Illustrator artwork

Open .ai files free in your browser

Adobe Illustrator’s vector artwork file, used for logos, icons and print. Vector in Madosuite opens .ai files and saves them back, in a browser tab, without Illustrator.

Vector in Madosuite

Three steps

  1. Open Madosuite

    In your browser. A small Linux machine starts on your device.

  2. Upload the file

    In Files, press Upload and pick your .ai file. Then open it with Vector.

  3. Edit and save

    Save it as .ai again, or export SVG or PDF, and download it.

Vector opens PDF-compatible .ai files (Illustrator saves them that way by default). Layer structure from real files is not yet reliable.
