VectorCraft

Open-source vector illustration written from scratch in Rust

Upvote

VectorCraft is a vector art editor that follows the Adobe Illustrator workflow. The ArtCraft team describes it as a clean-room reimplementation rebuilt in pure Rust, running natively on macOS, Windows, Linux and FreeBSD and in the browser through WebAssembly.

Highlights

  • Real Bézier anchors and handles with Pen and Direct Selection tools
  • Live Blends and layers, with every object listed as a row
  • Pathfinder operations, gradient mesh, live radial repeat and envelope distort
  • Perspective grid that keeps artwork editable in perspective
  • Multiple artboards and light or dark themes

Its command API, the same one exposed through an MCP server, lets AI agents drive the app, and the repository includes example illustrations built entirely through those commands.

Good to know: the ArtCraft name and logos are trademarks of the ArtCraft team and are not covered by the open-source license, so forks must remove them. The code itself is released under Apache-2.0.
