User Reviews

Vector Q by Imaengine is praised for fast, high‑quality vectorization (auto-trace) with many presets and tuning, and for being beginner-friendly. It excels for image and video workflows, in‑app editing, and straightforward SVG exports, useful for crafts like vinyl, decals, or Cricut projects. However, most recurring concerns are cost and stability: export/save often require payment, and the app can crash or lose work after updates. Other frequent complaints include missing undo/redo and a UI that some users find opaque or changed in ways that disrupt workflows. Overall, strong vectorization with caveats about usability and cost.
Pros
  • Fast, high‑quality vectorization (auto-trace) with many presets and tunable controls.
  • Beginner-friendly and easy for non-drawers to produce usable vectors.
  • Versatile across image and video workflows with in‑app editing and SVG export.
  • One-time price and ongoing improvements make it affordable compared to subscriptions.
  • Useful for craft and design workflows (vinyl decals, Cricut, pattern illustration) thanks to export-friendly formats.
Cons
  • Export/save often requires payment; paywall can surprise users.
  • Stability issues include crashes and save errors, especially after updates.
  • Missing undo/redo and an opaque or frequently changed UI that disrupts workflows.
  • Background/vectorization options can be limited (e.g., only one background removal algorithm).
  • Some updates regress usability or introduce changes that hinder established workflows.

I’ve been charged three times now. Do not buy this app. I notified the developer and never responded. The restore purchase don’t work and keep charging even if you already paid. I’m tired of telling the developer.

I use the app for fun projects including a Warhol-like print I made for my niece of an image from her wedding where she was smiling with her husband, repeated across the print in 60’s colors - just chose one vector design and kept easily recoloring - so cool. I also design sewing patterns, and use this app to easily convert photos of my pattern pieces to vector to illustrate my instructions pages. I am terrible at drawing, and rendering photos of my pieces took way too my time in Adobe Illustrator as I had to review so much to make all the pieces the look consistent. Now, I use two of the vectorizing designs to help creating my instructions in a consistent and efficient way. Love this app, worth the low price <3 !

Love this app - and the dev’s other apps - more than will fit in this tiny review space. Seriously. I use it to design art for music releases, but there’s a lot more it’s capable of.
