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.

About

Photon Studio is a free desktop photo-editing and design application for photographers, retouchers, illustrators, and other creative users working with raster images. It provides layered editing, selections, masks, retouching, color and RAW adjustments, filters, text, vector shapes, artboards, and batch actions. The application opens and saves PSD and PSB files with layers and supports common image formats, familiar Photoshop-style tools, and keyboard shortcuts. AI-assisted selections and background removal run locally on the user's computer. Photon supports offline workflows, a command-line interface, and an MCP server that lets compatible coding assistants and agents work with documents. Available for macOS, Windows, and Linux, it stores files locally and does not require an account for normal use. Photon is suitable for personal and commercial creative work.
