VecDraw

Windows contains some basic tools to perform a little bit of anything you can do on a PC. This includes image editing, even though Paint comes with a rather poor set of features. Needless to say that you can go ahead and look up alternatives, but if you’re looking for a vector-based drawing tool, you might want to try out VecDraw.

Setup is over in a jiffy, letting you take advantage of its features shortly after. A custom-made interface shows up, with a large canvas fitted with a transparent coating, an upper toolbar for management of general controls, as well as a side panel which holds most tools you need to either edit or create new drawings from scratch.

The tools menu contains all necessary drawing options. These include basic shapes and lines, as well as a color picker, bucket, or text tool. You can then choose the point or group selection tool to simply move objects around, or adjust size specifications by dragging points of interest around. Moreover, actions can be reviewed in the history section.

As mentioned, the canvas is covered in a transparent coating by default. It can easily be colored with neatly anything, since there’s a built-in color selection tool. Redo and undo operations help out whenever you can’t decide on whether or not an action needs to be done.

Different shapes can be selected in order to build polygons, making it comfortable to later on drag points of interest for better object manipulation. On the bright side of things, you can work on multiple layers so you don’t feel overwhelmed. File support isn’t abundant, but it does let you work with some popular formats like VEC, PNG, JPG, and SVG.

All things considered, VecDraw isn’t really equipped with an advanced set of tools for high-tech graphical manipulation, but it does come as a suitable upgrade from Windows Paint. Vector processing presents a great advantage, but it could have used at least a few fine-tuning tools and effects.
