What Vector Notes can do

Built for the pen: everything you need to write on a tablet as freely as on paper.

Write with your pen

Fountain pen, ballpoint, brush, pencil, fineliner, calligraphy, marker and highlighter – pressure-sensitive, with your own pens and adjustable smoothing.

Live: handwriting to text

Just write and Vector Notes turns it into text – on the device, in English and German (Android and Windows).

PDF, Word and PowerPoint

Insert documents as pages and mark them up with your pen. Copy text from PDFs, cut out regions, offline text recognition.

Lasso and shapes

Select, move, rotate, recolor. Lines, arrows, circles and coordinate systems become clean shapes when you hold.

Designs and backgrounds

Light and dark, drafting table, Sumi-e, Cyberpunk; backgrounds like paper, linen, wood or slate – or your own photo.

OneDrive, Google Drive, Moodle

Optional sync through your own OneDrive or Google Drive. Open files from Moodle, Nextcloud and WebDAV directly.

Lock a document

Fix a document to page width: scroll vertically only, nothing shifts while you write. Zoom and rotation can be locked.

Print and share

Print frames and preview for A4 pages, export as PDF or image.

Private from the start

No account, no ads, no tracking. AI features are optional and only run with your own API key.
