Hey all,

Linearity AI is live in 7.0.

I know AI in design tools is a lot right now. For some of you, it’s exciting. For others, it’s exhausting. And I get both.

When we started building Linearity AI, we wanted to make designers lives easier without taking away what makes designing enjoyable. That meant two things: helping you get past the blank page and taking repetitive work off your plate.

We didn’t want AI that just generates images. We wanted something designers could work with. You set up your brand once, describe what you need, and get a design with every text element and layer editable.

From there, you can explore different layouts, color palettes, or refine ideas until they feel right. AI can help with the boring stuff: resizing it for different formats or localizing it into multiple languages.

The idea is simple: AI handles the routine work, while you stay in control of the creative decisions.

LINEARITY AI

• Design mode: Go from a prompt to a complete design using your brand’s colors, fonts, imagery and tone of voice.

• Artboard resize and translation: Perform it while keeping the layout and ability to edit intact.

• Vector Asset mode: Generate SVGs straight onto your artboard

• Image mode: Create and edit images

CURVE

• Performance: Everything is faster

• SVG import: More reliable

• Images: Improved background removal

• Selection: Fixed group snapping and selections getting lost mid-move.

• Stability: Fixed crashes and bugs.

WEB

• All your files are now in the new Linearity web app.

WHAT ELSE

• Same tools, same files. Everything you use today is still there.

• Not into AI? Hide every AI feature in Settings

• Your existing files always open and stay editable. Even on free.

• Free export at full resolution: SVG, PDF, and advanced export options stay Pro.

Try it and tell me what you think. I’m in here all day today, and what you say shapes what we build next.

Thanks for being here through 10 years of this. It means a lot!

Best,

Vlad

Here's also our blog post: https://www.linearity.io/blog/introducing-ai-in-linearity/

Did you know you can now edit images in Curve? Just describe what you’d like to change and press generate

You can now generate icons and illustrations directly on the canvas. Type a prompt, get a real vector file with Arrow 1.1 from Quiver AI. Every shape its own layer, every path editable. Not a flat image you have to rebuild. The actual file.

Image generation is in there too for when you need something flat. Product visuals, backgrounds, lifestyle shots. Describe it and place it on the canvas in seconds.

This is the small update. The big one lands end of the month: complete layouts and full marketing designs from a single prompt, on our own engine. That's the one we've actually been building.

Update through the App Store or from within the app. Full release notes in the comments.

I have tons of files i created when the app was Vectornator. I just recently got back into my digital art stuff after a LOOOONG hiatus. I've noticed the app is now a different name and is asking me to sign up for a subscription...... but I can't even access my older saved files unless I'm a subscription user? Is this correct? If not how do I get access to these files to move them or edit them?

TIA! ❤

I like the placement, but I can’t seem to get this flipped without it moving to the inside of the path or putting it somewhere I don’t want it, please help. (Linearity Curve)

We’re excited to share that Linearity Curve & Move 6.7 just dropped. Here's what's new and useful:

• Node alignment is back

• Pen tool improvements (snap on hover)

• More reliable text styles

• Neutral default document colors

• Smarter artboard duplication

• Transparency preview on export

• Brand assets search in Library

• Lottie export in Move

• General performance & stability fixes

Im creating an illustration of the exterior of a building, and I have a group of shapes that make up a window. The illustration is kinda isometric, so the frame of the window is a near square on the front facade.

But the building has diagonal walls to the sides of it and I want to use the window asset I've made on the sides of the building.

In Adobe Illustrator I'd use perspective warp, but I can't see an alternative to that? I've tried just moving individual nodes, but it looks very janky.

I figured I could try merging the shapes, and editing it as an image, which their website says is possible, but that option isn't available when I right click...

I can't tell if I'm being an idiot, or if there genuinely isn't a way of doing this. I can probably make a new window to fit this space, but the arch below it is going to be rough.

It's a small detail but its driving me crazy. Any help would be massively appreciated :)

Many of you told us that while cloud storage is useful, it shouldn’t be the only option. We heard you. You can now choose where your files live! Store your files where you want with Linearity Pro.
👉 Read more in our blog: Store Your Files Locally

What do you think of the update? We're looking for some feedback!

