Performance – How Easy is it to Work on VectorStyler?

VectorStyler’s beta version has so far pleased a lot of graphic designers because it’s very user-friendly. The interactive tools make editing very easy. Even difficult tasks like setting up or editing mesh gradients are easier using this too.

Since the software supports all types of fonts, aligning, formatting, or adjusting text is very easy.

The special ‘shape building’ tool makes it easy for amateur artists to create unique shapes from the intersections of other shapes. They can then use the shape painter tool to create dynamic groups of shapes.

Shape

Searching, copying, and pasting objects or texts with certain attributes are super-easy.

The ‘undo’ and ‘redo’ buttons give editors the chance to experiment freely with their artwork. In case they fail to save an edit, they can use the tool’s history panel to locate past versions of the artwork.

Compatibility

Since most graphic illustrators currently use Adobe Illustrator, they may assume that using VectorStyler will disrupt their workflow. But, the software allows users to import native AI files. Unfinished artworks (in AI format) can also be imported with modifiable object styles, features, and effects. Users can also import swatches, gradients, and their favorite brushes from AI files.

Pricing

The Vectorstyler beta version is 100% free to download but out of beta version you have to pay 99 USD to purchase a single license that will come with a free for a year.

The pros of using this designing software is you don’t have to pay anything for subscription.

OS:– For all Mac devices

Overall Performance

Recent upgrades to VectorStyler make it an amazing design and illustration software. Features like the ability to create multiple canvases in single documents, make it very easy to manage the workflow.

Users can even create several artboards inside one canvas and work on different aspects of the illustration at the same time. The software also makes it easy to interactively edit shape effects and set up multiple shapes on different groups of objects thanks to the highly convenient shape effect panel.

Overall, VectorStyler receives a 9/10 rating for being so innovative in terms of features yet offering the same efficiency that established tools like AI offer.
