Adobe FreeHand是一款平面矢量绘图（vector graphics）软件，同时支持Mac OS及MS Windows平台，深受专业排版及设计工作者的喜爱。

FreeHand由Altsys公司开发（Fontographer是它的另一杰作），早期均授权予Aldus公司以Aldus FreeHand名义发行，与当时的同类软件Adobe Illustrator竞争剧烈。

当1994年，Adobe收购Aldus的时候，因为FreeHand与Illustrator市场的重叠，Altsys反对将该软件并入Adobe的版图，认为会扼杀了它的前途；在一连串法律及联邦贸易处的介入后，FreeHand重归Altsys手中，再由Macromedia购入，发行了5.0，5.5，7，8，9，10和11/MX版。但讽刺的是，Adobe于2005年底并购了Macromedia，FreeHand终变成Adobe的资产。

Adobe FreeHand (formerly Macromedia Freehand) is a computer application for creating two-dimensional vector graphics that are oriented primarily to professional illustration, desktop publishing and content creation for the Web. FreeHand is similar in scope, intended market, and functionality to Adobe Illustrator, CorelDraw and Xara Designer Pro. Because of FreeHand’s dedicated page layout and text control features, it also compares to Adobe InDesign and QuarkXPress. Professions using FreeHand include Graphic Design, Illustration, Cartography, Fashion and Textile Design, Product Design, Architects, Science Research, and Multimedia Production.
