VectorFirstAid, cleaner files. Faster workflows.
Clean and repair artwork with VectorFirstAid
Fix common vector problems, simplify messy paths and clean up imported artwork in seconds. Turn difficult files into artwork that’s easier to edit, manage and work with.
Clean up files in one click
Find and fix common document problems automatically, removing unnecessary vector data and tidying complex artwork with a single action.
Make complex artwork lighter
Remove redundant anchor points, empty objects and unnecessary groups to simplify artwork and help reduce Illustrator and SVG file sizes.
Rescue difficult imported files
Repair common issues in PDFs, CAD artwork and other imported files, from broken paths and text lines to unnecessary clipping masks.
Unoutline text
Convert outlined text to editable text and automatically re-joins text lines. Requires original exact font to be present on your system — this is not an OCR process, so has the benefit of placement precision.

Remove excess points while protecting the intended shape of paths.
Remove active AG content
Strip active Astute Graphics Effects and content for artwork handoff.
Set your quality rules
Create reusable checking profiles with tolerances that suit your work.
