VectorPaint is a vector drawing and SVG editing app for iPhone and iPad. Create illustrations, design logos, draw icons and compose posters with editable paths, shapes and text. Draw freely, refine precisely Use the pen, freehand and shape tools to build your artwork. Edit Bézier nodes, curves and outlines, then arrange objects with alignment, distribution, grids and guides. Zoom into your canvas to refine the details. Bring layers, color and type together Organize artwork with layers and groups. Adjust opacity, fills, strokes and gradients, use masks to control what appears, and place text along a path. Combine lettering and graphics for logos, illustrations and layouts. Trace images into editable paths Import an image as a reference or generate a vector tracing preview before applying it. Tracing works best with logos, line art and flat-color images. Photos are quantized to your chosen number of colors, so results depend on the source image. Export for your next step Import SVG, VectorPaint, Inkpad and common image files. Export SVG, PDF and PNG, or keep an editable VectorPaint document. PNG supports transparent backgrounds. SVG and PDF may include bitmap elements from your artwork; export does not automatically turn every object into vectors. A local workspace for your artwork Drawing and artwork management use local files and work offline. Keep projects organized with groups, tags and favorites. Use undo, redo, versions, recently deleted artwork and backups to manage your creative process. For anyone looking for vector illustration, SVG editing, logo creation and graphic artwork on iPhone or iPad, VectorPaint brings paths, layers, color and typography into one workspace.

Read full description

LineForge is a local-first vector drawing app for creators who need a clean way to sketch scalable artwork and export usable files without a cloud workspace or design-suite subscription. Use it for lightweight vector work: - Create and edit a local drawing from the gallery - Draw rectangles, ellipses, triangles, lines, and pen paths - Select, move, scale, rotate, duplicate, and delete objects - Edit basic path points and handles - Adjust fill, stroke, opacity, and arrangement - Combine closed shapes with boolean operations after unlocking - Export PNG previews, or unlock SVG, PDF, and high-resolution PNG LineForge is not a template marketplace, AI image converter, team collaboration tool, or full desktop design suite. It does not import SVG/PDF files, run cloud sync, offer stock assets, or require an account. The goal is a smaller, focused drawing workflow with reliable local documents and clean export. Your projects are stored locally on your device and exported through the iOS Share Sheet or Files workflow. The Lifetime Unlock adds multi-project saving, SVG export, PDF export, high-resolution PNG export, and complete boolean operations. No subscription, no ads.
