Vectornator keeps vector documents, brushes, and templates in local app storage with iCloud sync. Export SVG and PDF for other tools.

Last updated

Vectornator stores vector work locally with iCloud sync. Documents with artboards, brushes, templates, and version history persist per device and mirror through iCloud. The iPad app edits the same files.

That makes iCloud the migration with exports for handoff. Exact behaviors may vary by version. Linearity account features layer collaboration on top; solo work needs no login at all. Auto-trace converts sketches fast. Boolean ops merge shapes cleanly. Cloud libraries share assets. Grids snap precisely.

Frequently asked questions

Do documents sync between devices?

Yes for documents on login across Mac, iPad, and iPhone with iCloud sync on. Brushes and templates follow too. Reinstalls restore everything from the cloud.

How do I export finished work?

Open the document and export as SVG, PDF, or PNG for handoff to other tools. Native files open fastest back in Vectornator. Keep originals alongside exports for edits.
