Frequently Asked Questions
What are vector graphics?
Vector graphics use mathematical equations to define points, lines, and curves. Unlike raster graphics (like JPEGs or PNGs), they can be scaled infinitely without losing quality or becoming pixelated, making them ideal for logos, illustrations, and designs that need to be used at various sizes.
What is SVG?
SVG stands for Scalable Vector Graphics. It's an XML-based file format for describing two-dimensional vector graphics. SVG files are widely supported on the web and can be easily edited and animated.
Do I need to install anything to use Vector Ink?
No! Vector Ink is a cloud-based web application. You can access it directly through your web browser on any compatible device (desktop, tablet, mobile) without needing to install any software.
Can I import existing files?
Yes, Vector Ink supports importing various file formats, including SVG, PNG, and JPG. You can bring your existing work into the editor to continue working or use raster images as a base for vectorization.
What export options are available?
You can export your designs in several formats, including SVG (ideal for web and scalability), PNG (with transparent background options, great for web and print), and JPG.
Is Vector Ink suitable for beginners?
Absolutely! While Vector Ink offers powerful tools for professionals, its intuitive interface and helpful guides make it accessible for beginners looking to learn vector design.
How does the AI generator work?
Our AI generator allows you to create vector graphics from text prompts. Describe what you want (e.g., "a cute cartoon cat logo," "a set of simple UI icons"), choose a style, and the AI will generate editable vector results to get you started.
Can I use the icons and graphics I create for commercial projects?
Yes, graphics you create yourself in Vector Ink, including those generated with AI features or using icons from our library, can be used for commercial purposes.
Does Vector Ink work offline?
Vector Ink is primarily a cloud-based application and requires an internet connection for full functionality, including saving, syncing, and accessing cloud features like the icon library and AI tools.
What devices are supported?
Vector Ink is designed to work seamlessly across modern web browsers on desktops (Windows, macOS, Linux), tablets (iPad, Android), and mobile devices.
