Cloud documents overview

Learn about cloud documents in Illustrator on the web (Beta).

Adobe Illustrator is available as a web app for creating, editing, and sharing Illustrator cloud documents (.aic). Creators can design in the browser and share a link so collaborators can open and make basic edits without downloading the app. 

Your journey in Illustrator on the web (Beta) begins with creating, opening, or importing your documents. These documents are automatically saved as Creative Cloud documents in the web app and are accessible from the desktop and iPad apps. Cloud documents let you work with full document fidelity without the risk of losing unsaved work. You can also track, manage, and restore document versions anytime.

Difference between Illustrator on the web (Beta) and Illustrator on desktop

Illustrator on the web (Beta) supports core desktop workflows and features to create logos, marketing graphics, illustrations, and more in a more modern user interface that is easily accessible in the browser. As we continue to expand functionality, we welcome your feedback on desired features.

Save assets created in the beta version for future use

We encourage you to explore Illustrator on the web (Beta), where your documents are stored as cloud documents. When testing the beta version, we recommend downloading copies or backing up important documents and production content.
