Vectopen

Vectopen is a free, open-source vector graphics editor for Windows, macOS and Linux, built with Godot Engine. No account, no telemetry, no paid tier.

This is the user manual: how to install Vectopen, how the three interfaces are laid out, what each tool and panel does, and how to save, export and automate your work.

Current version: 0.2.0-alpha

This is an alpha: most things work, some don't yet, and you will find bugs. Each page says plainly when something is incomplete. If something breaks, please tell us on Telegram or open an issue on GitHub.
