For illustrators

Skip the
blocking-in phase.

Prompt the rough composition — character placement, color block-in, perspective lines. Open the editable SVG in Illustrator, Affinity, or Inkscape and refine it in your own hand. Keep your style, save the early-blocking time.

Every draft is real, editable vector — clean paths that open in Illustrator or Affinity, not a flattened image.

The short answer

Yes — it feeds your style, doesn’t replace it. Clearly draws the rough composition so you skip the blank canvas, then you open the editable SVG in Illustrator, Affinity, or Inkscape and finish it in your own hand. Real paths and groups, not a flattened trace, and paid plans carry a full commercial license.

Lose the blank canvas, keep your hand

The early blocking-in eats nearly half of every job — and it’s the least creative part. Let the draft layer handle it, then do the part only you can.

Starting from scratch

  • Stare down a blank canvas every brief
  • Re-block composition and perspective by hand
  • Burn 40% of the job before the fun starts
  • Raster AI tools give you pixels you can’t edit

With Clearly

  • Prompt a rough comp in seconds
  • Get clean, intentional vector paths
  • Open the SVG in Illustrator or Affinity
  • Refine in your own style and ship
Built for your process

A draft layer that respects the craft

Clearly generates and vectorizes your prompt in one pass, tuned for clean, editable paths — so the rough is clean enough to finish, never something to fight.

Roughs in seconds

Prompt placement, color block-in, and perspective lines, then jump straight to the part that needs your eye.

True vector output

Real paths and groups, not a flattened raster. Scale infinitely without losing a single edge.

Refine anywhere

Editable SVG opens in Illustrator, Affinity, Inkscape, or Figma — finish in the tool you already know.

Your style stays yours

The draft is a starting point. Every node and color is editable, so the final piece reads as your hand.

Where it fits the job

From thumbnail to finished plate

Generate the editable vector, then take it the rest of the way in your own register.

Character roughs

Block placement, pose, and proportion fast, then refine the line and form by hand.

Color block-in

Get a flat color comp to react against before committing to your palette and rendering.

Spot illustrations

Draft editorial and spot art in your brief’s direction — feature openers, blog art, zine pages.

Line art & icons

Generate clean line work and glyph sets as a base, then tune weight and detail to taste.

Refine the line, form, and color in your own style, then export press-ready SVG, PNG, PDF, or EPS with a full commercial license.

FAQ

The illustrator’s workflow, answered

01Will this replace my style?+
No — it feeds it. Clearly draws the rough composition so you skip the blank canvas, then you open the editable SVG and finish it in your own hand. Every node, curve, and color stays editable, so the final piece is yours, not the AI’s.
02Can I refine the output in Illustrator, Affinity, or Inkscape?+
Yes. Clearly exports clean, standard SVG with real paths and groups — not a flattened raster. Open it directly in Adobe Illustrator, Affinity Designer, Inkscape, or Figma and refine from there. You can also export PNG, PDF, and EPS.
03Is this a raster-to-vector tracer?+
Not the manual kind. You never upload a raster or push nodes by hand — Clearly generates the image and vectorizes it for you in one pass, tuned for clean, editable paths with fewer stray nodes than a hand-trace. It scales infinitely without losing quality, from a thumbnail to a print.
04Do I own what I generate?+
On a paid plan, yes — a full commercial license on everything you create, no per-export fees and no attribution required. The free tier is for personal use.
