Inkscape

Inkscape is a free and open-source vector graphics editor developed by the Inkscape Project and its contributors. It runs on Windows, macOS and Linux.

Unlike photo editors, Inkscape works with vector shapes, so artwork can be resized without losing quality. Its native file format is SVG, the open web standard for vector images. It provides drawing and path tools, shape and text tools, layers, gradients, alignment and distribution helpers, and the ability to trace bitmap images into vectors. Finished work can be exported to formats such as PNG and PDF.

Inkscape is suitable for logos, icons, illustrations, diagrams, posters and files for cutting machines or laser engravers. It is a practical choice for designers, students and small businesses that need vector design software without a subscription. Download it from inkscape.org, which also offers official tutorials.
