About

DrawPad Graphic Design and Drawing features pencil and brush tools, raster and vector images, image layers for non-destructive editing, and effects such as bevels and shadows. Easily Draw and Create Graphic Images. Create banner ads, invitations, paintings, and much more! Editing features include crop, rotate, resize, and flip. DrawPad is ideal for creating images, drawings, and sketches. DrawPad also supports png, jpg, gif, pdf, and svg formats.

About

Whether you are an illustrator, designer, web designer or just someone who needs to create some vector imagery, Inkscape is for you! The design process may begin by doodles on a napkin, a sketched mindmap, a photo of a memorable object, or a mockup in software which really wouldn't work to complete the project. Inkscape can take you from this stage to a final, professional-grade design format which is ready for publication on the web or in physical form. Inkscape is free! By this, we mean it is free of cost, free to use and distribute, and open to peek into the source code.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • This was a great company four years ago when I purchased a lifetime license. Could use Pixillion in conjunction with DrawPad to convert to pdf files to jpeg, etc. Was able to have a hard disk copy of DrawPad for the lifetime license, which was great.
  • You can draw whatever you want with quality tools and very effective results, and a precise and detailed picture is made. It is not only amazing but also gives you a high-quality, smooth image or drawing.

Cons

  • Just upgraded my pc and had to buy another DrawPad for half price. Why? I had already purchased a lifetime license for that program. No customer service any longer, a support purchase must be purchased to talk to live people or send emails with no responses. This was a five star company four years ago. Now it is such a poor company that it can only get a 1 star review. I have a small business and that was the reason I bought a lifetime license for DrawPad as my profit margin is extremely low and I had access to live customer service and tech help...no more is that true.
  • It is one of the finest applications globally and has tons of tools, and there is nothing to complain about.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

  • *Very User-Friendly & easy to learn *You can import graphics files (PDF,AI etc.) of other software as well. *New version 1.0 also has CMYK support *Awesome community on Facebook.
