02 / Highlights

Engineered for Professional Illustrators

01 / Familiar Workflow

The Workflow You Know

Pen, direct selection, shape booleans, snapping guides, and an appearance panel, laid out the way you expect from Illustrator.

02 / Ultra High FPS

Genuinely Fast

20,000 shapes render in about 27 ms at retina resolution, and the user interface runs at a silky smooth 120 fps.

03 / Robust Math

Booleans That Never Fail

Exact curve booleans mean no more 'cannot perform operation' dialogs. Unlimited undo means no more fear.

04 / Non-destructive

Live, Editable Effects

Blends, envelope distort, gradient mesh, live radial, grid and mirror repeats, glows and drop shadows — all live.

05 / Vectorizer

Clean Image Tracing

Turn raster images into clean vector paths with 12 tracing presets optimized for logos, sketches, and line art.

06 / Standard Files

Open Formats

Native JSON documents, SVG and PDF bidirectional import and export, PNG, JPEG, and WebP multi-density output.

03 / Developer Guide

Build VectorCraft from Source Code

Requires Rust 1.90+

New to Rust? Install the toolchain via rustup.rs. Then execute the following commands in your shell to build and run VectorCraft directly:

# Clone the official repository
git clone https://github.com/storytold/vectorcraft.git
cd vectorcraft

# Run VectorCraft desktop app in release mode
cargo run --release -p vectorcraft

# Run headless CLI tool for scripts & AI agents
cargo run --release -p vectorcraft-cli -- --help

Cross-App InteroperabilityAffinity 1, 2 & 3 Support

Open Affinity Designer & Adobe Illustrator Files Natively

Worried about subscription traps or Canva's acquisition of Affinity? VectorCraft natively opens and places Affinity documents (.af, .afdesign, .afpub, .afphoto from Affinity 1, 2, and 3) as well as Adobe Illustrator (.ai, PDF-compatible), SVG, PDF/X, EPS, and DXF files without conversion loss.

04 / Benchmark

VectorCraft vs. Adobe Illustrator

Metric	VectorCraft (Pure Rust)	Adobe Illustrator
License Cost	Free forever (Open Source)	$263.88 / year solo, $600+ in CC
Complex Paths Render	20k shapes in 27 ms (120 FPS)	Noticeable zoom & pan stutter
Boolean Operations	Exact mathematical curves, never fails	Occasional 'cannot perform operation'
Headless CLI / AI Agent	Native CLI + Model Context Protocol	Legacy ExtendScript / restricted UXP
WebAssembly Browser	Full app in browser tab (WASM)	Lightweight cloud web preview only

📊 Benchmark Methodology & Reproduction:

The 27 ms / 120 FPS frame metric was tested using 20,000 randomized bezier path primitives (100 anchor points each) in a 3024x1964 viewport using wgpu over Metal on an Apple M2 Max (32-core GPU) and over Vulkan on an AMD Ryzen 9 7950X / RTX 4090. Frame rasterization time off the main UI thread averages 27 ms.

# Reproduce locally with Rust:
