Adobe Illustrator Scripts

Instructions in other languages: English, Русский

Hi

This is a collection of JS scripts for Adobe Illustrator. All scripts created by me, sometimes using parts of other authors’ code. The Github Gist contains the small scripts that are not included in the main collection.

The descriptions for each file can be found in the file’s header text. Test environment: Illustrator CS6, CC 2019-2025 (Windows), CC 2019-2025 (Mac OS).

How to download one script

In the script description, click button.
The tab will open the script code.
PressCmd/Ctrl+Sfor download.

How to run scripts

Variant 1 — Install

Download archive and unzip. All scripts are in the folder jsx
Place <script_name>.jsx in the Illustrator Scripts folder:

OS X: /Applications/Adobe Illustrator [vers.]/Presets.localized/en_GB/Scripts
Windows (32 bit): C:Program Files (x86)AdobeAdobe Illustrator [vers.]Presetsen_GBScripts
Windows (64 bit): C:Program FilesAdobeAdobe Illustrator [vers.] (64 Bit)Presetsen_GBScripts
RU lang: C:Program FilesAdobeAdobe Illustrator [версия]Стилиru_RUСценарии

Restart Illustrator
Scripts will be available in File → Scripts.

Variant 2 — Drag & Drop

Drag and drop the script file (JS or JSX) onto the tabs of Illustrator documents. If you drag it to the area of the open document, the script may not work correctly (Adobe bug).

Variant 3 — Use extensions

I recommend the Scripshon Trees or LAScripts panel. In it you can specify which folder your script files are stored in.

Variant 4 — Utilities

You can use them to create macros to run scripts with hotkeys.

SPAi (Mac OS, free)
Hammerspoon (Mac OS, free)
Keyboard Maestro (Mac OS, paid)
BetterTouchTool (Mac OS, paid)
AutoHotkey (Windows, free)

Warning

To run scripts via the F1-F15 hotkeys, users add them to the Actions panel. If another action is running inside the script, Illustrator will freeze. How do you check it? Open the script in a text editor, if you find app.doScript() in the code, it is using an action. This is in all versions from CS6 to CC 2025 on Mac and Windows.
