Looking for a plugin / extension to save your time?

Specees helps you to specify multiple objects' measurements, dimensions, and styles in your Adobe Illustrator (AI) documents. It saves you time when you hand over your work to your colleagues or developers from other teams. Tired of doing measuring and dimensioning for hours, or even days? Now you can make it in minutes!

All done in a few clicks and tweaks

All done in a few clicks and tweaks

Unlike others plugins / extensions, Specees not just let you specify multiple objects' measurements, dimensions and styles for Adobe Illustrator at once, but also present them in a clean and organized way. When multiple objects are selected, Specees will spread overlapped dimensions over multi- levels. And for style specification, objects with the same properties will be grouped together to make a clean look for your document.

Works with a range of compositions

From web and mobile app layout to printed poster and spreads, you can use Specees to make a nice and neat specification of dimensions and styles to help to communicate with your colleagues or external vendors!

Using scale & variable in dimension

Using scale & variable in dimensions

You can set scale when you specify dimensions. In addition, you can use a variable to present your dimensions. This would be very useful in specifying column width in a web layout or preparing documentation in a visual identity project.

Why Specees?

Just a piece of cake
