Ai crashed but it did not make a recovery file

Hi, Ai crashed, but it didn't make a recovery file is it possible to recover the lost illustrations?

No. What's not there isn't there and all the tricks in the world can't conjure up a file from nothing.

Hello @Britt28285180lfpi,

Thanks for reaching out. As suggested by Mylenium, Illustrator's auto-recovery process gets initiated and opens up all the unsaved files with the Recovered suffix. If that did not happen, the file might not have been auto-saved and cannot be recovered. You may learn more about this here: https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/kb/recover-files-after-crash.html.

In the future, kindly try to save multiple backups to avoid such problems.

Feel free to reach out if you have more questions or need assistance. We'd be happy to help.

Thanks,

Anubhav
