Vecta review
A free browser-based SVG editor with collaboration, multipage drawings, and broad export options.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Vecta is a browser-based vector graphics and diagramming editor for individuals and teams. Its feature set covers SVG creation, layers, guides, connectors, smart shapes, reusable symbols, team stencils, formulas, and multi-page drawings. Built-in chat, sharing permissions, team dashboards, and real-time collaborative editing make it suited to groups working on diagrams or vector assets together. It also supports CAD and Visio file import and exports drawings as SVG, PDF, PNG, or JPG.
Pricing is straightforward during the beta phase: the Free plan includes all features and functionalities at no cost. The published plans also describe a planned freemium model beyond beta, so teams evaluating Vecta should consider that the current arrangement may not represent its long-term pricing structure. For now, the free plan includes collaboration, plugins, symbols, imports, exports, and the built-in SVG minifier rather than dividing those capabilities across paid tiers.
Vecta fits workflows that stay in a browser and benefit from shared editing, with Slack listed as an integration and JavaScript-based plugins available for extension. Its focus is broader than basic SVG drawing because it combines vector editing with diagramming tools, multipage documents, file imports, permissions, and chat. However, it is available on the web, and its general vector depth is narrower than a wider-purpose graphics suite. Choose Vecta if free collaborative SVG and diagram editing are the priority; consider an alternative if you need a broader desktop or mobile vector-production environment.
