"Next level visual creative SW - INKSCAPE"
What do you like best about Inkscape?

Inkscape is a high-end product that allows me to create stunning visuals for my day job. There are many tutorials and other resources that make it very easy to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Inkscape?

Inkscape can take a few minutes to load on my computer, but that may be because my IT department at work has limited my computer capability. The program still functions as expected once fully loaded. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Feature-rich open source graphic editor"
What do you like best about Inkscape?

It is open-source. It supports all the popular formats and supports squeezing fast vector graphics editing. Very likely the fastest free vector graphic editor I have ever seen Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Inkscape?

The interface of this program is somewhat 90-ish, not so ultimately UX-oriented as in Adobe Illustrator or some other competitors do. If you install the beta, you should be ready for some bugs Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A good free alternative"
What do you like best about Inkscape?

Inkscape has many of the features of its more expensive counterparts, and the fact that it's a free program initially caught my attention when I was still trying to decide what to do with regards to my software choices. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Inkscape?

Unfortunately, Inkscape isn't as intuitive as the established products in this space. The lack of usability and polish on this software makes it difficult to learn and often frustrating to accomplish simple tasks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Best Free Software to edit images"
What do you like best about Inkscape?

Best features to add layers on the making of catalog, I think Inkscape is the best for me to create logos and edit images. Free software with lots of features rather than paid softwares. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Inkscape?

I don't think there is any downside of Inkscape, but I would suggest improving selection criteria in images. I wish to see some exciting features in the new updates as always they do. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Helpful but Challenging"
What do you like best about Inkscape?

Some of the tools on Inkscape are quick to learn and easy to use. Change a jpg to and svg by selecting the object and tracing to bitmap. Then you can easily export it as an Inkscape svg or plain svg. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Inkscape?

Other tools can be challenging to figure out how to get it to work just as I'd like them. Maybe it's because I'm using Inkscape on a Mac and it's primarily built for pc's. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Free Version of vector design software"
What do you like best about Inkscape?

Creating Catalog design and image manipulation with the premium feature, also used to export image to AutoCAD File for further design purpose. like a selection & layer command for fast working with Inkspace Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Inkscape?

Inkspace should improve UI user-friendly. Time is taken for first-time users to find commands & export and hard to learn. Improve image tracing for curve and logo making Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy to pick up software for creating your own drawings"
What do you like best about Inkscape?

The simplicity in picking it up and then being able to use it to decent level. Also for something free, its very capable and the scope is not bad at all Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Inkscape?

Generally I cant fault it, any limitations are normally due to my own ability Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Inkscape"
What do you like best about Inkscape?

I have the freedom to create art in any non-vector drawing program, then vectorize it and add any final touches through Inkscape, which has been phenomenally helpful in both my personal and professional work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Inkscape?

The user interface is a little hard on Mac computers. Quick keys like using Ctrl to Scale proportionally, as well as using the space bar alone (without having to click the mouse) to pan across art are somewhat confusing. Some tools and actions take up too much of the screen. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A free, open-source vector application that gives Illustrator a run for its money."
What do you like best about Inkscape?

It's free, and pretty easy to use. The interface is intuitive for the most part, and darker themes are available to be easier on the eyes. There are plenty of resources available on the Internet and tutorials on video platforms like YouTube to help you figure things out. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Inkscape?

Coming from a non-expert user, the only con I can see is if you're a serious designer looking to make a career for yourself, you'll probably want to skip Inkscape entirely and heavily familiarize yourself with Illustrator ASAP. Don't waste your time learning a product that industry won't be using, since they are a bit different and the commands and stuff may clash in your head. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy SVG creation for Ecommerce Shop"
What do you like best about Inkscape?

Love inkscapes simplicity and flexibility in helping us create clean SVG files for our online digital Ecommerce shop! Robust enough to get the job done and simple enough to use without a ton of program knowledge. Inkscape has many features to create simple SVG or very complex SVG files for the more detailed designs. Shortcuts, Functionality, & intuitive user interface make it easy to complete any task. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Inkscape?

Previous version struggled with the MAC OS but the newest update has removed most of the bugs for me! Very happy with that upgrade.

The only "dislike" here is possibly the original learning curve to use the software. Computer savvy people who are familiar with similar programs like photoshop cs, elements or the like will have no problem adjusting to this program. Newbies may struggle at first, but once you get a feel for the software it is quite easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
