Ai2txt

Ai2txt is your indispensable assistant for Adobe Illustrator, focusing on fast and clean text processing. It allows you to instantly export all text content from your Illustrator files into XML or TXT formats and then just as easily import it back.

New in version 5.0: Ai2txt now supports direct export and import to/from XLIFF files — the industry standard for CAT (Computer-Assisted Translation) systems. This makes it even easier to integrate your Illustrator text workflows with professional translation tools.

We create it for automation: Ai2txt automatically handles locked layers, optimizes the document by removing empty text blocks and excess spaces, ensuring a clean file. A particularly valuable feature is its batch processing capability, which enables instant work with entire folders of AI, EPS, and SVG files, significantly saving time when preparing texts for translation or mass processing.

  • Multiple folders processing (AI, EPS, SVG)
  • Automatic handling of locked layers
