The Inkscape application is used across a wide variety of industries (marketing/branding, engineering/CAD, web graphics, cartooning) and individual uses. Vector design is often the preferred method of image creation for logos, illustrations and art which require high scalability. If you are new to the process of creating vector graphics it may feel different, but you will quickly be pleased by the flexibility, and power Inkscape offers. It is cross-platform, which means it is easy to run on Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. Inkscape can take you from this stage to a final, professional-grade design format which is ready for publication on the web or in physical form.Īll Inkscape projects may be exported in formats friendly to web browsers or commercial printer rooms. The design process may begin by doodles on a napkin, a sketched mindmap, a photo of a memorable object, or a mockup in software which really wouldn’t work to complete the project.

What sets Inkscape apart is its use of Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG), an open XML-based W3C standard, as the native format. Inkscape is an open-source vector graphics editor similar to Adobe Illustrator, CorelDraw, Freehand, or Xara.
