Professional vector design, redefined. Unmatched features. Unrivaled control. Unrestricted creativity.
More than an alternative. VectorStyler is the evolution of the vector illustration application – designed for professionals who demand more.
VectorStyler is a vector graphics and illustration software created for design professionals. In vector graphics a design document consists of a hierarchy of layers and objects each with a shape and a set of styling attributes. The shape of objects can be modified at any time using the various shape types, and it can be converted to curves and edited directly. An object can have multiple style attributes (fill and outline), stacked on top of each other. These attributes can be freely modified on selected objects.
Illustrators and graphics artists can use VectorStyler to create screen or print designs, icons or user interface mockups, or complex vector illustrations and artworks.
