Inkscape is a free and open-source software (FOSS) used to create vector artwork. It is available for Windows, Mac, and Linux (but not mobile).

Inkscape's native file format is .svg (Scalable Vector Graphics). It can import and export many other file formats, including PDF, EPS, JPG, GIF, PNG, and more.

At Pikes Peak Makerspace (PPM), we maintain Inkscape on our Windows Design Workstations 1-3.
