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.

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.
