Free vector graphics maker

Vectornator is a free graphic design software that allows you to easily create vector graphics no matter their complexity. Developed by Linearity GmbH, Vectornator is a powerful design software that features various graphic tools meant for vector-making. It’s a convenient application that can be used on both computers and mobile devices, allowing you to work on your vector graphics wherever you may be. Plus, it even offers free icons you can use on your projects. Vectornator is highly efficient for a graphic design app despite its absurdly-low price.

Groovy vectors

Vector graphics are digital images that are created by 2D points connected by lines and curves to form polygons and other shapes. Vector graphics are pretty different from raster graphics, in which raster has pixels while vector has smooth paths. This is why you’ll often find vector graphics being used for formal and artsy logos, as its resolutions come out better and it’s ideal for printing. 

It’s not too hard to draw vector graphics but not a lot of graphic design programs are optimized for it so fans of the digital art style can’t always be appeased with what’s out on the market. Fortunately, Vectornator was made just for this reason. This program is specifically for vector graphic design and hosts a variety of useful tools you will benefit from. 

Its main arsenal is the Pen Tool, which you can use to create precise paths and anchor points for your design. Vectornator surprisingly allows you to alter all tool properties with its sliders—even after you already placed a path in the correct position. You can go in-depth with the details and tweak the corner radius of any point. You can also fully control your typography, create artboards, and even auto-trace images. This is a truly versatile program for this specific digital art style—and adds more fantastic features in its pro version.
