Vector Q by Imaengine

One of the best toon app

This app is awesome. It can create the cartoon character version of you as well as some cool things to play around

Just what I needed to make vector files

This app blew me away! Freak'in fast and useful, love its effects as well as the range of export format and methods. The video mode is so efficient and great way to capture stills too. Amazing! Keep producing more amazing apps guys! Kudos!!!!

Nice app ; ))

I love this app. It produces beautiful images. Presets allow new users to easily get started, and advanced features make the results highly customizable. The full version is well worth the price.

I REALLY LOVE VectorQ, and have been using it for over 5 years now. It's really fantastic, does what no other vector conversion app can do, all in a matter of seconds!—and has been working GREAT up until now. However, some very strange behavior has cropped up, starting with the last recent minor udates. After importing any PNG or JPG file, from either my PHOTOS or FILES app, into VectorQ for iPad... 1. A file use to first load in its HOME display screen as a raster previewed file before selecting the VECTORIZE icon at bottom right. Once selected, the file would still display in its original raster preview until selecting any of VectorQ's vector conversion result preview displays. VectorQ has also offered the option as well to recall that raster preview for comparing vector versions to the original graphic. Now it: — Bypasses the HOME raster preview screen and auto-loads into the VECTORIZE screen — Arbitrarily removes solid color backgrounds. Regardless of whether it's a PNG ( solid matte or transparent ) or a JPG, they disappear — Arbitrarily removes one or more elements in the original file with no rhyme or reason, varying with different subjects from file to file — Now renders no change from its initial import preview when selecting its ORIGINAL file display option. The same initial missing background and elements remain — Arbitrarily creates transparent holes in the corrupted preview — Now displays any remaining visible objects in B&W outlines, regardless of which conversion previews above PURE VECTOR that previously displayed vectorized colored versions are selected ( even when VectorQ's alternate b&w lined preview options are NOT chosen ) 2. I've tried importing numerous raster files saved from Affinity Photo, Affinity Designer, Photoshop, Illustrator, Lightroom & Retouch (all iOS version apps) in various resolutions and formats—they all yield the same result. 3. I've also tried both shutting down and restarting ( rebooting ) my iPad, as well as deleting the VectorQ app and then reinstalling it—to no effect. I'm using a 12.9" M1 iPad Pro running iOS 17.5.1—but this problem only started after installing the last few minor updates under 17.5—and using VectorQ v. 7.3.7. I own a total of four iPads, all of which have VectorQ on them...one is an early 12.9" 2nd generation iPad Pro running iOS 13 ( which is the oldest and therefore rarey used ) while the other three are all running iOS 17.5.1. The three running iOS 17.5.1 all exh

I had this app as a free version for a long time but finally paid for the full version and it was worth it for me. I love that it handles both images and video. Couple of notes or ideas: 1) could the dev add a better way to hide modals. Especially the kind that pop up over the working area with property value sliders on certain style modes. Like maybe a long press on the title could make it draggable or a swipe right makes it slide off the screen (hidden), or just a classic close /hide button. 2) could there maybe be a global undo/redo button to jump between previous or subsequent effect changes. Like if I have the first mode selected, then scroll way to the last mode and select it, but then want to see the first mode again it goes back to the first one after pressing undo. 3) the editor, particularly layers. it would be great if the mode buttons only operated on user-selected layers. For example, if i wanted to add the outline effect on the original image, i could add a new layer (from the original image) and select that layer, then select the outline mode, then when i go back to the layer it only updated that particular layer, keeping any other layers as they were before i selected outline for that layer. Like it only updates that selected layer. 4) support for different algorithms. This is just an example. The remove background function already works amazingly, but it only uses one default algorithm. Maybe there could be other object identifier algorithms or background removal algorithms to select from on these sorts of functions so the user can select the one best for them. Additionally, maybe the user can add an “anchor” pinpoint to the image and the function then attempts to find the object containing that point, then it removes everything but that object. But that idea is a little more extreme because i personally haven’t seen any background removal apps that do that. 5) better and more transparent rendering process. It hasn’t worked for me yet to export a video.

*April 2024- They have improved their version of the ‘auto-trace’ or ‘auto-vectorizing’ whatever it goes by.. it was always pretty good and unique but it has improved to be even better so if that’s one of your main reasons for wanting a vector app then I say hands down get this one because the price is perfect..a one time payment. Lots of different options to make unique SVG files from more complex images or photos and then turn them into vectors. Being able to customize settings like lines, thickness, colors, etc. in a simplified and more intuitive interface is worth the price alone. I will say this though- If you are planning on making a lot of art with different brushes & effects, wanting to go all in on an iPad app then I’d recommend something like Affinity Designer 2 bc it’s way more robust but also more complicated with a steeper learning curve & it doesn’t have an auto-trace function. But back to Vector-Q.. Once you have vectorized your image, you can then go into the ‘editor’ and start editing and play around with the nodes, add text, etc. or you can skip the auto-vector part and just go straight into the ‘editor’ and draw or paint from scratch to make your own art in the program. All in all I definitely recommend. *Updated Review: May 2022* Love it! ❤️👍🏼 - I have had this app for a couple months now and l’d say that I only use it on average about 15 times a month but it's not all that scary like it was in the beginning when I first got it, being new to the whole vector and digital art/graphic design scene in general but I have come to think its an awesome piece of vector/editing software. It’s more straightforward and less glitchy than others I’ve tried and I’ve tried a lot these past few months. I have been designing my own SVG’s for my Cricut projects. When converting images to vectors and drawing with the brush tool it doesn’t add so many nodes like other converting apps do. I would def try it out, it’s free to use so you can try it and then if you like what you’ve done and want to export then you pay like $5 or something small like that. Worth it.

Used to be so easy and now I have no idea how to do things in the editor and you can’t do things easily like moving layers around. Useless now.
