Another fav 5 stars by gimpguy (Read all my 655 reviews)
I've been using Inkscape since (I believe) it came out, or close. For those who don't know what this is capable of, I suggest browsing around for things made in Inkscape, read tutorials and such and find out just what you can do with this great SVG editor. Scalable vector graphics (SVG) yes, it's a scalable image or (XML)file format. I believe Photoshop has this ability but I don't use it, can't afford it so Inkscape is part of my main graphics collection of Blender, Gimp and Inkscape, pretty much accomplish anything that needs to be done and all free. You can export to .bmp or .png with Inkscape, has 3-d box creation among MANY MANY other options and effects, even text. Believe me, the "what you can do list" is far too numerous to type here, you simply have to read some tutorials and try it. It is a learning curve to be able to use it but well worth the effort after you do. So if you want a FREE, extremely powerful SVG graphics editor, you need look no further. Inkscape is the best in my opinion and probably always will be. showShow review details
Excellent bitmap-to-vector application! 5 stars by Martial_Artist
As a small business owner, I literally could not afford to purchase the high-dollar apps that are the industry norm. Instead, my reliable stand-by, Snapfiles, filled the need. Inkscape is definitely easy-to-use, bridging the gap between graphics in the major word processing apps and those high-dollar apps. Especially useful was the "trace bitmap" function, which allowed me to create vector images. I would recommend Inkscape to anyone who had even the most basic understanding of graphics creation. showShow review details
Good vector graphics editor 5 stars by AppleGuy
Excellent Utility but there is a definite learning curve to it. The Raster to Vector capability here is a rarity in a freeware program, and it does a great job as well. It tends to get a bit sluggish when it gets too congested with vectors. I'd recomend this program to anyone wanting to make vector graphics. showShow review details
