Inkscape is an open-source vector graphics editor, with capabilities similar to Illustrator, Freehand, CorelDraw or Xara X, which uses the W3C standard: the Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) file format. The supported features include: shapes, strokes, text, markers, clones, alpha channel blends, transformations, gradients, patterns, and groupings. Inkscape also supports Creative Commons metadata, node editing, layers, complex stroke operations, graphic file vectorization, text tracing, text alignment, direct XML editing, and much more. It can import formats such as Postscript, JPEG, PNG, and TIFF, and exports PNG as well as many vector-based formats.

The main goal of Inkscape is to create a powerful and comfortable drawing tool, fully compatible with XML, SVG, and CSS standards. They also aim to maintain a thriving community of users and developers using an open and community-oriented development system, ensuring that Inkscape is easy to learn, use, and improve.
