Inkscape
About Inkscape
Inkscape is a free and open-source vector graphics editor released under the GNU GPL. Forked from Sodipodi in 2003, it uses SVG as its native format and is widely used for logos, icons, illustrations, posters, diagrams and scientific figures as a free alternative to commercial vector tools.
It offers shape tools for rectangles, ellipses, stars, polygons, spirals and 3D boxes, Bezier, pencil and tablet-friendly calligraphy tools, gradients and patterns, layers, grouping, alignment and snapping, text on paths, bitmap tracing and live clones. It imports PDF, AI, CDR and VSD files, exports PNG, PDF, EPS and PS, and includes an XML editor, a command-line interface and an extension system.
