Illustrator imports over two dozen formats, including PSD, PDF and SVG, and exports AI, PDF, SVG, SVGZ, GIF, JPG, PNG, WBMP, and SWF. The ai file format is proprietary, but some vector editors can open and save in that format. It is primarily developed consistently in line with other Adobe products and such is best integrated with Adobe's Creative Suite packages.

Adobe Illustrator is a commonly-used editor because of Adobe's market dominance, but is more expensive than other similar products.

For macOS, Affinity Designer is able to open version 10 & MX Freehand files.

FreeHand continues to run on Mac OS X Snow Leopard (using an Adobe fix) and on Windows 7. On May 16, 2007, Adobe announced that no further updates to Freehand would be developed but continues to sell FreeHand MX as a Macromedia product. FreeHand was transferred to the classic print group after Macromedia was purchased by Adobe in 2005. When being marketed, FreeHand lacked the promotional backing, development and PR support in comparison to other similar products. User-operation is considered to be more suited for designers with an artistic background compared to designers with a technical background. Specific functions of FreeHand include a superior image-tracing operation for vector editing, page layout features within multiple-page documents, and embedding custom print-settings (such as variable halftone-screen specifications within a single graphic, etc.) to each document independent of auxiliary printer-drivers. The functionality of FreeHand includes flexibility of the application in the wide design environment, catering to the output needs of both traditional image reproduction methods and to contemporary print and digital media with its page-layout capabilities and text attribute controls.

Flash uses Actionscript for OOP, and has full XML functionality through E4X support. The most important of these tools are vector lines and fills with bitmap-like selectable areas, simple modification of curves via the 'selection' or the control points/handles through 'direct selection' tools.

Adobe Flash (formerly a Macromedia product) has straightforward vector editing tools that make it easier for designers and illustrators to use.

On May 6, 2013, Adobe announced that Fireworks would be phased out. Some support for exporting to SVG is available via a free Export extension. Fireworks can also open FWPNG/PNG, PSD, AI, EPS, JPG, GIF, BMP, TIFF file formats, and save/export to FWPNG/PNG, PSD, AI (v.8), FXG (v.2.0), JPG, GIF, PDF, SWF and some others. Fireworks can manage the PSD and AI file formats which enables it to be integrated with other Adobe apps. The Fireworks editable PNG file format is not supported by other Adobe products. It is easier to learn than other products and can produce complex vector artwork. Adobe Fireworks has a competitive price, but its features can seem limited in comparison with other products. The native Fireworks file format is editable PNG (FWPNG or PNG). This means it is mostly used for screen design.

Fireworks supports RGB color scheme and has no CMYK support.
