| Company | Adobe |
| Description | AI is Adobe Illustrator's native file format. Starting with version 9 (2000), .ai files are actually PDF documents with extra Illustrator metadata layered on top — the same file opens in both Illustrator and Acrobat, though only Illustrator sees the editable paths. Before version 9, .ai was a PostScript variant. |
| Benefits | Preserves every Illustrator edit: layers, appearance attributes, gradient meshes, blend objects, artboards, swatches, symbols. The PDF-compatible structure means teams without Illustrator can still view the artwork. Supports vector-accurate print output at any resolution. |
| Drawbacks | Editing requires Illustrator. Cheaper vector editors (Affinity Designer, Inkscape) can open .ai but often lose Illustrator-specific features. Files can balloon in size once you include embedded raster images, and viewers that read them as PDF see a flattened, non-editable version. |
