If vector work on your team is locked behind per-seat Adobe subscriptions, this installs on every machine you own for nothing and reads and writes the SVG and PDF files you already have.
A vector illustration app from the ArtCraft team, written in Rust and dual-licensed MIT or Apache-2.0. Version 0.4.0 has pen and direct selection, shape booleans, snapping guides, an appearance panel, live blends, envelope distort, gradient meshes, perspective grids and image trace. Files save as JSON and move in and out as SVG and PDF. Installers cover macOS, Windows and Linux, with a WebAssembly build and an MCP server for agents. Parity with Illustrator is self-assessed at 69 to 75 per cent; 3D, raster effects, vertical CJK and scripting are missing.
