## Made in VectorCraft
|

|

Every piece below was built entirely through VectorCraft's command API, the same one the MCP server
|
||
exposes to agents, and exported by VectorCraft's own renderer. The source files are in
|
||
[`examples/`](examples).

## Why VectorCraft
|
||
|
||
- **Familiar.** Illustrator's layout, tools, menus, panels and shortcuts: the Pen, Direct Selection,
|
||
Pathfinder, Smart Guides, Appearance, Swatches, Layers and more. You already know how to use it.
|
||
- **Fast.** Multithreaded SIMD rendering off the UI thread. 20,000 shapes render in about 27 ms at
|
||
full retina resolution while the interface stays at 120 fps.
|
||
- **Robust.** Exact curve booleans (no "cannot perform operation"), unlimited undo via structural
|
||
sharing, and property-tested file round trips.
|
||
- **Open.** A documented native format (`.vectorcraft`, JSON), first-class SVG, PDF (and
|
||
PDF-compatible `.ai`) import and export, PNG/JPEG/WebP export, Export for Screens, and SVGZ,
|
||
templates, GIF, TIFF and BMP on open.
|
||
- **Agent-native.** Every menu item, tool gesture, panel and dialog can be driven over a JSON
|
||
control channel and an **MCP server**, so Claude and other agents can draw, edit and export the
|
||
way a person does.
|
||
- **Everywhere.** One codebase for the desktop apps and the same UI in the browser.
|
||
|
||
## Quick start
|
||
|
||
```sh
|
||
git clone https://github.com/storytold/vectorcraft
|
||
cd vectorcraft
|
||
|
||
cargo run --release -p vectorcraft # desktop app
|
||
cargo run --release -p vectorcraft -- examples/dusk-poster.vectorcraft
|
||
cargo run --release -p vectorcraft -- --control 7979 # + JSON control channel
|
||
cargo run --release -p vectorcraft-cli -- mcp # MCP server (stdio)
|
||
cargo run --release -p vectorcraft-cli -- run --in examples/ribbons.vectorcraft --export out.pdf # headless batch
|
||
cargo run --release -p vectorcraft-cli -- bench examples/neon-drive.vectorcraft # render timing
|
||
cargo xtask bundle # dist/VectorCraft.app (macOS)
|
||
cd apps/vectorcraft-web && trunk build --release # web build → dist/web
|
||
cargo xtask ci # fmt, clippy, tests, layering, wasm, vendor names
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Japanese fonts come from [storytold/craft-fonts](https://github.com/storytold/craft-fonts), an optional
|
||
build input (releases always use it): `CRAFT_FONTS_DIR="$PWD/../craft-fonts" cargo run --release -p vectorcraft` (an absolute path).
|
||
Without it, Japanese text uses the installed system fonts. See [`docs/development.md`](docs/development.md#fonts-craft-fonts-optional-build-input).
|
||
|
||
On machines with two graphics processors, VectorCraft renders on the power-saving (integrated) one by default on
|
||
Windows and macOS, and on the one the desktop runs on under Linux. To choose, use **Preferences › Performance ›
|
||
Graphics Processor** and restart. If a graphics processor can't show the window, VectorCraft starts again on the
|
||
next one. To pick one when starting the app, set `WGPU_POWER_PREF=high` (or `low`), or `WGPU_ADAPTER_NAME` to part of
|
||
its name, such as `WGPU_ADAPTER_NAME=nvidia` (see [`docs/development.md`](docs/development.md#desktop-graphics-processor)).
|
||
|
||
On native Wayland, winit 0.30 does not deliver dropped files. To open an SVG, use File › Open;
|
||
to place artwork in the current document, copy and paste the file in a file manager. For file
|
||
drag-and-drop, set **Preferences › Performance › Linux Display Server** to **X11 (XWayland)** and restart, or start
|
||
the app with `WAYLAND_DISPLAY= vectorcraft`: the window then opens through XWayland, where drops work
|
||
(see [`docs/development.md`](docs/development.md#linux-wayland-and-x11)).
|
||
|
||
On Linux under KDE Plasma 6.3 or later with Wayland, a drawing tablet's pen moves the cursor but VectorCraft doesn't
|
||
respond to it yet (#491). Open the window through XWayland instead, with the same preference or `WAYLAND_DISPLAY= vectorcraft` (see
|
||
[`docs/development.md`](docs/development.md#linux-wayland-and-x11)).
|
||
|
||
### Use it from Claude Code and other agents
|
||
|
||
Register the MCP server with Claude Code:
|
||
|
||
```sh
|
||
claude mcp add vectorcraft -- /path/to/vectorcraft-cli mcp
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
To keep an agent to one project's files, give it folders to read and write (the same flags as PhotoCraft):
|
||
|
||
```sh
|
||
claude mcp add vectorcraft -- /path/to/vectorcraft-cli mcp --automation-read-root /work/project --automation-write-root /work/project
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
The details are in [`docs/mcp.md`](docs/mcp.md) and [`docs/control-protocol.md`](docs/control-protocol.md).
