How do I get out of outline mode in Illustrator?

Last updated on December 11, 2022 @ 7:01 am

If you find yourself regularly working in outline mode in Illustrator, there are a few quick steps you can take to get out of it.

First, make sure that the GPU Preview is checked in the Illustrator Preferences window. This can be found in the Illustrator menu bar by clicking the View button.

NOTE: You can also use the keyboard shortcut, “Ctrl+Y” to speed up the process.

Now, you’re back to the original mode of your design in Illustrator!

To get back to Outline Mode, just click on the “View” button again and select “Outline” from the options.

PRO TIP: If you are in outline mode in Illustrator, you may not be able to see your artwork. To get out of outline mode, go to the View menu and select GPU Preview or simply press “Ctrl+Y” on your keyboard.
