Pen Tool

The Pen tool is your go-to for drawing custom vector shapes from scratch. Whether you’re sketching icons, building logos, or tracing over a reference, it gives you complete control over every point and curve.

Drawing with the pen tool

• Activate the Pen tool from the main toolbar at the bottom of your screen
• Click and drag to draw smooth, curved paths
• Click once, then click again to create straight lines between points
• Hold Shift while clicking to snap lines perfectly horizontal or vertical
• Snap to nearby objects and nodes for clean, precise connections

Closing and editing paths

• Connect the start and end point of your path to close it and turn it into a solid shape
• Once closed, double-click the shape to enter vector editing mode and fine-tune the curves
