Amadine review
A focused vector editor for Apple devices, with mobile free access and Mac lifetime licenses.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Amadine is a vector graphics application for making illustrations, logos, lettering, UI layouts, web graphics and print projects. Its drawing, path editing, typography and color tools suit people creating artwork on a Mac or iPad, with an iPhone version available too. Documents are compatible between Mac and mobile versions, so it can fit workflows that move among those Apple devices. Its platform boundary is clear: it is for Apple users, not people looking for a Windows or Android editor.
The feature set covers core illustration and production work: variable-width strokes, layers and sublayers, Boolean operations, clipping masks, and text on paths, in shapes or in flowing boxes. Image Trace converts bitmap images to vector artwork, while RGB and CMYK modes, recoloring tools and exports to SVG, PDF, AI, PNG, JPEG and TIFF support both screen and print-oriented output. Built-in and user-created vector libraries help keep reusable artwork at hand. Pexels, Pixabay and Unsplash are listed integrations. This range makes Amadine more than a simple drawing pad, though buyers needing a broader cross-platform ecosystem should look elsewhere.
Pricing differs by device. The iPad/iPhone Free version is fully operational, but exporting, printing and image tracing require purchase. The mobile subscription is advertised at $2.99 per month; in-app purchases are also available monthly, yearly or lifetime. On Mac, a single-user lifetime license is $29.99, while a family lifetime license for five seats is $49.99. That makes the Mac option straightforward for someone seeking a one-time license, while mobile buyers should weigh recurring access against the other purchase options. Choose Amadine for Apple-based vector illustration and practical output formats; skip it if your work requires other operating systems or a broader platform reach.
