qCurving is a vector graphics editor for iPhone, iPad and Mac. Draw paths with the pen tool, fine-tune anchor points and handles right at your fingertips, and create logos, icons, diagrams and illustrations with precision, wherever you are. NO MORE TYPING NUMBERS TO RESIZE • Lock lengths to whole-number units while you drag, so rectangles, lines and polygons come out at round sizes right away • Set a polygon's radius or side length to an exact integer, and stop retyping values one by one to fix dimensions afterwards DRAW WITH PRECISION • Pen, pencil, line, rectangle, rounded rectangle, ellipse, polygon, star • Add, delete and convert anchor points; edit nodes and handles directly • Snap to points; move and rotate in set increments • Connectors between objects (snap to end points and centers; lines follow when shapes move) WORK WITH TYPE • Text panel: font, size, leading, tracking, horizontal and vertical scale, baseline shift • All caps, small caps, superscript, subscript, underline, strikethrough • Paragraph: left, center, right and justified alignment; left, right and first-line indents; space before and after • Convert text to outlines and edit it as paths BUILD SHAPES • Pathfinder (unite, intersect, minus front, exclude) • Outline stroke, offset path, round corners, reverse path direction • Align and distribute, compound paths, stacking order, flip • Layers (show/hide, lock, reorder, merge) • Fill and stroke (RGB / CMYK, width, caps, corners, dashes) • Numeric input for position, size, move, rotate and scale OPEN AND EXPORT • Open and edit SVG and PDF files (choose which pages to import from a multi-page PDF) • Export to SVG, PDF (millimeter units, CMYK supported), PNG / JPEG / BMP, and for the web • Default stroke width is 1 mm in PDF and 1 px in SVG, so dimensions are ready for print and technical drawing DESIGNED FOR EACH DEVICE • Mac: a desktop interface with a menu bar and keyboard shortcuts • iPhone and iPad: a "relative" mode that works like a trackpad, so your finger never hides what you're drawing • iPhone: a top bar fitted to the Dynamic Island and a collapsible bottom panel that leaves more room for your canvas • Connect an iPhone or iPad to an external display or AirPlay to get the desktop interface on the big screen, with a trackpad and shortcut display in your hands COLOR AND BLENDS • Gradient tool: drag on the canvas to set direction and range, and add, move or delete color stops directly • Blend tool: create any number of in-between shapes that interpolate shape, color and stroke width between two objects PAGES AND ALIGNMENT • Multiple artboards (exported as a multi-page PDF) and document tabs • Rulers and guides, unit-based alignment, and alignment to a key object PRIVACY No account required. All processing happens on your device; no data is collected or sent anywhere. GOOD TO KNOW • When opening a PDF, paths (fills and strokes) and colors are imported. Text, images, gradients and clipping are not imported yet. • Full compatibility with other vendors' software is not guaranteed. • CMYK and color handling are our own approximation; no ICC-profile color management is performed. On-screen colors may differ from printed results. Always check your printer's requirements and a proof before printing or submitting files. • Feedback and requests are welcome on the support page.
