Discover the incredible potential of Text to Vector Graphic (Beta) in Adobe Illustrator. This groundbreaking feature, powered by Adobe Firefly, Adobe's family of creative, generative AI models, empowers you to craft stunning vector graphics with ease.

Various Options to Generate Artwork with Text to Vector Graphic (Beta) Subject: This option creates a standalone vector element, free from a background. Use it to enhance your existing artwork or craft scenes from scratch. Scene: Choose this to generate complete vector scenes, effortlessly bringing your creative visions to life. Icon: Create streamlined vector elements without backgrounds. Perfect for designing icons with simplicity and elegance. Pattern: Unlock the ability to generate scalable and customizable patterns, adding depth and dimension to your designs.

Customize & Fine-Tune Output Details Text to Vector Graphic (Beta) automatically harmonizes the output style with the active artboard. If you desire a different style, easily deactivate the "Match active artboard style" option. Refine your artwork even further, effortlessly modifying both style and level of detail within the output with ease. Select a style from an existing vector or image using the Style Picker. Further, explore the "Settings" to adjust the level of detail in your output and achieve customization excellence.

Craft Brand-Ready Patterns Effortlessly Experience the power of Text to Vector Graphic (Beta) as it enables you to rapidly generate patterns using everyday language. These patterns can be seamlessly integrated into your brand system. With this feature, you have the flexibility to incorporate up to 5 brand colors or select a preset that resonates with your preferences. Furthermore, you can precisely control the color palette of your pattern, limiting it to a maximum of 30 colors.    Your brand's visual identity, simplified and perfected.

Enhance & Customize Generated Patterns When it comes to editing generated patterns, you have two convenient options: Click the three dots on the generated pattern, then select "Edit Pattern" from the dropdown menu. Alternatively, double-click any pattern swatch in the Swatches panel (located under Window > Swatches). This will open the Pattern Options dialog, allowing you to meticulously fine-tune all settings to your liking.

Elevate Realism in Your Artwork Achieving a lifelike quality in your artwork is made effortless through the utilization of blending options available within the Transparency panel. These options enable you to seamlessly integrate intricate details from the raster image, including lighting effects, curves, and distortions. Precision is key when outlining your path using the pen tool to create a pattern. After generating your desired pattern, select your preferred variation and apply a blend mode, such as "Multiply," from the Transparency panel. The result? A stunningly realistic visual appeal in your artwork.

Manage and Preserve Generated Pattern Variations Effortlessly Apply and Archive Generated Variations Select the object or path of your choice and apply the generated pattern variations by double-clicking any of them. Alternatively, you can apply these patterns by clicking the three dots and selecting "Apply Pattern" from the dropdown menu. The patterns you apply are automatically stored in your Swatches panel for convenient access. However, if you wish to preserve an additional variation, you can click on the three dots and choose "Add to Swatches" from the dropdown menu. Furthermore, you have the flexibility to edit a pattern and save a copy directly within the Swatches panel. This way, the original remains untouched, and both versions are neatly preserved in your swatches collection. Need to tidy up your workspace? Easily delete unwanted variations by selecting the "Delete variation" from the dropdown menu. Your control, your creative journey.

Limitless Creativity, Three Variations at a Time Explore Infinite Possibilities! While your creative potential knows no bounds, Text to Vector Graphic (Beta) lets you generate a maximum of three variations simultaneously. Additionally, you can kickstart your creative process by using the "Sample Prompts" to inspire your designs.

Shape the Future with Your Feedback Discover, Improve, Innovate, and Influence! Discover More: Uncover additional insights and information by clicking the "Learn More" button, conveniently located at the bottom left corner of the Text to Vector Graphic (Beta) panel. Share Feedback: Your opinions matter. Rate the generated variations as a "Good Result" or a "Bad Result" by clicking on the three dots within the variation's dropdown menu. Report Variation: Promote a safer and more inclusive creative space. Report any problematic variations by clicking on the three dots in the dropdown. Be sure to specify if you encounter issues related to harm, legality, offensiveness, bias, trademarks, copyrights, etc. You can also choose to include the text prompt and generated image in your report or feedback.

the placement of it there in the properties panel by Adobe is quite aggressive and obnoxious.

[pauljohnc]

Has the Text To Vector (Beta) Generative AI section got anything to do with the Contextual Task Bar? Are they not two entirely different things?

[Anshul_Saini]

You are absolutely right, @pauljohnc. My apologies for any confusion. I initially meant to refer to "text to vector graphic (beta)," but the contextual taskbar feature was on my mind at that moment. I've clarified my previous response now. I appreciate your attention to detail.

Once again, thank you!

Best regards,

Anshul Saini

That link goes to the Beta app but Im not using that, Im using the latest stable release 28.0

[Anshul_Saini]

@pauljohnc I understand that you're experiencing an issue with a link that seems to direct you to the Beta app, even though you're using the latest stable release, which is version 28.0. It appears there might be a compatibility or version detection problem with the link. This can happen because the link is designed to open in the latest version of Illustrator, which can include both stable and pre-release or Beta versions.

I hope that clarifies!

Best,

Anshul Saini

by Beta app I meant Illustrator (Desktop) Beta forum.

Fear my complaint will be dismissed because its in the wrong forum.

being kind to the user in the first place would get kinder language

The location of the Text to Vector Graphic (Beta) in the Properties Panel is super invasive and should not go there or should at least have the option to move or disable. It also doesn't stay collapsed which is very annoying. This does not belong in the properties panel and forces everything lower and takes up valuable space and is a hinderence to my workflow.

I honestly can't believe Adobe put a beta feature directly into one of the most important panels and left us with no way to remove or move or disable it.

[Anshul_Saini]

Hi @ericc19576445 @pauljohnc @Manji312 ,

Hello 

I'm trying to use this incredible feature but I don't know why it is not working for me. I've tried a few simple prompts and waited like 5 min to get it but at the end it says "An error occurred". I already tried it in empty documents and it's the same problem. Has anyone had this problem or know what I can do? 

[Anshul_Saini]

Hi @gracielam74336989,

I'm sorry to hear you're experiencing issues with the new Text to Vector Graphics (beta). It's important to note that you're not alone in encountering this issue, as several other users have reported similar experiences.

I'm pleased to inform you that the issue has been addressed in our latest beta release, v28.1.62. This updated version is readily available on Creative Cloud Desktop (CCD) within the beta apps section.

Your input is valuable in helping us improve the product. Please follow this link to the UserVoice to share your experience after updating to v28.1.62. 

Best,

Anshul Saini

Thank you very much!

I really dislike this generative stuff. It is so upsetting seeing it take over my artistic tools. Makes me want to just throw my computer into the sea and maybe myself with it.

Hello, I activated this beta tool but want to turn the feature back off, how do I do that?

You cannot turn it off. There might be feature requests on Uservoice that you can. support, bu currectly this is only possible in Enterprise settings, where sys admins can turn off the connection.

[Allison Vander Ploeg]

@Monika Gause it would be nice to be able to turn the feature back off. Thanks for getting back to me.

[Monika Gause]

As I said: please make a feature request. This is the public forum. 95% of people aren't even staff. 

[Allison Vander Ploeg]

@Monika Gause I appreciate the tip about how to request the feature, I will do that. Thanks again!
