Adobe Illustrator Line FAQ

Having three drawing apps with overlapping functionality caused confusion for our users. By incorporating Line's unique features and tools into Photoshop Sketch and Illustrator Draw, it's easier to produce expressive drawings and create beautiful vector illustrations.

Existing Line users will continue to have access to the app. However, Line will not receive new updates or support, and will be removed from the app store on Oct 5.
