What is Rasterino?
Rasterino is an Adobe Illustrator plugin that handles raster image editing directly within your vector design workspace. It lets you resize, rotate, and apply effects to raster images without switching to separate software. The tool supports common image formats including PSD, JPG, PNG, and TIFF files, making it useful for designers who work with mixed vector and raster content. Rather than export images to edit them elsewhere, you can make adjustments on the spot within Illustrator, which saves time in your design workflow.
