We've made installing PowerScripts much easier on Windows and Mac. There's no separate installer app to download any more: just download one small file, drop it onto Illustrator, and PowerScripts installs itself in about a minute.

Easy install One file, dropped onto Illustrator. No installer app, no administrator rights.
Always up to date PowerScripts updates itself and tells you when a new version is ready.
Never interrupted Earlier versions are kept, so you can switch back at any time and keep working.

  6. See an empty PowerScripts panel? Close it

    If you used PowerScripts 3.7 before, its panel may still be docked in your workspace. It's turned off now, so it stays empty. Close that panel (or drag it out and close it), then open the new one from Window › Extensions › PowerScripts 2026 Loader.

Upgrading from PowerScripts 3.7? Your licence, scripts and settings carry over - nothing to deactivate or uninstall first. The installer turns the old PowerScripts panel off for you (you can turn it back on from the installer's Tools tab). An empty PowerScripts panel left in your workspace is the old one: see step 6.
