More than 100 art boards

Allow more than 100 art boards.

You have to request the feature here to get anywhere. Feature Request/Bug Report Form

Completely agree - and ability to auto resize the artboards to fit the content automatically instead of having to resize by hand - needs to be pixel perfect!

[chunter22]

Hi, the auto fit already exists. If you group your contents and then click on them using the artboard tool, it creates an artboard to the exact pixels.

999 artboard please!

I can think of no reason Adobe would limit the number of artboards in Illustrator, other than this is a deep-ingrained architectural limitation smacking of poor design.  Hard to imagine.  Honestly, who is going to need 80 artboards and never 120?  or 200? or 500?

Icons/button design is the obvious use case.

This is very un-Adobe-like

[Jose FL]

Please we need more than 100 artboards.

I've got an icon font and need more than 100 icons

This is so f* ridiculous and annoying i can't tell....shame on you adobe! I ve read a 2 year old thread where it says it's on your list and nothing happend??? unlimited artboards is a must....when the time is right i hope to shift to affinity designer...

I have since move on to Sketch. If you haven't tried it it's much better for UI design than illustrator is. FYI

[AxelHammarback]

Completely agree. This halts production insanely much and forcing me to use Sketch instead.

With the arrival of Adobe XD, this issue of limitless artboards and endless canvas becomes less important for majority of us designing UI and interactions. It permits limitless artboards, just as SketchApp. I read lots of people moving to Sketch. Instead, I have tried to move to Adobe XD. It still lacks lots of features, but I have a feeling that their team is continuously working on it and releasing updates. So, in combination with Illustrator, it is much more powerful than Sketch. Adobe XD has a prototyping solution too, so you do not need Invision or Marvel.

It would be nice to know what is the Adobe strategy on Adobe XD and Illustrator regarding Interaction Design.

6 years after the original post and still no solution? Year on year out we get all kinds of stupid new "features" but rarely any solutions to actual existing problems. Shame on you Adobe.

+1 !!!

Same problem here! I'm preparing a course for wich I need to use about 250 explanative cards. Keeping each in a single artboards would allow me to export them selectively much quicker.

Please increase the limit

[gregm79397554]

6 years and not even a comment from a community manager? Why is adobe the only software developer I know that 1st result google searches never yield solution but almost decade long undressed issues?

Just hit the artboard limit for the millionth time, I'm not doing rocket science here. I shouldn't have 6+documents for my companies deck, website and collateral icons. I own Sketch but but haven't been using it for icons as I rely heavily on the Shape Builder tool to move quickly in Illustrator.

Probably not going to use Adobe's Sketch rip off when it releases anyways, Sketch has support of a lot of community devs and their internal team is constantly integrating feedback. Step your game Adobe, be a big boy and put that subscription revenue to use.

Same here, this limit of artboard is really AWKWARD!

[Aaron Maz]

Has this been fixed yet?

[volodymyr.m]

No

Dear Illustrator, I have been a fan and devoted user for almost 20 years now. Bit by bit, your capabilities are being replaced by other software, so please concentrate on what you do best, enabling the creation of vector artwork. We need more than 100 artboards, please!

[PECourtejoie · Accepted solution]

Hello, all! I think that you will be happy to learn that the 100 artboards limit will soon be a thing of the past (alongside many artboards improvements): https://blogs.adobe.com/creativecloud/artboard-upgrades-coming-in-illustrator/

[gregm79397554]

Six years, this thread is like a little slice of adobe history.

[PECourtejoie]

There are many requests that have been made years ago for most software, we all want a lightweight, streamlined application that only does what we need... but almost every user's needs are different...

[gregm79397554]

Don't get me wrong, I think Adobe has been more active than ever in addressing issues with software with the addition of the Creative Cloud + Subscription model. I also am aware that Adobe is not purely a software company, there are many channels that require just as much time and investment (Stock, Ad Platform etc.)

'There are many requests that have been made years ago for most software, we all want a lightweight, streamlined application that only does what we need... but almost every user's needs are different...'

Artboards are not a niche feature that only some Illustrator designers choose to use, it is required to do anything at all within the software itself. All users need artboards, it probably shouldn't take 6 years to address if professionals are vocal about needing more.

THAT SAID the updates coming down the pipe for Illustrator go above and beyond in addressing this issue! The ability to generate a max of 1,000 artboards and to organize them will make my life much much easier and I am very happy about that. Thank you for linking it.

Now that this issue has been solved, I look forward to moving back Illustrator as my main design software.

[g_design360]

I find 100 totally frustrating! why so few in a world of endless possibilities

[gregm79397554]

Totally agree, but this will be solved in an upcoming patch as stated by PE above.
