Vectornator 4.1

Vectornator is intended to design vector graphics, including illustrations, interface mockups and layouts.

Therefore, it comes in handy for different types of professionals, such as designers, illustrators and artists, which does not mean it cannot be used by anyone who loves drawing. The tool supports importing and exporting a wide range of file formats, including (AI*, PDF*, Sketch, Figma, SVG, PNG and JPG), which allows sharing your work with users of other popular applications.

Vectornator has a carefully designed interface. Likewise, its layout may feel familiar to many users, as there is the usual large canvas in the center, the toolbar on the left and the properties pane on the right. So, if you have used drawing applications before, it is quite likely that you can start using this one from the start. However, it is good to know there is help documentation and even some tutorials available.

Like many other similar applications, Vectornator’s toolbox includes the pen tool, shapes, brushes and eraser. Similarly, it is excellent that it supports working with layers. Moreover, your objects can be easily aligned, grouped, masked, ordered, scaled, rotated or cloned. Fortunately, it also comes with various tools that allow working with vectors, which include Corner Radius, Boolean as well as combining, separating and outlining paths. Finally, you can have great control over the text you insert, thanks to the possibility to use accurate measures, import font types, outline text and place it on a path.

There are other features that deserve special attention. For instance, there is Auto Trace, which can convert bitmaps into vector images. Likewise, the tool allows searching the Iconator library to download icons as vectors.

Finally, when you finish your work, in addition to saving it to one of the formats mentioned above, it is also allowed to export it to any of various social media sites. In this regard, it is excellent that there are built-in templates to make your work easier.

Although the application works just as described by its developers, there may be some occasional problems, including crashes, which means that there may still be some bugs to fix.

In short, Vectornator is an excellent choice for anyone involved in graphic design. One of its main advantages is that is absolutely free to use, compared with other similar products, which are usually very expensive. In this sense, you may be also interested in exploring its Pro version, which comes with some additional features.
