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.

Features

  • Combined vector & raster editing workflows within one tool, allowing mixed media editing
  • Node-based procedural editing, for generative design and parametric effects
  • Nondestructive editing: changes via layers or nodes rather than permanently altering source content
  • Support for real-time motion graphics and interactive effects on canvas
  • Mixed set of tools for layout, painting, image processing, design publishing etc (roadmap includes desktop publishing, VFX compositing)
  • Open source, community built, with cross-platform build tooling (Rust / front-end) and demo/artwork assets included
