VectorCraft

open-source vector graphics editor by ArtCraft, modelled on Illustrator

History Claim

VectorCraft is a free, open-source vector illustration program modelled on Adobe Illustrator, made by ArtCraft. It is written from scratch in Rust, runs natively on macOS, Windows, Linux and FreeBSD and in a browser through WebAssembly, and is described by ArtCraft as a clean-room reimplementation of Illustrator.

Features

  • Pen and direct-selection tools, shape booleans, snapping guides and an appearance panel laid out as in Illustrator.
  • Live, editable effects: blends, envelope distort, gradient mesh, radial, grid and mirror repeats, glows and drop shadows, and a perspective grid.
  • Image tracing with 12 presets.
  • Native JSON documents, SVG and PDF import and export, and PNG, JPEG and WebP output.

History and availability

VectorCraft was first released on 2 October 2026 as one of the seven original Crafting Apps and is marked as in development. Ars Technica, PetaPixel and TechSpot covered it as ArtCraft's take on Illustrator. It is released under the MIT or Apache-2.0 licence; official builds are on its page at getartcraft.com, in the storytold/vectorcraft releases on GitHub and through the ArtCraft Launcher.
