FAQ
Q: Which versions of Illustrator does this work with?
A: Works with Adobe Illustrator CC 2019 and newer (Mac & Windows).
Q: Does it support gradients, strokes, or effects?
A: The script detects solid fill colors only. Gradients and effects are ignored for accuracy.
Q: Will it overwrite my existing swatches?
A: No — the script creates a new “Color Palette” layer with labeled blocks. Your swatches remain untouched.
Installation
Place the script (.jsx file) in Illustrator’s Scripts folder → restart Illustrator → run via File > Scripts.
Troubleshooting
- “No colors found” message → Make sure you’ve selected shapes with solid fills (not gradients, strokes, or images).
- Fonts missing (Inter Regular) → The script defaults to Inter; if not installed, it will automatically fall back to Arial.
-
Script doesn’t run → Double-check you’re using Adobe Illustrator CC 2019 or newer. Place the
.jsxfile in your IllustratorScriptsfolder, then restart Illustrator. -
Colors look slightly different → Illustrator converts all fills to RGB/CMYK values for consistency.
