: Generate/Extract for Illustrator? Is there a way (plugin, add-on, etc) to export assets from Illustrator the way one does with Photoshop Generate? I'm finding myself spending a lot of time meticulously

What about this little plugin? www.kodlian.com/apps/magic-exporter

I found the Smart Layers Export script a lifesaver. You can export specific layers/artboards to multiple formats at once, svg included, and export at different sizes (@2x, etc).

Using Adobe CC I design assets in illustrator then export to Photoshop via my Adobe Creative Cloud libraries. Photoshop is hands down way better than Sketch3 to export files, particularly when file size matters.

1 - Design in illustrator on a pixel grid and every asset on a separate layer

2 - I select the asset using its layer

3 - I use my Adobe CC library to export the asset Library Panel / Add Graphic [button] and give an appropriate name to my asset (ex.: AssetName@1x.png) that reflect my final export format

4 - I create a document in photoshop and drop all the asset I saved in my library. Each asset will show as a layer with the name I gave it.

5 - Select the layers to export then Layer Panel / Export As. The layer name suffix automatically selects the format.

You can use Slices in Illustrator to export images using Save For Web.



I’d advise against using Illustrator to export image assets. It has many issues, like non-dithered gradients, worse shape antialiasing than Photoshop (and other apps), and other problems.
