Inkscape is an open source vector graphics editor. Its goal is to implement full support for the Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) 1.1 standard.[2] The word Inkscape is a portmanteau of the words ink and landscape.[3]

Inkscape is cross-platform[4] and runs on OS X, Unix-like operating systems, and Microsoft Windows.
