What is Akrivi ?
Designers often spend hours on the "admin" side of branding—meticulously drawing gridlines, aligning bento boxes for presentations, and drafting repetitive brand guidelines. Akrivi is a suite of Adobe Illustrator plugins designed to automate these technical workflows, allowing you to produce flawless, mathematically precise brand identities in a fraction of the time.
Trusted by over 30,000 designers, Akrivi transforms Illustrator from a manual drawing tool into a high-speed production engine for professional brand identity systems.
Key Features
- 📐 Gridit: One-Click Logo Construction Generate pixel-perfect base grids—including square, isometric, hex, and golden ratio—instantly. Beyond the base, it reveals anchors, handles, and circular trajectories to help you identify alignment errors and refine curves with mathematical precision.
- 🍱 Presenta: Dynamic Bento Presentations Skip the static templates and build "scroll-stopping" brand presentations using automated bento grids. You can shuffle layouts, adjust gutter spacing and corner radiuses with live sliders, and auto-fit images into boxes without manual resizing.
- 📋 Guideit: Automated Brand Guidelines Currently in development, this tool aims to eliminate the tedium of manual handoffs. By uploading your core assets, it generates structured brand guides, including logo usage rules (the "Do’s and Don’ts") and color specifications, in seconds rather than days.
- 🎯 Clearspace & Alignment Tools Ensure your logo remains legible across all applications by automatically generating exclusion zones and spacing rules. These tools help you maintain visual integrity and deliver pixel-perfect guidelines to clients.
Use Cases
- Refining Geometric Logos: After sketching a concept, use Gridit to overlay a golden ratio or isometric grid. This allows you to snap your vectors to a proven mathematical structure, ensuring the final mark feels balanced and professional.
- High-Stakes Client Pitches: Use Presenta to quickly assemble a diverse range of mockups and logo variations into a modern bento-style layout. The live preview sliders let you fine-tune the presentation's "vibe" right in front of the client or just before a deadline.
- Professional Project Handoffs: Use the automated construction grids to show clients the "math" behind your design. Displaying the anchors, handles, and trajectories proves the technical quality of your work, justifying higher project rates.
Why Choose Akrivi?
Akrivi is built specifically for designers who want to move away from "eyeballing" their work and toward a more systematic, profitable workflow.
- Measurable Efficiency: The suite is designed to make the technical side of branding up to 100x faster. Tasks that typically take an afternoon, like building a complex construction grid, are reduced to a single click.
- Error Elimination: By instantly revealing hidden vector components like handles and anchors, Akrivi helps you catch spacing issues and shape inconsistencies that are often invisible to the naked eye but noticeable in high-resolution printing.
- Increased Perceived Value: Polished presentations and precise construction grids don't just look better; they build client trust. Designers using these tools often report the ability to charge more for their packages because the deliverables look significantly more "engineered" and professional.
Conclusion
Akrivi bridges the gap between creative intuition and technical execution. By automating the repetitive, precision-heavy tasks of brand identity design, it frees you to focus on the high-level strategy and creative concepts that truly move the needle for your clients. Whether you are building a solo logo or a comprehensive brand system, Akrivi ensures your output is consistent, accurate, and ready for the highest level of professional scrutiny.
