In their own words
Amadine
Amadine is vector graphics software for making and editing scalable artwork, with raster effects available in designs. It runs on Mac, iPad, and iPhone; listed requirements are macOS 11 or higher and iPadOS or iOS 15 or higher. More than 30 tools cover selection, drawing, editing, and typing, including Pen, Draw, Width, and Image Trace. Text can follow a path, sit inside a shape, or flow between linked text boxes. Effects include Shadow, Inner Shadow, Blur, Inner Glow, and Outer Glow. Amadine imports SVG, PDF, and AI vector files, plus JPEG, TIFF, PNG, and HEIC images. It exports vector artwork as SVG or PDF and other work as JPEG, TIFF, PNG, or PDF. Images can also be imported from Pexels, Pixabay, and Unsplash, with an internet connection. The free version is operational, but exporting, printing, and image tracing require a license. iPad and iPhone in-app purchases start at $2.99 a month; Mac lifetime licenses are listed at $29.99, paid once for one user and $49.99, paid once for five seats.
Gusta Draw
Gusta Draw is a free browser vector editor for creating logos, posters, stickers, app icons, and machine-cut designs. Its tools include selection, node editing, shapes, pen, pencil, polyline, text, and eyedropper editing for SVG paths. Folders, visibility and lock controls, and unite, subtract, intersect, and exclude operations organize and modify geometry. The editor offers linear and radial gradients, blur, drop shadow, palettes, type pairings, and a seeded roughen effect. Users can upload TTF or OTF fonts, turn text into outlines, and save embedded fonts. SVG files can be imported; SVG, PNG, and PDF can be exported, along with editable.gustadraw.json projects. Documents autosave in the browser, while rendering, geometry operations, and export run locally. After the page loads online, editing and export work offline; AI, cloud saves, and publishing need a connection. The AI copilot requires an account and Gusta tokens. The Free plan costs nothing. It runs on Android, iOS, and the web, adapting to phones and tablets.
