Adobe Illustrator - Vector Based Imaging.

Illustrator provides the following tools for reshaping objects:



The Rotate tool (R) rotates objects around a fixed point. See Rotate objects.



The Reflect tool (O) flips objects over a fixed axis. SeeReflect or flip objects.



The Scale tool (S) resizes objects around a fixed point. See Scale objects.



The Shear tool skews objects around a fixed point. See Shear objects with the Shear tool .



The Reshape tool adjusts selected anchor points while keeping the overall detail of the path intact. See Stretch parts of a path without distorting its overall shape.



The Free Transform tool (E) scales, rotates, or skews a selection.



The Blend tool (W) creates a series of objects blended between the color and shape of multiple objects. SeeCreate blends.



The Width tool (Shift+W) allows you to create a stroke with variable width. SeeUsing the Width tool.



The Warp tool (Shift+R) molds objects with the movement of the cursor (like molding clay, for example). See Distort objects using a liquify tool.



The Twirl tool creates swirling distortions within an object. SeeDistort objects using a liquify tool.



The Pucker tool deflates an object by moving control points towards the cursor. See Distort objects using a liquify tool.



The Bloat tool inflates an object by moving control points away from the cursor. SeeDistort objects using a liquify tool.



The Scallop tool adds random curved details to the outline of an object. SeeDistort objects using a liquify tool.



The Crystallize tool adds random spiked details to the outline of an object. See Distort objects using a liquify tool.



The Wrinkle tool adds wrinkle-like details to the outline of an object. SeeDistort objects using a liquify tool.



The Shape Builder tool merges simple shapes to create custom, complex shapes. See Building new shapes using the Shape Builder tool.
