A '''vector graphic editor''' is a [[computer program]] that enables its users to create, compose and edit images with the use of mathematical and geometrical commands rather than individual pixels. This software is used in creating high-definition [[Vector graphics|vector graphic]] [[image]]s that can be scaled indefinitely without losing their quality. The output is saved in [[vector graphic format]]sformats, such as [[Encapsulated PostScript|EPS]], [[Portable Document FormatOpenDocument|PDFODG]], [[Windows Metafile|WMF]],or [[Scalable Vector Graphics|SVG]], or [[Vector Markup Language|VML]].

==Specialized features==

Some vector editors support [[animation]], while others (e.g. [[Adobe Flash]], [[Animatron]] or [[Synfig Studio]]) are specifically geared towards producing [[animated graphics]]. Generally, vector graphics are more suitable for animation, though there are raster-based animation tools as well.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Online Vector Animation Software - Animate Your Vector Graphics |url=https://www.svgator.com/vector-animation-software |access-date=2023-12-28 |website=SVGator |language=en}}</ref>

[[3D computer graphics]] software such as [[Maya (software)|Maya]], [[Blender (software)|Blender]] or [[3D Studio Max|Autodesk 3ds Max]] can also be thought of as an extension of the traditional 2D vector editors, as they share some common concepts and tools.
