The state of the art of illustration.
The industry-standard vector graphics app lets you create logos, icons, drawings, typography, and illustrations for print, web, video, and mobile.
Iconic work at any size.
Get all the drawing tools you need to turn simple shapes and colors into sophisticated logos, icons, and graphics. Illustrator artwork is vector-based, so it can scale down for mobile screens and up to billboard size — and always look crisp and beautiful.
Gorgeous typography that says it all.
Incorporate a company name into a logo, create a flyer, or mock up a website design with the best type tools out there. Add effects, manage styles, and edit individual characters to create typographic designs that perfectly express your messages.
Draw attention everywhere.
Create freehand drawings, or trace and recolor imported photos to turn them into works of art. Use your illustrations anywhere, including printed pieces, presentations, websites, blogs, and social media.

Portable release description
📂 Files
- Adobe Illustrator 2026 Portable.exe = main program and data file
- Camera Raw package = an additional optional .svm package including latest Camera Raw.
- bridge.svm = includes latest Bridge program, launch it via File->Browse in Bridge
Known issues:
CC 2019+ Suite activation method completely changed from previous years. Patched versions are out, but they still have some minor issues. (even install version, it's not a portable issue!)
For Illustrator 2020: Home screen doesn't load v24.0, ignore it and just use menus to open/create files. Will hopefully be fixed in future builds. fixed in 24.0.2+
🌐 Languages
Multilanguage version! Download the separate Language Pack 2026 and keep it in the same folder as the main Portable exe. Ai will then start in your system language. Sadly Adobe does not give the ability to choose language in settings, not my fault.

🧩 Addons & Plugins
This is a multi-package portable. Plugins/addons/extensions/presets/brushes/etc can be added in two ways:
• via .svm files (managed by me), put in the same folder as main exe.
• via 'normal files' (managed by you), put under sandbox folder.

you work is great, but will illustrator run faster if I install the setup version instead of the portable?
yes everything has pro and cons, setup is always faster, while portable is virtualized, and depending on how it’s made and what it does and your hardware, you may perceive the difference or not
Thanks for doing this portable, you’re life saver! Gracias <3
Hello, can you add an option to change language or an add on like the one you made for english? my windows is in english and i wanna use illustrator in french
I hope than LR will be in next few months.
Hi! I just tried to install this on my Windows 11 running on Parallels 17 on a M1 Macbook, but I get the catastrophic error reported below. Can I do any test or help you in any way to solve this? Thanks!
caso molto molto specifico e delicato su cui non ti so proprio aiutare, perché non usi direttamente Ai per mac? 😅
Big fan of you. A big thank you from my heart.
Hello. I have no problems. This works absolutely perfectly on my Windows 11. Thank you so much sir for all your hard work making us these portables.
Amazing work! I have been following you guys since a couple of years ago, and I love all the work you have been doing.
Thank you for all your help!
I only read shitty comments here. Only comment when it doesn’t work? And when they work, can’t waste 2 minutes to write something? More positivity please!
Thank you very much for your work. I’ve been following you for a few years… This website must be the oldest bookmark I have kept on broswer, of few.
you got the point, unfortunately that’s how everything works, it’s important to just keep that in mind when reading reviews etc.
Thank you so much! 💝
I take the opportunity to ask you, have you stopped producing?
I come back from time to time when I have some free time 😀
Adobe bridge is not logging in. I’m using AI portable.
what ai and what bridge?

I think you fail to understand how ISP’s work… Ad’s have nothing to do with rates from an ISP. Everyone in the world could use an adblock and it would not raise any ISP rates.. not even 1 cent.
the economy goes round and round my boi, think bigger
