I downloaded a couple of AI brushes from Adobe stock and I can't seem to figure out how to install them or use them. Please help

Correct answer Doug A Roberts

are you asking where Adobe Stock puts files once you download them? as far as i can tell it just puts things in whatever your default downloads folder is.


incidentally, i just downloaded a random brush set as a test, and it wasn't an actual brush library, just a set of objects in an illustrator file. if that's what you have, you'd need to build a library from them by dragging them to the brush palette and then saving it as a library.

open them (if they're actually a brush library) from the brushes palette menu > Open brush library

if they're not, open them in AI and see what you actually have.

I can't see any files from my creative cloud, how do I find those files? And thanks so much for your fast response

Thanks so much, I just added a new watercolor brush library with your help worked perfectly!


You can also open the .ai file that contains the brushes from the Brushes Panel > Other Library.

The .ai file will open as a brush library.
