Gravit Designer remains a prominent name in the world of vector graphics, offering a streamlined yet capable environment for digital artists and illustrators on Windows. Now integrated into the Corel ecosystem (often referred to as Corel Vector), this software bridges the gap between basic drawing apps and expensive industry-standard suites. It excels at creating scalable vector assets, making it a go-to choice for users who need precision without the steep learning curve of heavier applications. Whether you are running the legacy desktop version (v3.5 series) or exploring its cloud-based evolution, Gravit Designer provides a comprehensive toolkit for manipulating paths, shapes, and typography with professional accuracy.
Key Features
- Bezigon and Pen Tools: Offers sophisticated path manipulation capabilities, allowing users to draw complex curves and shapes with high precision using smart control points.

- Master Pages and Layers: specific layout features that help organize large projects by applying consistent templates and styles across multiple pages, essential for UI/UX design.
- Advanced Typography Engine: support for Google Fonts and local system fonts, complete with detailed formatting options like kerning, line height, and text-on-path functionality.
- Multiple Export Formats: Allows users to save their work in various industry-standard formats, including PDF, SVG, EPS, and high-resolution PNG, ensuring compatibility with print and web workflows.
- Smart Anchors and Grids: Facilitates pixel-perfect alignment by snapping elements to custom grids, guides, and other objects, streamlining the layout process for screen design.
Use Cases
This software is particularly effective for UI/UX designers who need to prototype websites or mobile app interfaces using symbols and shared styles. It also serves marketing professionals and illustrators who require scalable vector graphics for branding materials, logos, and social media content that must look sharp at any size.
