AI6 is an older version of the Adobe Illustrator file format, specifically referring to files saved in Illustrator 6.0. These files are vector-based and widely used for graphic design, logos, and illustrations. AIT stands for Adobe Illustrator Template. It is a template file format used to create new Illustrator documents with predefined settings, layouts, and design elements, streamlining the design process.
