A Free Illustrator Alternative, Right In Your Browser
Real Pen Tool
Click for corner points, click-drag for smooth curves — the same bezier workflow as desktop vector apps.
Shape Builder & Pathfinder
Drag across overlapping shapes to merge or erase regions, or use Union, Subtract, Intersect and Exclude for precise boolean combinations.
Import SVG, Images & .ai Files
Import an SVG or Adobe Illustrator (.ai) file and every shape comes in as its own real, editable, recolorable path — not a flattened image. Multiple artboards import as their own pages. Or paste directly from your clipboard.
Layers Panel
Every object is its own layer — drag to reorder, rename inline, or toggle visibility and lock state.
Full Fill & Stroke Control
Solid colors, stroke width, opacity and per-corner radius — every property is editable from one panel.
Free Transform
Scale, rotate and reposition any object with on-canvas handles, with smart guides that snap to nearby edges and centers.
Undo Everything
Every draw, move, style change and reorder is undoable — experiment freely.
100% Private
Runs entirely in your browser. Nothing is ever uploaded, and it stays that way for export too.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this a free Adobe Illustrator alternative?
Yes — a free, browser-based illustrator-style tool with a pen tool, Shape Builder, Pathfinder booleans, layers and free transform. No signup, no watermark, and it's not affiliated with Adobe.
Does it have a pen tool?
Yes — click to place corner points, or click-drag to place smooth curve points, just like a standard bezier pen tool.
Can I import an SVG or image file?
Yes — import an SVG and each shape comes in as its own real, editable, recolorable path, not a flattened image. PNG, JPG, GIF and WebP import as placed images. You can also paste directly from your clipboard.
Can I import an Adobe Illustrator (.ai) file?
Yes — drop in a .ai file saved with Illustrator's default "PDF Compatible" option and its vector shapes, colors and multiple artboards import as real, editable paths, right in your browser. Live text and embedded raster images inside the .ai file are not converted yet.
Does it have a Shape Builder or Pathfinder tool?
Yes — drag across overlapping shapes with the Shape Builder tool to merge or erase regions, or use the Pathfinder panel for Union, Subtract, Intersect and Exclude.
What can I export?
Download your illustration as a real, editable SVG file, or as a flattened transparent PNG.
Does it support layers?
Yes — every object gets its own layer. Reorder by dragging, rename, and toggle visibility or lock a layer to protect it while you work.
Is my work uploaded anywhere?
No. Everything is drawn and rendered directly in your browser — nothing is ever sent to a server.
