+## What it is
+
+Inkscape is an open-source vector graphics editor. Vector images are made of shapes and paths rather than pixels, so they stay sharp at any size: the right format for logos, icons, illustrations, diagrams and print. Inkscape's native format is SVG, the web's standard vector format, and it also imports and exports PDF, EPS and PNG.
+
+## Why it's here
+
+- **Illustrator-style design.** Paths, the pen tool, text on paths, gradients and boolean operations are all there.
+- **Native SVG.** Graphics for websites and apps come out as clean, standard SVG.
+
+## On CoreDesktop
+
+CoreDesktop installs Inkscape as a Flatpak from Flathub. Open it from the app grid. `update` keeps it current along with your other Flatpaks.
