Neon Drive — made in VectorCraft

02Highlights

What's inside.

  1. 01

    The workflow you know

    Pen, direct selection, shape booleans, snapping guides and an appearance panel, laid out the way you expect.

  2. 02

    Genuinely fast

    20,000 shapes render in about 27 ms at retina resolution, and the interface runs at 120 fps.

  3. 03

    Booleans that never fail

    Exact curve booleans mean no more “cannot perform operation”. Unlimited undo means no more fear.

  4. 04

    Live, editable effects

    Blends, envelope distort, gradient mesh, live radial, grid and mirror repeats, glows and drop shadows — all still editable.

  5. 05

    Image tracing

    Turn raster images into clean vector paths with 12 tracing presets.

  6. 06

    Open formats

    Native JSON documents, SVG and PDF import and export, PNG, JPEG and WebP output, and multi-size export for screens.
