Inkscape also supports Creative Commons meta-data, node editing, layers, complex path operations, bitmap tracing, text-on-path, flowed text, direct XML editing, and more. Supported SVG features include shapes, paths, text, markers, clones, alpha blending, transforms, gradients, patterns, and grouping. Inkscape is an Open Source vector graphics editor, with capabilities similar to Illustrator, Freehand, CorelDraw, or Xara X using the W3C standard Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) file format. We also aim to maintain a thriving user and developer community by using open, community-oriented development. It is very easy to edit nodes, perform complex path operations, trace bitmaps and much more.

Inkscape supports many advanced SVG features (markers, clones, alpha blending, etc.) and great care is taken in designing a streamlined interface.


Cloning option, alpha channel mixing, use of layers, transformations, gradients.Support for text, text alignment and text in traces.Draw all kinds of shapes and traces, as well as performing complex operations with them.Inkscape is a powerful vector graphics editor, that uses the W3C standard: the SVG format ( Scalable Vector Graphics). There are different programs to work with vector graphics, among which the most important are FreeHand, Illustrator, CorelDraw or Inkscape, the best free alternative. Their main advantage is that they can be rescaled (this means made bigger or smaller) without losing quality. Vector graphics are images formed by independent geometric objects, compared to raster graphics that are formed by pixels.
