What Vecta is
Vecta is a browser-based SVG editor and diagramming tool for creating drawings collaboratively. Its precision controls use pixels, millimeters, centimeters, and inches, with zoom reaching 6400%. Shape editing includes fragment, union, difference, intersect, join, and trim operations. Vecta imports JPG, PNG, GIF, SVG, DWG, VSD, and VSS files. Drawings can be exported at 96, 180, or 300 dpi, with SVG and PDF export available. Teams can edit together in real time, control access at team, folder, and drawing levels, and share drawings by email or generated link. JavaScript plugins can automate drawing tasks, and the published API documents editor functions, plugins, and drawing objects. Slack and Google Drive integrations are listed. The Beta plan costs nothing and includes all features during beta. Vecta’s pricing page says it intends to move to freemium subscriptions after beta, without listing paid prices. Users retain copyright to their drawings.
