Learning Vectr from Scratch

Learn to access and open saved designs in the home area using the my design section, with automatically saved projects loading when opened in vector.

Create a new project from the project interface by selecting new file, choosing a template, and creating, then edit on the artboard and access designs in the vector editing area.

Learn how auto save works in Vectr as you edit designs, and master manual saving by right-clicking the artboard to upload updates to the server.

Import external vector files into vectr by opening a file and selecting formats such as svg, ai, pdf, and eps.

Export your design from the project window by selecting a format such as JPEG, adjust the quality and dpi, then download, share to social medias, or print the image.

Learn how to share Vectr projects by exporting files, sharing to social media or email, and copying a shareable URL for easy access in a browser, even without signing in.

Adjust document dimensions in Vectr by editing width and height, locking or unlocking the size, and applying presets like blog cover, website, postcard, US letter landscape, and flyer.

Add multiple pages in Vectr, create phase one and phase two, rearrange pages by clicking and dragging, and delete or duplicate pages for a flexible multi-page vector design.

Practice creating and styling basic shapes in Vectr, using the shapes panel, drag to draw, adjust color, gradients, shadows, borders, and explore vector shapes that scale without pixelation.

Import images into a vector by using the upload image section, selecting a file, and opening it. Resize, place, and customize with borders and shadows.

Use the text tool to add and type text inside a vector, resize it, and adjust its settings on the right; more settings are covered in upcoming videos.

Select the text and adjust its font size to 25. Choose fonts like Paprika, Pattaya, Permanent Marker, or Melissa, and apply styles such as semibold or italic.

Explore how to customize text properties in vectr, adjusting font, weight, size, line height, letter spacing, color, radial and linear gradients, images inside text, borders, shadows, and positioning.

Explore how to access and add elements in a vector design using the left panel, including free and premium items, drag-and-drop placement, opacity controls, and keyword search.

Learn to create shapes in vectr with pen tool, clicking, dragging, and closing shapes, and adjust fill, border, and shadows; use shift for pointy lines and undo with ctrl z.

Edit vector shapes by manipulating points and bezier curves with the pen tool, double-click to refine edges, smooth curves, and add shadows for detailed design.

Use the pencil tool to draw freely in a vector and edit the open-ended shape. Customize with stroke color and size, apply a linear gradient, and add images as needed.

Explore fill options in shapes, including flat colors, hex/rgb/cmyk codes, opacity control, and image fills, plus linear and radial gradients with draggable color stops.

Learn to add borders and shadows to vector shapes in Vectr by enabling borders, picking colors or hex codes, adjusting thickness and opacity, and configuring shadow offset and blur.

Adjust opacity to make shapes transparent, set exact width and height (400 by 400 mm), and position, nudge with arrows, or rotate via the dimensions panel in Vectr.

Rearrange vector layers by sending items to back or front and renaming layers, then drag shapes like star, heart, and gear to the desired stacking order.

Master showing and hiding layers in vectr to keep assets organized without deletion, using eye icons, right-click hide, and keyboard shortcuts to toggle visibility.

Lock and unlock vector layers to prevent accidental movement, using the gear icon or right-click on a layer or the layer panel lock icon to freeze and restore edits.

Unlock all objects in the vector by right-clicking and selecting unlock all, even when some are locked. Right-click and choose show all objects to reveal hidden items.

Learn to flip objects horizontally or vertically and rearrange their stacking order in a vector using pop up buttons, including sending to front or back and rotating as needed.

Learn to group and ungroup shapes in Vectr, apply colors and shadows, resize and duplicate shapes, and arrange them into a single composite object.

Learn to align multiple shapes in Vectr with the alignment tools. Select shapes and align them to the left, center, right, top, or bottom using leftmost, center, or topmost references.

Learn to align shapes to the center of the page in Vectr, using center alignment, resizing shapes, and adjusting opacity for centered vector designs.

Learn to use the distribute option in vector to evenly space copies of shapes, with horizontal, vertical, center, left, and right distribution for precise alignment.

Learn to copy and paste shapes in Vectr using paste in place to reproduce objects at the exact location, avoiding slight shifts during edits.

Create a text box with the text tool, then outline the text to convert it into editable vector graphics, so you can resize without pixelation and edit bezier points.

Learn to combine and divide shapes in Vectr by selecting multiple shapes and using unite, subtract, intersect, exclude, and divide tools to create complex vector compositions.

Use the snapping feature to align shapes precisely by centering them and snapping to the top or bottom rows with crosshair guides. Drag to reference lines; the middle line snaps.

Enable snap to pixels in settings and drag shapes to align with the pixel grid, then disable to restore smooth movement.

Enable the grid, snap to pixels, adjust grid size (e.g., ten pixels), and use grid lines as reference to align objects for pixel-perfect vector work in Vectr.

Access the history of your vector designs in the design section, view edit dates like 18 days ago, 16 days ago, and track changes directly from the home page.

Add and edit comments to collaborate on designs, with replies, notes, emojis, and deletion options, and save changes to track discussions in a vector file.

Learn how to share designs in Vectr by enabling view, edit, and comment permissions, copying the shareable URL, and testing access in incognito mode.

Enable right-to-left language support in the settings to improve handling of scripts like Arabic. Users can add RTL language support and type from right to left.

Learn to use snap to grid and snap to pixels with the pen tool to create precise shapes, including squares, circles, semicircles, diamonds, and cubes in vector design.

Trace complex vector graphics in Vectr using the pen tool to outline shapes, adjust curves with click-drag and hold shift, then color with radial and linear gradients while managing layers.
