| Description | 🔵 The .ai format is pretty specific; it was developed by Adobe Systems, naturally. It’s a proprietary file, meaning it’s really meant for single-page vector drawings—kind of based on EPS or PDF formats. Since it's mainly used by Adobe Illustrator, which is the big name in vector graphics editing, the file is perfect for creating and modifying vector stuff. AI files are top choice for logos and illustrations because they can be scaled up or down basically forever without losing any image quality. |
| Technical details | 🔵 The .ai file format is proprietary. Adobe Illustrator is the main program for it. Technically, it uses vectors (scalable paths and points) to draw the artwork, unlike raster files like JPGs or PNGs. That vector setup is why they are perfect for things like logos that need to be resized constantly. While these files were originally only for Illustrator, you can actually open them with other design software now, though you might run into a few small limitations. The AI format takes a lot of inspiration from PDF. It supports things like layers and multiple artboards, and can handle both vector and raster graphics inside. They stay completely editable, which means you can go back and change any single element. File size usually just depends on how complicated the design is and how many images you stuck in there. Illustrator also has this handy backward compatibility thing, so you can save files for older versions to open, but maybe without the newest features. These files are absolutely essential for any professional graphic designer or printer. |
