Vectr was developed by a multi-national team whose aim was to create something streamlined and intuitive that would be simple to use for new designers as well as experienced ones. The app is designed to include the kinds of features and functionality most used and does not require a complex or lengthy learning process.
Some of the core features and functions of Vectr include:
- Ability to draw shapes
- Use paths
- Create text
- Resize and Rotate elements
- Add Filters, Backgrounds, Borders and Shadows
- Change Fonts
- Change Opacity
Vectr is backed by a robust community that helps it to continually develop the best product. Some recent improvements to the software have included a built-in marketplace within the app, performance optimization, and other useful features like rounded corners on shapes.
