- Create and edit blends from a dedicated Blend panel — use Make , Expand , Release , Reverse Spine , and Replace Spine , adjust blend settings, and preview changes live on the canvas.
- Distribute blend steps using the Ease In and Ease Out presets with a strength slider to cluster objects toward the start, middle, or end of a blend.
- Control color acceleration independently from object spacing to create more natural color transitions.
- Generate artwork with Firefly directly from the New Document dialog using the new Generate with Firefly option. Access it from the homescreen or within the Illustrator workspace (unavailable in mainland China).
- Explore Firefly directly from the homescreen — generate vectors, create or edit images, and brainstorm ideas with Firefly Boards. Use the dedicated tabs to access Generate vectors , Prompt to edit , and Ideate with Boards (unavailable in mainland China).

- A GPU warning appears each time you open or create a file on some Windows systems.
- On Windows with per-monitor UI scaling, the Effects menu’s drop-down renders at a different size from the other menus.
- In the Color panel, holding Shift (or Ctrl ) to move the RGB sliders together has no effect when the color is white.
Fixed 18
- Illustrator has a severe input delay when editing text or objects, even in small files.
- Placed TIFF images appear with inverted colors.
- In Illustrator 30.1, the Libraries panel becomes unresponsive after Illustrator has been open for a while, and interacting with it can cause clicks to be misregistered or distort the panel's contents until you restart the application.
- Illustrator takes longer than expected to launch, especially on systems with many installed fonts or third-party plug-ins.
- Turning on Proof Colors with a Color Blindness proof setup and then zooming can disable GPU preview, which stays off until you restart Illustrator.
- The Libraries panel can stop responding and stretch or distort so that items are no longer selectable, and stays that way until you restart Illustrator.
- Illustrator gets progressively slower the longer it stays open.
- Expanding or outlining an Inside/Outside-aligned stroke produces barely-open paths and doubled anchor points, causing problems with corners and effects.
- Objects with a perceptual gradient and Dither turned off are fully rasterized on PDF export instead of being exported as a clipped raster, which produces blurry or jagged edges .
- The Harmony Rules selector in the Color Guide panel doesn't update based on the selected color.
- Switching the keyboard layout with a Win32 API message (WM_INPUTLANGCHANGEREQUEST) crashes or hangs Illustrator.
- Illustrator crashes and quits immediately after running the Print command .
- In a CMYK document, the default text color of a Swatches Info object is a rich RGB black instead of K100.
- In GPU preview mode, high-resolution bi-level (1-bit) embedded images display incorrectly.
- The Transform panel ignores Constrain Proportions when editing an artwork's width or height .
- Text colors defined in Character or Paragraph styles imported from another document are lost after the file is saved and reopened.
- Real-time drawing and editing render incorrectly for objects that have both a live effect and an opacity mask, and the mask no longer tracks the object as it moves.
- Running an Action from a script (doScript) selects both the original and the duplicated object, instead of just the expected one.
