Inkscape is a vector graphics editor compatible with Adobe Illustrator and Corel DRAW.

Vector graphics editors allow us to create graphic designs: logos, icons, diagrams, banners, etc. The difference with a "normal" visual editor is that vector editors make images that can be resized without quality loss. That is to say, the created picture can be enlarged or reduced as much as we want, and the quality of the image will not be affected.

Inkscape allows the creation and edition of vector graphics. Despite free software, the available tools to create designs vary. We can freehand draw, draw Bezier curves and straight lines, and draw calligraphic strokes or strokes.
It also has tools to create complex geometrical figures such as rectangles, squares, 3D boxes, circles, ellipses, arcs, stars, polygons, and spirals. These tools facilitate the creation and drawings of high-complexity figures.
The lines and drawn objects can be modified simply by changing the node's path or using the tool of "touch up objects using the sculpture or painting."

As is usual in this type of program, we can insert text easily, change the colors of the drawn elements, create image layers, group objects, etc.
It is essential to highlight the "Filters" and "Extensions" sections, where we will be able to modify the figures that make up the image, applying filters such as black outline, diffuse light, bezel mate, neon, puzzle piece, aluminum foil, embossed leather, sepia, blur, distort, shadows, highlights, textures, etc. This allows us to create drawings very colorfully and have nothing to envy to those drawings made by "normal" graphics editors.

The program uses the default file type SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics), an open standard used in many vector tools. In addition, the program can open Adobe Illustrator files (up to version 8) and Corel DRAW files (7-X4, 7-13, and Presentation Exchange). We can save the file in different formats in addition to SVG: pdf, png, ps, dxf, WMF, and more.

Remember that this vector design program is used differently than "normal" graphics editors. So if we are not accustomed to using this program, we must follow some tutorials or take any editing vector graphics course.

Inkscape performs many jobs in different fields, including web editing, logo design, map creation, technical diagrams, and no end of work. This is thanks to the program, in addition to being free, is open source and is updated frequently.
Although it does not have all the functionality of other paid professional programs, such as Adobe Illustrator, it will be more than enough for many users and professionals in the vector drawing sector.
