Graphic review
Affordable vector tools with broad editing features, sold separately for Apple devices.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Graphic is a vector design and illustration application for creating work such as logos, icons, diagrams, technical drawings, and mockups. Its native apps run on Mac, iPad, and iPhone, making it a fit for Apple-device users who want vector editing tools without a subscription. The published App Store prices are one-time: $2.99 for iPhone, $8.99 for iPad, and $29.99 for Mac. Prices may vary by App Store region.
The toolset reaches beyond basic drawing. Users can edit vector paths with union, subtract, intersect, exclude, and divide operations, and work with text boxes, text-on-path, kerning, line spacing, and editable text outlines. Layers, grids, snapping, alignment, and dimensioning support structured layouts, while shadows, glows, gradients, patterns, and saved appearance styles extend the visual options. iPad adds Apple Pencil support; Mac includes CMYK documents, scripting, autosave, and layer-based asset export. These platform-specific capabilities matter when choosing which app to buy.
File exchange is broad, with import and export support across formats including PSD, AI, SVG, PDF, PNG, JPEG, GIF, and TIFF. iCloud supports document synchronization, while Dropbox is available for file exchange. The main trade-off is platform reach: Graphic is limited to Apple devices, and its one-time prices apply to separate device apps rather than a single cross-platform license. Choose it if you work in Apple's ecosystem and need substantial vector controls at a one-time cost. If you need Windows or Android support, or one purchase covering multiple device types, another editor may fit better.
