Inkscape
Free and open source vector graphics editor for Windows, Mac, & Linux
Inkscape is a free and open-source vector graphics editor available on GNU/Linux, Windows, and macOS. It provides a powerful set of tools for creating both artistic and technical illustrations, including cartoons, logos, typography, diagrams, and flowcharts. Unlike raster graphics, Inkscape uses vector graphics, allowing images to be scaled infinitely without losing quality. The software’s primary format is the standardized SVG file, which ensures compatibility with many other programs and web browsers. Inkscape supports importing and exporting a wide range of formats such as AI, EPS, PDF, PS, and PNG. Its user-friendly interface and multilingual support make it accessible to a global audience, while its extensible architecture allows users to customize functionality via add-ons. Backed by a vibrant international community, Inkscape offers plenty of tutorials and support resources for users at all levels. Licensed under the GPL, it is maintained by contributors worldwide. -

Graphite
An open source graphics editor for 2025
Graphite is a modern, open-source, prototyping and design tool built for vector graphics, motion, and state-driven UIs. It combines traditional vector drawing capabilities with features like animation timelines, state machines, and interactive prototyping—all in one toolchain rather than separate apps. The interface supports layering, boolean operations, masks, and full node-based parametric controls for shapes and effects. Because it’s built to be extendable, plugin support allows importing/exporting formats, custom tools, or integrations with code frameworks. It also focuses on performance and scalability—handling complex vector scenes with many nested elements fluidly. For designers and developers looking to prototype UI transitions, interactive states, and motion-driven interfaces without separate design/code handoffs, Graphite positions itself as an all-in-one creative engine. -

tilemaker
Make OpenStreetMap vector tiles without the stack
Create the vector tiles on your home machine or using a cloud CPU. Upload the file to your site or app. And that's it. No database to maintain; no contract to pay; and no restriction on commercial use. tilemaker is a single executable that takes OpenStreetMap data and makes it into vector tiles. It's supremely customizable, but if you just want off-the-shelf tiles in a standard style, tilemaker comes bundled with the files to do that too. With tilemaker, you can pull out any facet of OpenStreetMap's rich data. Make a walking map, a city map, a National Park map, and a cycling map. Use the Lua scripting language to select OSM tags and encode them into vector tile values. Or just use the pre-prepared scripts shipped with tilemaker. -

LaTeXDraw
Vector drawing program for LaTeX using PSTricks
LaTeXDraw is a graphical drawing editor for LaTeX. LaTeXDraw can be used to 1) generate PSTricks code; 2) directly create PDF or PS pictures. -

FidoCadJ
Simple and intuitive 2D vector drawing for electronics and not only.
A multiplatform vector drawing program with a complete library of electronic symbols. Schematics and drawings are stored in a very compact text format. There is no netlist concept behind the drawings (so no simulation, and this is a choice) but this allows a great graphical flexibility and ease of use, making FidoCadJ the perfect tool for exchange sketches in forum and newsgroup discussions with a few clicks. Drawings can be exported in several graphic formats, such as pdf. Follow the development live on Twitter: https://twitter.com/davbucci -

Planetiler
Flexible tool to build planet-scale vector tilesets
Planetiler (pla·nuh·tai·lr, formerly named "Flatmap") is a tool that generates Vector Tiles from geographic data sources like OpenStreetMap. Planetiler aims to be fast and memory-efficient so that you can build a map of the world in a few hours on a single machine without any external tools or database. Vector tiles contain raw point, line, and polygon geometries that clients like MapLibre can use to render custom maps in the browser, native apps, or on a server. Planetiler packages tiles into an MBTiles (SQLite) or PMTiles file that can be served using tools like TileServer GL or Martin or even queried directly from the browser. See awesome-vector-tiles for more projects that work with data in this format. Planetiler works by mapping input elements to vector tile features, flattening them into a big list, and then sorting by tile ID to group them into tiles. -

AutoREALM
Vector based drawing software designed for RPGs
AutoREALM is a free role-playing game mapping program originally made by Andrew Gryc. This program is an excellent mapping program that can design castles, caves, cities, dungeons and more. New developers are more than welcome! Previously, development were using Delphi language. Some attempts to rewrite it in other languages were done, but currently (since January 2012) there is an attempt or rewrite using those technologies: _ C++11 _ wxWidgets 2.9 (will be 3.0 when it will be released) _ openGL _ pluma framework (a fixed version located on bitbucket) The design of the actual C++ code-base primarily targets clean source code and high modularity of source code, to allow easy reuse of the code and fast learning for people who might join the effort. Current development is located on https://bitbucket.org/bmorel/autorealm . Howerver, older repositories are still here in case someone would like to consult them, and to allow easy access to algorithms they might contain. -

SVGO
Node.js tool for optimizing SVG files
SVG Optimizer is a Node.js-based tool for optimizing SVG vector graphics files. SVG files, in particular those exported from multiple editors, normally contain tons of redundant and useless information. This can include editor metadata, comments, hidden elements, default or non-optimal values and other stuff that can be safely removed or converted without affecting the SVG rendering result. Some options can be configured with CLI though it may be easier to have the configuration in a separate file. SVGO has a plugin-based architecture, so almost every optimization is a separate plugin. -
