Vector Graphics Editor
A vector graphics editor is a software application used to create and manipulate vector images, which are composed of mathematical paths, points, and curves rather than pixels. It allows designers to create scalable graphics that maintain quality at any size, commonly used for logos, illustrations, icons, and typography. These tools support features like bezier curves, layers, and object-based editing for precise control over design elements.
Developers should learn vector editors when working on UI/UX design, creating custom icons or logos for applications, or preparing graphics for responsive web and mobile interfaces. They are essential for generating SVG files, which are lightweight and scalable for web use, and for collaborating with design teams on mockups and assets in formats like AI or EPS.
