Which tool is used for creating vector-based designs?

The Freeform Pen Tool is designed specifically for creating vector-based designs, allowing users to draw custom shapes and paths that can be easily adjusted and manipulated. Unlike raster images, which are pixel-based and can lose quality when resized, vector graphics are resolution-independent, meaning they can be scaled without losing clarity. The Freeform Pen Tool enables precision in drawing by letting users create complex shapes and curves, making it particularly useful in graphic design illustrations, logo creation, and any other applications where scalability and clean lines are essential.

In contrast, while the Pencil Tool is great for freehand drawing, it often produces raster graphics, and the shapes created may not be as easily editable as those made with the Freeform Pen Tool. The Shape Tool serves a function for creating standard geometric forms but does not offer the flexibility of custom drawing paths. The Text Tool is specifically for adding text rather than designing shapes. Therefore, the Freeform Pen Tool stands out as the most suitable option for creating detailed and scalable vector-based designs.
