Designed for Icon Edition

Creating icons often requires features found in other vector tools, but they can be complex and time-consuming, requirering design skills. Axialis IconVectors offers simple, easy-to-use functions made specifically for icon editing.

For example, adding badge overlays is a common task to create icon variations. IconVectors makes it easy to add a badge and automatically create a cutout around it to improve visibility:
