Sketch to Vector now in Illustrator Beta 30.4.0.159

Introducing Sketch to Vector, now available in Adobe Illustrator (Beta). It is a faster, more flexible way to convert sketches or images into usable vector or raster artwork directly in Illustrator. Refine a sketch, turn it into an illustration or reimagine any image using just a prompt. Use the creativity slider to control how closely the output matches the original image.

Unleash your creativity using any raster image. Start with a sketch, scan, photo, or similar input, and generate artwork based on your intent. We encourage you to test this feature across a range of scenarios and workflows. Some identified use cases are listed below, but the possibilities are endless.

• Sketch refinement: Turn rough sketches into more refined outputs
• Sketch to illustration: Convert rough sketches into filled artwork
• Photo to vector: Transform photos into stylized vector illustrations with more personalized results and the ability to explore different styles
• Sketch to photo: Generate photo-like outputs from simple sketches

How to use:

1. Select a sketch or image as input.
2. Open Sketch to Vector from the supported entry points in Illustrator (Properties Panel, Right click menu, Contextual HUD, Object Menu --> Generative menu and Generative menu in the Toolbar).
3. Describe actions or refinements using the prompt and adjusting the settings. Available model options include GPT, GPT 1.5, Gemini 2.5 and Gemini 3.
4. Click on Generate.

Important points to note:

1. You must start with a raster image to use Sketch to Vector.
2. Sketch to Vector will use the original image as a reference even when used on a generated object (raster or vector).
3. Outputs are generated on top of the selected image, so your original image remains unaltered.
