.vectorcraft .jsx Built in

VectorCraft artwork opens directly in Illustrator.

No converter needed. VectorCraft saves .ai files that Illustrator opens as ordinary artwork, and exports PDF and SVG too.

Already compatible

Built into VectorCraft: Save As .ai, PDF or SVG. Nothing to convert.

No upload, no conversion. Here is how to do it, and what to check.

What carries over

Paths, shapes, fills, strokes and gradients
Text and placed images
Artboards
Layers and groups, with the Legacy (version 7) option
PDF and SVG as other routes

How to send it

In VectorCraft choose File ▸ Save As…, pick ai and save. Illustrator opens it like any .ai. For layers and groups choose the Legacy (version 7) option, which saves one artboard per file.

Worth knowing

The .ai VectorCraft writes holds no Illustrator editing data, so Illustrator sees plain artwork: no live effects, no appearance stacks.

The legacy version 7 option has no transparency: objects are written opaque. For transparency use the default PDF-compatible .ai, or export SVG or PDF.

Questions

Will Illustrator open it?

Yes: the default is a PDF-compatible .ai and the legacy option is Adobe's published version 7 format, both of which Illustrator reads. We couldn't test in Illustrator ourselves, so check a file before sending it on.

Will my layers survive?

Only with the Legacy (version 7) option. The default keeps the artwork but not Illustrator's layer data.

Which is the safest route?

SVG or PDF for simple artwork; the .ai for something the other person will keep editing.
