## 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.
