It doesn’t matter if you are dedicated to graphic design or if you are simply an enthusiast of vector drawings: if you like this world, you probably already know all about Adobe Illustrator<\/strong>. If you use it often, you will also know that, despite its many virtues, speed<\/strong> is not exactly one of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you’ve ever opened a heavy file in Illustrator and had time to make a coffee in the meantime, this update is for you. Over the past few months, Adobe has released a series of updates that have significantly reduced loading times<\/strong>, among many other improvements.<\/p>\n\n\n

When was the last update released?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

At this moment, the latest known update of Adobe Illustrator is 29.6<\/strong>, released in June. Throughout this year, we have had a series of revisions in January, March, and April, during which the program’s speed has been progressively improved.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Performance and Speed Improvements<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Since the beginning of 2025, Adobe has significantly improved the performance of Adobe Illustrator<\/strong>. Some aspects, such as having smoother layer management and faster file exports, have been a reality since January.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the past month of April, users who updated Illustrator were able to see how the menus, both top and contextual, open and respond more quickly. Navigation from Text<\/strong> and the Font<\/strong> menu, which has always caused a bit of \u201chiccup\u201d for the program, is now also smoother and faster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the other hand, we can now move faster through the Links<\/strong> panel while it updates in real time as embedded and linked files are modified. The effects<\/strong> are also processed faster. Performing actions like Transform<\/strong>, Warp<\/strong>, and Merge<\/strong> will not take as long as it used to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The latest known update, the June 2025 version (29.6), comes with another series of very interesting performance improvements. Notably, we have the Calligraphic Brushes<\/strong> and Art Brushes<\/strong>, which now render effects faster. You will also see that actions such as move<\/strong>, scale<\/strong>, rotate<\/strong> and duplicate<\/strong> are also much smoother within Illustrator. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Generative expansion: generate graphics in seconds<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The always welcome performance improvements in Illustrator have been accompanied by another series of very striking new features, such as Generative Expand.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Users will be able to use this function to extend the dimensions of a vector drawing beyond its original shape. This will also be very useful when printing your projects, as you will be able to fill in the bleed areas, for example. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To use Generative Expand, you will need to do the following within Adobe Illustrator:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
