A vector graphics editor is used to compose and edit vector graphics images. There are many popular vector graphics paid editors like Adobe Illustrator, CorelDraw, Xara etc.
Popular vector file formats are EPS, PDF, WMF, SVG, or VML. There are few very good free vector editor software also. Below I have listed three very good free vector editors.
- Inkscape: An Open Source vector graphics editor, with capabilities similar to Illustrator, CorelDraw, or Xara X, using the W3C standard Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) file format.
Inkscape supports many advanced SVG features (markers, clones, alpha blending, etc.) and great care is taken in designing a streamlined interface. It is very easy to edit nodes, perform complex path operations, trace bitmaps and much more. We also aim to maintain a thriving user and developer community by using open, community-oriented development.
- Creative Docs .NET: Creative Docs .NET is a vector-based graphic design tool with support for rich text, ideal to quickly write short documents, manuals, posters, illustrations, schemas, plans, flow charts, and much more.
The interface is tailored for high productivity: it does never get in your way. Creative Docs .NET tools are simple, yet powerful. All styles and attributes can be modified interactively with a minimum number of mouse clicks. A color gradient, for instance, can be modified directly by dragging its handles in the document window.
- DrawPlus: Impressive drawing tools and brilliant effects are just a couple of clicks away with DrawPlus Starter Edition, our stunning free vector drawing.
