What's a good vector graphics software?

[Drew]

I use Vectr which is free but at the moment it does all I need it for, i'm looking to go more advanced and bigger soon but i'm confused, any good ideas that isn't going to cost me a small fortune?

ImageMagick, is the most versatile graphics software I know of, it is all I use. It is not limited to
vector graphics, but does include them .
Plus it is available at no cost.

imagemagick appears to be an image editing software rather than something that would be used for Vector illustrations. For image editing, I highly recommend GIMP as the ultimate free alternative to Photoshop.

Personally, I only use Adobe Illustrator for vector graphics, so I can only give you an idea of what's out there. I'm a professional designer, so luckily my workplace pays for my software. lol.

If you're looking for freebies. Try Inkscape or SVG edit. These two are mainly for web based stuff, but they might suit your needs.

Affinity Designer is $50. I haven't used it personally, but I've seen it mentioned quite a bit. Seems to be quite new and it's affordable. https://affinity.serif.com/en-us/designer/

I agree with @Translations Cloud - The great thing about Adobe is you can pay monthly now instead of paying out a ton of cash for the software.

Adobe Illustrator is the industry standard tool for vector graphics...

I would agree with 2 commentators above and suggest adobe illistrator as well. Really popular and powerful tool.

I am not good with GIMP but it is said an alternative to Adobe Illustrator.
I mostly use Inkscape for any kind of design. Banner, advertising, feature image, logo, icon...

Both are free.

Both Adobe Illustrator and Corel Draw are regarded as the best.

I feel Illustrator from Adobe is a very useful and somewhat easy to use software for vector graphics; It does require a learning curve but if you've used other Adobe products or Graphic Design suites, it should be somewhat easy to pick up 🙂

Check out Affinity Designer, it's really good and a cheaper alternative than Adobe Illustrator, and they have plenty of video tutorials.