|
||
|
||
For the experimental, unsupported 64-bit Windows 7 build, see [Windows 7 instructions](docs/windows7.md).
|
||
|
||
## Status
|
||
|
||
VectorCraft is under active development. [**ROADMAP.md**](ROADMAP.md) has the stage, the numbers by dimension
|
||
and what's next; [`docs/target-app-parity.md`](docs/target-app-parity.md) the full parity assessment and
|
||
[`docs/gaps.md`](docs/gaps.md) the ranked list of what's missing.
|
||
|
||
**Where we are (2026-10-10): alpha.** About 88% of Illustrator 2026's menu items, tools, effects and formats exist
|
||
(92.5% of menu items do something), feature depth is ~75%, and we estimate ~65% "ready for real work" for a mainstream illustrator (~62% against
|
||
all of Illustrator): everyday
|
||
vector illustration is close to usable: drawing and path tools,
|
||
Pathfinder and Shape Builder, paint, gradients, appearance and transparency, type with styles, threading and Hebrew/Arabic bidirectional layout, and
|
||
files (SVG, PDF and PDF-compatible `.ai` with PDF/X, EPS, DXF, EMF/WMF, raster formats, PSD out and PSD/PSB in as their merged image, Print, Package).
|
||
Affinity documents (`.af` from Affinity 3, `.afdesign`, `.afpub` and, by their content, `.afphoto` from Affinity 1 and 2) open
|
||
and place natively: layers, groups, artboards and pages, curves and shapes, fills, gradients and strokes, clipping
|
||
and masks, text and images, with what didn't come in (effects, adjustments, brushes, master pages…) listed in the
|
||
import warning; a file whose native data can't be read opens as its embedded preview, saying why. VectorCraft
|
||
doesn't write Affinity files. Current `.af` validation includes 33 pinned files, native save/reload
|
||
and every-board SVG/PDF/PSD export, with fixes for Affinity 3 artboards, source-backed JPEGs and text runs.
|
||
[Scope and limits](crates/affinity/README.md); [source audit and remaining gaps](docs/affinity-validation.md).
|
||
The interface
|
||
speaks English, German, Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese, Traditional and Simplified Chinese, Spanish, French, Hungarian, Italian, Polish, Russian and Ukrainian (and Czech and Brazilian Portuguese in the menus);
|
||
[localization-parity.md](docs/localization-parity.md) has the details.
|
||
The scores are self-assessed from our code against Illustrator's public documentation;
|
||
[target-app-parity.md](docs/target-app-parity.md#how-this-was-measured-2026-10-10) explains how far to trust them.
|
||
|
||
**What's missing:**
|
||
- reliable exchange of Illustrator's own `.ai` files (layer structure in real files; Illustrator's editing data isn't written);
|
||
- an interaction-fidelity pass covering every tool's modifiers and small behaviours;
|
||
- 3D and Materials beyond the initial live Revolve (Extrude & Bevel, Inflate, Rotate, materials);
|
||
- about half of the Photoshop-style raster effects (28 of 57 still missing; Film Grain is available under Artistic) and the Effect Gallery;
|
||
- CJK composition for vertical type (vertical type itself has initial support, with a Japanese interface);
|
||
- scripting, and the rest of Variables (image and graph kinds, dataset import);
|
||
- generative AI features.
|
||
|
||
**Where we're going:** next is the interaction-fidelity pass, `.ai` files from real users and start-up stability,
|
||
alongside the raster-effects package; then type, the Illustrator 2026 additions and 3D. The ranked list is in
|
||
[`docs/gaps.md`](docs/gaps.md).
|
||
|
||
**Workspace:** `crates/{geom, color, doc, pathops, text, effects, three-d, trace, brush, render, svg, pdf, eps, cad, metafile, format, tools, engine, ui-egui, mcp, testkit}`
|
||
and `apps/{vectorcraft, vectorcraft-cli, vectorcraft-web}`. The egui frontend is its own crate, so
|
||
the UI can be swapped without touching the engine.
|
||
|
||
Agent and contributor rules (clean-room, the asset policy, no panics in shipped code, quality gates) are in
|
||
[`AGENTS.md`](AGENTS.md); [`docs/development.md`](docs/development.md#robustness-vectorcraft-never-crashes)
|
||
explains how VectorCraft avoids crashing, and [`docs/releasing.md`](docs/releasing.md) how releases are built,
|
||
signed and published. Every bundled asset is listed with its licence in [`ASSETS.md`](ASSETS.md).
|
||
|
||

Our Discord is where artists of every kind hang out: people who paint, shoot, draw, cut film,
|
||
set type, and people still figuring out what they like to make. Share what you're working on,
|
||
ask for help, tell us what's broken, or tell us what you wish these tools could do.
|
||
Whatever your medium and however long you've been at it, you're welcome here.
