This is a collection of JS scripts for Adobe Illustrator. All scripts created by me, sometimes using parts of other authors’ code. The Github Gist contains the small scripts that are not included in the main collection.

The descriptions for each file can be found in the file’s header text. Test environment: Illustrator CS6, CC 2022, 2023 (Windows), CC 2018-2023 (Mac OS).

1. In the script description, click the "Direct Link" button.
2. The tab will open the script code.
3. Press Cmd/Ctrl + S for download.

1. Download archive and unzip. All scripts are in the folder jsx
2. Place <script_name>.jsx in the Illustrator Scripts folder:
   • OS X: /Applications/Adobe Illustrator [vers.]/Presets.localized/en_GB/Scripts
   • Windows (32 bit): C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Illustrator [vers.]\Presets\en_GB\Scripts\
   • Windows (64 bit): C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Illustrator [vers.] (64 Bit)\Presets\en_GB\Scripts\
   • RU lang: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Illustrator [версия]\Стили\ru_RU\Сценарии\
3. Restart Illustrator

Drag and drop the script file (JS or JSX) onto the tabs of Illustrator documents. If you drag it to the area of the open document, the script may not work correctly (Adobe bug).

I recommend the Scripshon Trees or LAScripts panel. In it you can specify which folder your script files are stored in.

Warning
To run scripts via the F1-F15 hotkeys, users add them to the Actions panel. If another action is running inside the script, Illustrator will freeze. How do you check it? Open the script in a text editor, if you find app.doScript() in the code, it is using an action. This is in all versions from CS6 to CC 2023 on Mac and Windows.

You can support my work on new scripts via Buymeacoffee, Tinkoff, ЮMoney, Donatty, DonatePay.
