Inkscape Reviews & Product Details

It’s easy to use, and the interface feels familiar if you’ve used other graphics programs. There’s also plenty of documentation online for when you’re not sure how to do something. I also like that you can create multiple pages within a single file. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It isn’t suitable for preparing files for print. It only works in RGB and doesn’t support CMYK mode, and it also lacks Pantone palettes. It tends to crash unexpectedl and becomes slow when there are many linked images. It does not open all vector file formats. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's free, it allows you to create multiple pages within a document, there's plenty of documentation online, and it can be used on multiple platforms. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The software only supports RGB mode and lacks the Pantone palette, which can be limiting. When working with files that contain numerous linked images or a large number of graphic elements, it tends to become sluggish and heavy, and at times it even crashes. Some commands (such as those for polar series and masks) are also somewhat complicated and not very intuitive. Compatibility with other vector formats is limited.

I like that Inkscape is completely free and still gives me access to powerful tools for vector graphics. It’s great for creating logos, icons, and illustrations without needing expensive software. The interface has a lot of familiar tools, so even as a beginner, I can figure out how to use shapes, colors, and text to make designs. I also like that there are many tutorials online, which makes it easier to learn step by step. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes it feels a little slow, especially when I work with larger files. The number of options in the menus can be overwhelming at first, and it takes time to understand where everything is. Also, compared to paid software like Adobe Illustrator, some features feel less polished or harder to find. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really like how easy it is to recreate a customer's vision and clean up images with Inkscape. The quick ability to trace for easy CAD/CAM manipulation simplifies our workflow significantly. It makes accepting custom images and drawings from customers and converting them into patterns for our CNC machines a much smoother process. Inkscape's user-friendliness and straightforward usability make it cost-effective for us, and the initial setup was completely straightforward, with not much of a learning curve.

It is open-source, cross-platform software for the use and management of vectors. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Since I started using it, although it handles vectors, it struggles to work with other types of files like Illustrator, and its export configuration is not entirely clear, sometimes causing the design to export blank. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Although Inkscape is a powerful tool, it has some limitations that can be bothersome:

Less intuitive interface: It can be a bit complex for beginners, with many hidden menus and options.

Performance on large files: It can become slow or crash when handling very complex or detailed projects.

Limited resources for professional printing: It does not offer advanced support for high-precision CMYK colors, which can be an issue in printed graphic materials.

Slower updates: Although it is updated by the community, new features take longer to be implemented compared to paid software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't dislike anything about it. It's excellent. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Even without being an expert in illustration or graphic design the ease of use of Inkscape allows me to tackle projects, from diagrams to charming visual materials; I like the template system because they can be reused, I also like its compatibility with various extensions and the Bezier curves tool with which I can copy any shape quickly and then modify them to my liking, either to schematize processes or customize educational graphics.
