Draw Freely. +====================== + +[https://inkscape.org/](https://inkscape.org/) + +Inkscape is a Free and open source vector graphics editor. It offers a rich set +of features and is widely used for both artistic and technical illustrations +such as cartoons, clip art, logos, typography, diagramming and flowcharting. +It uses vector graphics to allow for sharp printouts and renderings at +unlimited resolution and is not bound to a fixed number of pixels like raster +graphics. Inkscape uses the standardized SVG file format as its main format, +which is supported by many other applications including web browsers. + +SVG Features include basic shapes, paths, text, markers, clones, +alpha blending, transforms, gradients, and grouping. +In addition, Inkscape supports Creative Commons meta-data, node-editing, +layers, complex path operations, text-on-path, and SVG XML editing. +It also imports several formats like EPS, Postscript, +JPEG, PNG, BMP, and TIFF and exports PNG as well as multiple vector-based +formats. + +Inkscape's main motivations are to provide the Open Source community +with a fully W3C compliant XML, SVG, and CSS2 drawing tool emphasizing a +lightweight core with powerful features added as extensions, and the +establishment of a friendly, open, community-oriented development +processes. + +[](https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/commits/master) +[](https://ci.appveyor.com/project/inkscape/inkscape) + +For installation, please see: [INSTALL.md](INSTALL.md) |
