Astute Graphics Reviews 533

This has been my go to plugin for illustrator. many style add-ons and tools to fix vectors quickly.
Mainly use this for screen print tools and halftones. but also the font finder and other tools help my workflow speed up.

Love the reduce file size function. We use SVGs and need to keep the file size down for publication purposes.

It couldn’t have been any easier!

I am great full for well deserved tools which helps lots on my artworks. Thank you.

I love your tools! Thank you!

Plugin is useful, all the other crap is annoying. The login/auth system is regularly problematic. Does not need occupy a space in the finder bar, it is just a plugin. Should not have ads in an app that I am paying for.

I am extremely satisfied. It's a tool that I can't imagine working without anymore. And if one license covered both Adobe licenses, the rating would be 10+

Now that I'm back on some heavy graphics projects, I thought I should contribute a review of the Astute Graphics plugins.

I'm not sure what impresses me the most -- their incredible software, which integrates deeply into Illustrator and adds features I cannot live without, or their incredible support, which includes the founder and the top developers and the people who write the documentation. Everything about their plugins and the company has been improving RELENTLESSLY for years and years. As a designer, I'm really impressed. As a former developer, I'm really impressed.

This probably sounds like ridiculous hyperbole, but I've been a heavy user of personal computers since CP/M days, and I very rarely come across a company as fun and friendly AND competent and thorough. These plugins are amazingly well conceived, robustly programmed, and beautifully presented. Now that the whole company has dived deep into multiple approaches to documentation, even that is becoming some of the best docs in the industry.

If you don't believe me, write to their CEO on Slack or Facebook or wherever, and he'll explain how and why Astute has become such a smashing success. And he'll make you laugh.

Illustrator is just.. ill.. without the AG tools.
I know of no other graphics design company that is as much on the pulse of what Graphics professionals need and want as Astute Graphics. Their recent push to document *all* their plugins online again shows their commitment to being thorough and user friendly.

Astute Graphics plugins are worth every penny... tenfold! The efficiency these tools bring to my workflow, with everything at my fingertips, saves countless laborious hours I used to spend creating effects and styles from scratch. I truly appreciate the continuous improvement, and extension of these tools, which add significant value to my subscription.

Astute Graphics makes plugins for Adobe Illustrator and once you used them you wonder how you could work without them. Their plugins bring so much efficiency to your workflow and enhance Illustrator in ways that are beneficial to all kinds of design or illustrations scenarios.

Excellent Tools, simple to use.

My annual subscription renewed without hassle. Appreciate the fact that this set of tools is constantly refined, improved and extended. Adds value to your subscription.

Designing book layouts, book covers, and magazines

After 3 years of using Astute Graphics plugins, I can't conceive of a faster workflow in what I do (product design).

I love the tools Astute Graphics provides. It is much quicker to create graphics and clean up vector graphics. I use most of the tools regularly and my design process is more streamlined.

Great tools for creativity and a huge time savers!

Astute Graphics tools will save you a LOT of time. When you give them a try, you come to realize how a native tools should have functioned.
