Inkscape is a free and open-source vector graphics editor used to create vector images, primarily in Scalable Vector Graphics format. The project was forked from Sodipodi in 2003 and has steadily grown into a fully featured vector design tool used by web designers, illustrators, technical writers, and scientific publishers.
