From sketch to vectors instantly

While Figma supports image importing and basic image editing capabilities, it doesn’t offer an automated tracing tool. In contrast, Linearity Curve stands out with its AI-powered Auto Trace feature, making your team's workflow much more efficient.

Auto Trace allows your team to quickly and easily turn sketches, photos, and raster illustrations into scalable vector paths that can be edited with ease.

And when combined with the Node Tool , your team unlocks even more control over anchor points; seamlessly switching between smooth and corner points, adjusting handles, and tweaking path segments. To top it off, color-coded Bézier nodes provide convenient visual clarity for your path’s start and end points.

Multi-device application

Figma is a web-based tool, meaning it can be accessed on any device through your browser. However, once you import your Figma files in Linearity Curve, your team will have the ability to work offline. Linearity Curve is free to download and use on any iOS-supported device.

Our mobile apps for iPhone and iPad are touch-friendly, offering an efficient experience on the go. And for marketing teams looking to design on a larger canvas, our desktop app is the perfect choice. Plus, you'll soon be able to effortlessly share files from your workspace, fostering seamless teamwork and real-time feedback.

Endless third-party importing options

Since Linearity Curve is built by designers for designers, we’ve experienced the pain of bad import and export options in other tools before as well. That's why we built a software that can be used completely standalone and in combination with other tools.
