FAQ

Is Vectr free to use?

Yes — the core tool is free across web and desktop platforms.

Does Vectr offer an API?

Programmatic access is limited; Vectr focuses on the direct design experience.

How does Vectr compare to alternatives?

Versus Figma or Illustrator, Vectr is simpler and free for basic vector work; versus Penpot it is lighter and more beginner-oriented.

What can I realistically create with Vectr?

Simple logos, icons, presentations, wireframes and social graphics cover most non-designer needs; complex illustration is better served by professional tools.

How does real-time collaboration work?

Shareable links let teammates view and edit together live, which supports quick design feedback loops without exporting and emailing files.

The desktop app covers offline work, syncing when you reconnect to the web workspace for continuity across devices.

What export options exist?

SVG and PNG export cover web and print basics, with scalable vector output keeping quality intact at any size.

Is there a learning curve?

It is gentle — most users produce their first graphic within minutes, and the interface stays out of the way of the actual design.

Can I work with SVG files?

Is my work saved automatically?

Yes — designs autosave to your account as you edit, protecting work against accidental loss.
