It can be overwhelming to learn how to use all of its features, but there are great resources available on Internet and in the "Help" menu in Inkscape, including a lengthy manual and tutorials ranging from basic to advanced level. For some rare corner cases, it even provides a built-in XML editor, allowing you to edit textually any detail of your creation, which can surprisingly be easier to understand by abstracting away the user interface in a readable format. Inkscape is a polished piece of software, working as expected on all major platforms (Windows, MacOS and Linux).
INKSCAPE SOFTWARE
I have encountered a few frustrations while using it, but my overall experience is definitely positive and I would recommend this software any day of the week to any person getting into vector graphics design.
INKSCAPE PDF
Its ability to open and modify PDF and AI (Adobe Illustrator) files is a real plus, as designers will often send their work in those formats. I don't have much negative about this software only my main focus is on speed, starting even this software takes a lot of time.īecause Inkscape is able to work with many different image formats, it has enabled me to convert raster images to vectors at work, making it possible to print high quality promotional material. Even if it has more paid features on other alternative software's, this software's interface is not user friendly, it needs one learn fully in order to come up with a complete and good vector image of logo. Exporting an image does not support various formatting types. Sometimes its processing functionality can be a little slow. Lastly this software is flexible and versatile that is it can be changed or modified without changing anything.
INKSCAPE MAC OS
Unlike other alternative software's, this software can run on different platforms that is Windows, MAC OS and Linux Operating systems. Using this software is really easy even for starters since it does not have complicated components that one can't understand easily. It is a free open source software thus anyone can download and use it.

This indeed is the best software if you want to start create and editing vector images. jpeg file shouldn't require an extension those actions should be more straight forward. Also, some fundamental actions are complicated to implement: for example, setting default document properties shouldn't require to save a file in a specific folder or exporting your artwork as a. I WISH it supported the Adobe Illustrator format (ai) but it's too much to ask as that is a proprietary file format. Also, I rely on the "trace bitmap" feature a lot: it's great to reuse royalty-free bitmaps on a quick design or just for inspiration. I love you can even work with PDF files natively. It has some out-of-the-box features equivalent to those in Adobe Illustrator but for free! It's open-source and get updated regularly. It gets the job done really well! Love it! PROS I have not needed to switch to any other alternative. Sure, Illustrator has its great set of features, but Inkscape is nowhere lesser. Even though Inkscape is an open-source and free application, that doesn't mean it's inferior to paid alternatives in any way.

Right now, Inkscape is indispensable for me and my design career.
