Vector Editor with Teach Mode

vector editorsvg editorlogo makericon makervector drawingdraw svg

Vector Editor with Teach Mode is an online vector editor for drawing logos and icons from shapes, and for teaching how they are made. It sits on a shared MockFlow board, so everyone on the board draws in the same tile and sees each change as it happens.

Use Vector Editor with Teach Mode together on your board.

Teach mode turns drawing into a lesson. One person draws while every change is recorded as a step, and teammates follow live, replay it later or try each step themselves over a dashed guide. A built-in lesson, Location pin icon, shows how it works.

For the drawing itself there are rectangles, ellipses, polygons, stars, lines and arrows, a pen for your own curves, Union, Subtract, Intersect and Exclude to combine shapes, solid fills and gradients, AI that draws editable shapes, and clean SVG export.

  • Teach mode. Every change becomes a lesson step with a plain label. Learners see a banner when someone is teaching, follow each step live, and can replay the lesson later.
  • Your turn. In a lesson, Your turn shows the target as a dashed guide. Trace it and press Check to see how closely your shape matches, or Show me to see the answer.
  • Pen and shape tools. Rectangle, ellipse, line, arrow, polygon and star, plus a pen for curves. Corner radius, sides and points stay editable after you draw.
  • Combine and Shape builder. Union, Subtract, Intersect and Exclude turn simple shapes into marks, and Shape builder merges or cuts overlapping pieces by dragging.
  • Icon canvas. A 24 or 48 icon canvas, or a 512 logo canvas, with keylines and snapping to whole pixels so edges stay crisp at small sizes.
  • AI that draws editable shapes. Draw with AI makes a logo mark, line icon, filled icon, badge or flat illustration from a description, as one option or three. The result is ordinary shapes, not a picture.
  • Clean SVG export. Export the whole drawing or a selection as a plain SVG file, fitted to the shapes with optional padding or to the icon canvas, or copy the code.
  • Made for working together. Everyone on the board draws in the same tile. You see each other's cursors, and a shape someone has selected is outlined in their colour so two people never change it at once.

Questions about Vector Editor with Teach Mode.

What is a vector editor?
A vector editor draws pictures from shapes and curves, not pixels, so they stay sharp at any size. That is why logos and icons are made as vectors and saved as SVG files.
Can I make a logo with it?
Yes, a logo mark. Build the symbol from shapes, the pen and Combine, or start from the Logo mark starter or Draw with AI. It draws shapes only, so lettering for a wordmark is added elsewhere.
Can I make icons at exact sizes?
Yes. Turn on an icon canvas of 24 or 48 from the zoom menu. Shapes snap to whole pixels, and the exported SVG is exactly that size.
How do I export an SVG?
Open Export, choose the whole drawing or the selection, and press Download SVG or Copy SVG. The file is plain, clean SVG.
Can I open an SVG I already have?
Yes. Paste or drop an SVG onto the tile and it arrives as editable shapes.
Can several people draw at the same time?
Yes. Everyone on the board works in the same drawing. Two people can edit different shapes at once, and each person sees the others' cursors.
How does Teach mode work?
Press Teach, name the lesson and draw. Each change is saved as a step, and you can add a note to it. Teammates can follow live, watch the saved lesson step by step, or press Your turn to draw each step and check it.
Which MockFlow plans include it?
Artifacts are included on the Plus and Max plans. Anyone can sign up free and start a board. Draw with AI uses your AI credits.
