Vectr is a free, browser-based vector graphics and logo design tool with real-time collaboration, SVG export, and optional AI-powered features.
Vectr is a vector graphics editor that runs in the browser and, historically, as a downloadable desktop app, designed to make basic vector design and logo creation approachable for non-designers. It positions itself as a simpler, more collaborative alternative to professional tools like Adobe Illustrator.
The product originated at Vectr Labs, a startup founded around 2014 by a small team combining design and engineering backgrounds, with the explicit goal of building a cross-platform, real-time collaborative vector editor. The company raised about 910,000 dollars in venture funding, led by Resolute Ventures, and took the product out of beta in September 2016.
Vectr Labs was acquired by stock media company 123RF in November 2017. The product is now operated under Pixlr Pte Ltd, part of Singapore-based Inmagine Group, which also owns the Pixlr photo editor and 123RF stock photo marketplace, placing Vectr within a broader family of creative and stock-content tools.
Vectr's signature feature is real-time collaboration: multiple users can edit the same vector document simultaneously and chat inside the editor, similar in spirit to collaborative document editors but applied to vector graphics.
The tool includes an AI logo maker for quickly generating logo concepts, an image-to-vector converter that turns raster JPG or PNG images into editable SVG paths, and newer generative AI add-ons such as background removal, text-to-vector generation, and object removal.
Projects sync automatically across the web app and any connected devices, and designs can be exported in SVG, PNG, JPG, and Vectr's native file format, with commercial usage rights included even on lower-tier plans.
Vectr offers a free plan with around 30 MB of storage, a limited element library, and ads, aimed at casual or one-off use. Paid plans remove some of these limits and add AI credits.
The Plus plan is priced around 4 dollars per month with roughly 1 GB of storage and a monthly allotment of AI credits, while the Premium plan is priced around 9.99 dollars per month with about 5 GB of storage, a larger AI credit allowance, support for multiple concurrent sessions, and priority support.
