## What is VectorPad?

VectorPad makes it easy for you to turn your designs into Vector Graphics and 3D extrusions, be it sketches on paper, or drawings made in an illustration app. 

Convert to Vector Graphics
Capture an image of your sketch, pick an image file from the Cloud or just drop an image into Vectorpad, and it creates a scalable vector artwork for your illustration in no time at all. 

Export Anywhere
VectorPad allows you to convert your graphics into multiple file formats - SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics), PDF, DXF (Drawing Exchange Format for CAD software) and Swift code with native graphics in seconds. 

It’s your go to tool for creating Vector Illustrations, Logos, Animation Assets, Game Assets, UI Assets, Architectural Blueprints and much more.

Create 3D Graphics
VectorPad also lets you generate 3D Extrusions from your sketches or image files. It makes it easy for you to generate 3D graphics, which can be used in professional 3D editing software, for Rapid Prototyping, and as Three Dimensional Assets in your next iOS Game. You can also edit the 3D object to change its size and materials that are physically rendered and offer a real and authentic outlook to your 3D Drawing.

3D Printing has never been easier
You can use VectorPad to export your object into a STL file, which could be sent to a 3D printer to print real objects.

View in AR
Want to see how your creation looks like in a real world. VectorPad offers an option to view your 3D Objects in Augmented Reality. VectorPad’s advanced augmented reality viewer leverages ARKit 2 to offer realistic renders with real time environment maps, shadows and lighting. 

View and Export other 3D Files
You can even pick a previously generated 3D object and export it in a different format of your choice.

Industry Standard Export Options
You can export your 3D Graphics into industry standard formats like DAE (widely used in 3D Editing software), STL (for 3D Printing) and SCN (SceneKit document).

—
Export options in VectorPad can be unlocked by subscribing to VectorPad+ at a recurring monthly fee.
 
VectorPad+ is offered in two options:
1. VectorPad+ 2D Access: Allows users to unlock all export options for two dimensional vector graphics. VectorPad+ 2D is available at $2.99 per month with a 7 day free trial.

2. VectorPad+ All Access: Unlocks all export options for both two dimensional vector graphics, and three dimensional extrusions.  VectorPad+ All Access is available at $4.99 per month with a 7 day free trial.

Please Note:
VectorPad+ is charged to your iTunes Account at confirmation of purchase. It will renew on the day before the current subscription period ends. You can cancel auto renewal any time from the settings screen.

You can switch between the two subscription options after you pick one, but your trial period will end immediately if you do, so it’s best to wait till your free week is over before changing.

Subscription automatically renews unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your account will be charged for renewal within 24 hours prior to the end of the current period. Subscriptions may be managed by the user and auto renewal may be turned off by going to the settings after the purchase. Any used portion of a free trial period, if offered will be forfeited when the user purchases a subscription to that publication, where applicable.

You can read the terms of use at: squircleapps.com/vectorpad/terms

At the moment VectorPad only supports monochromatic vectorisations. i.e. any image that you pick is first converted into its black and white representation and then vectorised. The darker areas form the vector graphic and the lighter areas are left out.

### 1/5 — Once a great little app - Now Borked 🥴

*2024-01-17*

This app was once perfect for rapidly completing a few specific & simple tasks. It removed the need to open up full desktop apps like Illustrator for vector work, & Cinema 4D or Fusion 360 for 3D extrusions.

I used it frequently & was a paid subscriber.

But I recently made the mistake of updating the app & 3D extrusion is now completely nonfunctional.

Back to the desktop we go!

*Will change review if issues are fixed. You were on to a great little app here at one point. Best of luck to you.

### 1/5 — Nul

*2023-06-10*

Très nul

### 1/5 — Waste of money

*2021-04-07*

Doesn’t save as a image file..crashes a lot . Why pay monthly just make it one flat price

### 1/5 — Nao funciona

*2020-03-01*

Nao consegui abrir uma imagem sequer .svg

### 2/5 — Crash all time

*2020-01-07*

The app could be nice if it doesn't crash all the time. Also I can't find any help section

### 1/5 — Don't waste your time

*2019-10-05*

It will vector but 3d option will force close app. If the art it too detailed it will distort image so bad. Don't waste your time downloading, it's free but to save in formats to use.... You'll have to pay.

### 2/5 — Svg file format

*2019-08-19*

It’s a brilliant app but I just paid for access to more of the features however crashes every time I try to save a Vector file onto my iPhone x

### 5/5 — Parfaite application pour vectoriser une image

*2019-08-04*

Fonctionne parfaitement.

### 1/5 — Saving SVG doesn’t work

*2019-06-03*

The app will always crash if you try and export to a SVG file. Plus you have to pay monthly to do so.

**Developer response:** Hi! The latest update of the app should fix the export issue.
