The Periodic Table of the Elements in Adobe Illustrator Format

by Brian D'Alessandro

I needed the Periodic Table in vector format, so I decided to just draw one myself. If anyone else needs it as well, here is the Periodic Table of the Elements in Adobe Illustrator format.

Download Periodic Table as .AI (1.1 MB)

My source for the data was from the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC), 2007 (https://old.iupac.org/reports/periodic_table/).

If you want to change the font, color, or size of all element properties at once, I have tagged each object type with its own Attribute Note (element_name, atomic_number, element_symbol, atomic_mass, box). For information on how to select objects with the same attribute note, please see my previous post on that topic: How to select the same sub-objects in multiple copies of a group in Adobe Illustrator

    Thank you!! I'm planning a science-themed party for my almost-five-year-old and was about to recreate the periodic table in Illustrator so we could have a "Find the Element" scavenger hunt. You've saved me loads of time!!

    This is super helpful. I isolated the text and changed it to a different color and overlaid it on mine and my student's desktops so the elements are always there. Thanks a ton!

    thanks for the template! Students are designing a 4'x6' Periodic Table with images for each element and your template just expedited the process.

    Thanks!
