Gravit Designer A cross-platform vector graphics tool, runs as desktop application and in-browser too. Entirely free. Easier to use than Inkscape, better with vectors than Krita, and available on more platforms than Sketch. It's a little slow and gummy when you've made a very complicated picture, but it's honestly the best possible alternative I've found. Thank you, and thanks to Gravit. rvanarsdale • May 2017 • 5 agrees and 0 disagrees Disagree Agree It is a simple yet powerful vector editing program suitable for vector artists, web designers, publishers, logo designers, etc. It also features non-destructing boolean operations (better pathfinder), showcase mode, multiple strokes and fills, global palettes, and more, surprisingly without any clutter.

Inkpad Inkpad - Vector illustration app for the iPad. InkPad has all the essentials of Adobe Illustrator with the same look and feel of tools, icons, Bézier curves, etc. There are layers, masks, you can place pixel based images in the documents. Feels like Illustrator from the old days, before all the effects options. But, you really start to wish for a mouse. Also note that currently, InkPad doesn’t seem to react at all to input from a Bluetooth keyboard. Guest • Jan 2018 Disagree Agree Free Open Source iPad No features added Add a feature 18 Like
