Illustrator on the iPad overview

Illustrator on the iPad lets you create gorgeous vector graphics with precision and speed, absolutely anywhere. 

With Illustrator on your iPad and Apple Pencil in your hand, you're all set to create magic on the canvas. 

You already have access to Illustrator on the iPad if you're a Creative Cloud subscriber. Just download the app and take your creativity to new places!

With familiar workspace, workflows, and touch shortcuts and gestures on the iPad, you’ll feel closer to your work than ever before. Core drawing tools – Pen, Pencil, Paint Brush and Blob Brush work amazingly on the iPad as you get more control over their settings.

Create high-precision designs that scale brilliantly to any size and format. Draw crisp lines, smooth curves and edit your graphics down to a pixel — all with responsiveness and natural fluidity of Apple Pencil. Add life to your designs with 20+ color books and gradients.

Quickly create patterns that span across canvas with Grid Repeat or create circular patterns with Radial Repeat. You can create symmetrical patterns of paths, shapes, and type with Mirror Repeat. The reflection changes in real time as you create. Also, you can create unique designs by blending objects.

Access 17,000 fonts from top foundry and designers directly from the app. Upload your own fonts through Illustrator on the iPad and use them in all Creative Cloud apps. Play with text on a path, use outlines to explore more design options with advanced type features.

Work on desktop, iPad, and even offline as your files are synced to the cloud, so you can always pick up where you left off. Your updates will get auto-synced when you go online again. With Illustrator on your iPad, you can stay creative wherever you go!
