Inkscape An Open Source vector graphics editor, with capabilities similar to Illustrator, CorelDraw, or Xara X, using the W3C standard Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) file format.... Low on memory and packs lots of features. Guest • Mar 2019 • 2 agrees and 0 disagrees Disagree Agree Although it does crash at times (since it's still in beta), it is also much easier to use and I even took an E2020 class that uses this. I am surprised that such a powerful vector graphics tool is free unlike Adobe Illustrator. Honestly, whoever made this is one of the most experienced in recreating a paid app and making it free as well. SLZERO • Aug 2019 • 5 agrees and 1 disagrees Disagree Agree I see no reason to try, let alone purchase, any other software for dealing with vector graphics cidian • Jun 2019 • 5 agrees and 4 disagrees Disagree Agree Inscape has a lot of tools and options. It's very stable. Updates are frequent. I never needed another software to get my job done. Guest • Aug 2017 • 17 agrees and 3 disagrees Disagree Agree It has everything you need for a vector graphic editor, it's quite simple to use and it's completely free. I totaly recommend it! Guest • Apr 2017 • 19 agrees and 4 disagrees Disagree Agree Does some secret things that Illustrator doesn't or can't. Certainly has a more useable colour picker - shame on Adobe for that horrible colour picker! phillipsalf • Feb 2017 • 28 agrees and 9 disagrees Disagree Agree It is open source and runs on Linux rockiger • Dec 2018 • 2 agrees and 0 disagrees Disagree Agree It has (almost) everything that AI has, but free! Guest • Jul 2018 • 4 agrees and 1 disagrees Disagree Agree Inkscape is just as capable and powerful as Illustrator, if not more powerful while being free and open source. quadratic • Sep 2018 • 3 agrees and 1 disagrees Disagree Agree Lack of raster control along with image resizing. Poor alternative. Guest • Oct 2018 • 1 agrees and 4 disagrees Disagree Agree Despite it has issues on mac, it works awesome on linux. Has a lot of on-the-way functions that Illustrator only could dream at. renemartnez • Jan 2018 • 5 agrees and 0 disagrees Disagree Agree Ease of use, completely free, it keeps on improving.

Gravit Designer A cross-platform vector graphics tool, runs as desktop application and in-browser too. It's free, and also easy to use. Some advanced features are lacking, but the dev team is constantly adding new ones. Guest • Jul 2018 • 3 agrees and 1 disagrees Disagree Agree Good components, easy and free. Guest • Jun 2018 • 0 agrees and 1 disagrees Disagree Agree transition from Illustrator is very easy Guest • Jun 2018 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. Guest • Jul 2017 • 3 agrees and 0 disagrees Disagree Agree 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 • 6 agrees and 2 disagrees Disagree Agree Intuitive, many of the same basic and intermediate functions as Adobe Illustrator. Icons/illustrations provided are great!
