Inkscape is a drawing and painting tool similar to Illustrator, CorelDraw, and Xara X, but with features, new tools, and interface style of its own.

It emphasizes the W3C standard Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) file format, but reads and writes a wealth of other formats including PDF, so it is an easy complement to your other graphics and desktop tools.

 

Best of all, Inkscape is created *by* the community *for* the community: Inkscape is 100% Open Source and freely available to everyone in the world.

Inkscape Overview

What is Inkscape?

Inkscape is a Free and open source vector graphics editor for GNU/Linux, Windows and MacOS X. 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.

It's got some really nice new features. 

A note to those who are upgrading though, go back into preferences and make sure that auto save is still enabled.  For some reason when I upgraded mine that got switched off and cost me a couple of hours of work.  (of course even though I normally obsessively save, for some reason I didn't and that's obviously when it's going to crash.)

Inkscape 1.3.2 solves data loss bug in previous release

Dec. 1, 2023, 5:52 p.m.

The Inkscape Developer Team released version 1.3.2 on November 26, 2023, to solve an important data loss bug in 1.3.1. If you installed 1.3.1, we recommend you update Inkscape as soon as possible. If you’re a Windows user, please uninstall the older version first.

This version enables stars, polygons, spirals and 3D boxes to save correctly

If you experienced data loss with these shapes after saving them in an Inkscape SVG file, there is a way to recover your file. You can do this by manually editing the affected shapes if they are not showing up properly, using the following steps: 

1. Check your files for missing elements by using a web browser or another program (because the missing elements will still be visible in Inkscape, but nowhere else).

2. To fix all the shapes at once, select all the elements in all the layers (using Ctrl + Alt + A, and make sure to unlock them first!) and then move them to the right (or left) and back again by pressing the arrow keys.

3. Any symbols or patterns containing these shapes need to be turned into normal objects to enable Inkscape to replace the missing data.

Unfortunately, any files saved as plain or optimized SVGs are not recoverable. 

Also new in 1.3.2, Inkscape users working in traditional Chinese interface will appreciate the updated translation. 

Download 1.3.2 for all platforms on Inkscape’s web site. You’ll also find the Release Notes there, too.

Should you want to report a bug, we would be happy to receive your contribution. Or if you have a question about version 1.3.2, drop into our online chat and our mostly volunteer contributor team will help you find the answer.

In the meantime, Draw Freely. 

Get Inkscape 1.3.2 for Linux, Windows or macOS!
