## What it is
A collection of ExtendScript (JSX) scripts for Adobe Illustrator that automate common design tasks like resizing and rotating artboards, cropping overflow, sorting objects, and inserting SVG code. Scripts are installed into Illustrator's Scripts folder and run from the File > Scripts menu.

## Use cases
- resize artboards with all objects in illustrator
- rotate artboards 90 degrees with contents
- crop everything outside the artboard
- paste svg code from clipboard into illustrator
- sort and align many objects quickly
- automate repetitive illustrator tasks

## When to choose
- you use Adobe Illustrator and want free automation for artboard, cropping, or object-sorting tasks
- you need to insert inline SVG code into Illustrator on CC 2014+
- you prepare files for microstock or print and need to trim artboard overflow

## When to avoid
- you use a vector editor other than Adobe Illustrator
- you need a supported, actively developed plugin with vendor support
- you need Illustrator CC 2018+ SVG insertion, which is built in
