Linearity

Linearity, formerly known as Vectornator, is a professional vector design and animation platform founded in 2017 in Berlin by Vladimir Danila, who was just 17 years old at the time. What began as a mission to make digital vector design accessible to everyone has grown into a comprehensive creative suite used by designers, marketers, and creative teams worldwide. The company rebranded from Vectornator to Linearity to reflect its expanded vision, splitting its product into Linearity Curve for vector design and Linearity Move for animation.

Linearity Curve offers a full-featured vector editing environment with AI-powered Auto Trace that converts raster images into scalable vectors, an extensive template hub with hundreds of customizable designs, real-time collaboration, a built-in icon library, and advanced font management. Linearity Move complements the design tool by enabling users to animate their vector creations with adjustable pivot points, keyframe animations, and seamless export to multiple formats. The platform also includes a Figma plugin for importing frames and layers directly into the Linearity ecosystem.

As a German-headquartered company, Linearity operates under strict EU data protection standards and is fully GDPR-compliant. With data centers in Germany and the EU, the platform provides European designers and marketing teams with a sovereign alternative to US-based design tools, eliminating concerns about transatlantic data transfers while delivering professional-grade creative capabilities.
