artboards and the art they contain
- Threading text
- Ungrouping complex art and releasing clipping masks
- Checking (and fixing!) color contrast for accessibility
- And more!
The download file includes a description of what each script does and links to detailed documentation by the script authors.
If you need help installing the scripts, check out this post.