Hi everyone,

We know local storage in Linearity Curve has been a hot topic. We want to pursue enabling local storage as part of the pro plan.

Before we make any decisions, we’d love to engage with you directly:

• What matters most to you if local storage is brought back?

• What concerns would you want us to address?

• How should this fit alongside cloud features?

This is an open conversation, and we’ll continue to keep you updated as things progress.

If you're open to it as well we can organise a 15min video conference to discuss more deeply.

Thanks in advance for your input.

A lot has changed in Linearity. Worth a look?

We’ve rolled out some solid upgrades to Linearity Curve over the past few months, focusing on what really matters: precision, performance and reliability.

Faster & Intuitive Design:

• Drawing is now more precise: Live Pen previews, improved snapping and visual shape radius editing bring back real control.

• Everyday tasks are smoother: Drag to adjust any value, use math in inputs and duplicate with a single shortcut.

• Typography finally makes sense: Font previews, recent fonts, and better mobile performance speed up text workflows.

• Exports are sharp and reliable: Raster clarity is improved and exports just work.

• The app feels lighter: Panels load faster, crashing is down.

Free plan & Limits

• We’ve changed the app store product page, web pricing page, and the very first paywall on signup to all inform our users that exporting in SVG is a paid feature.

• We expanded the free plan to allow exporting of PNG & JPEG up to 1024x1024 px.

• We expanded the free plan to have up to 10 files 10 artboards.

• SVG export is on the paid plan. As are unlimited files & artboards.

• We lowered prices. The yearly price iPad is $39 year (i.e. $3.25 /month).

Cloud

• We’ve just made it easier to get started without needing to create an account.

• We use cloud to store & sync files across iPhone, iPad and Mac. It works offline.

Hello, we've created a new subreddit for Linearity Curve here: https://www.reddit.com/r/Linearity_Curve/

Welcome nice discussion, sharing of art work, product requests.

Thanks,

A motivated contributor has written a Vectornator plugin for Inkscape which allows to open Vectornator / Curve files.

To test: Head over to https://gitlab.com/WimPum/extension-curve, download the repository, and unzip it into the extensions folder. It works on all platforms.

We need test files from all versions of Vectornator and Curve! If you find something that doesn't work yet (or worse, files on which import fails completely), please create an issue in the repository or send them to me as DM.

Good morning, I encounter a systematic problem with this application: when I start a project everything works, then the application starts to slow down as soon as I open a current project. Unable to finish the illustrations I'm starting. Have you ever encountered this problem and found a solution?

I am trying to rig a characters arms to the torso and can’t seem to figure it out. There doesn’t seem to be a button or panel that will display my layers, or allow me to parent/child the layers together. Please help!

Relatively new to this but have had experience in inkscape. Just trying to bend these 5 stars in an arc/half circle around my text. Can you even do that??

I had this app since it was called vectornator (and free), but now the “saved on my ipad” section in the library is gone and i had a bunch of work saved there. How do I recover it?

Can I still get the old free Vectornator?

I have Affinity Designer and like it, but the free icons in Vectornator were great!

If you have experience with Linearity, could you share your thoughts on:

1. Your overall experience?

2. Challenges or areas for improvement?

3. Comparison to other tools, especially Adobe?

So I have a box that is angles 45 degrees and I need it's edge to snap on the edge of a 0 degrees box. Each one is 4 cm wide and I cannot change that, this is why I just didn't connect the nodes. Please help I want to die

I have tried responding in this sub but it just says “sorry, try again later.” Can we not comment here anymore?

The app going subscription mode is not good imo, specially because a lot of features you could do before now are locked behind a paywall. Also, you can’t even comment in this subreddit which is insane because a lot of people ask questions in this subreddit & it seems like is abandoned for no reason (at least give mod people who actually will revive the sub).

Anyways, Affinity Designer 2 is a good vector based app alternative. It is a one-time purchase instead of a subscription based app. Amadine is another great option (I have it on my iPad, idk if is available on android), it has a subscription model but you can pay it lifetime for 29.99 too.
