How to vectorize images using the free tool Inkscape
Advertisement
Inkscape is an open source vector graphics editor similar to apps like Adobe Illustrator, Freehand, CorelDraw, and Xara X. This program lets you convert any sketch or drawing into a professional piece that's ready to be published on any website or in print.
With this program, you can create your own vector graphics from scratch, as well as import images in any format to work on them. Inkscape supports all the most common formats, such as PNG, JPG, BMP, and TIFF. When you're finished with a project, you can save it in SVG to continue working on it in the future, or you can export it in tons of different formats, such as PNG, PDF, DXF, or EPS.
The amount of tools included on Inkscape is so great that it would be impossible to list them one by one. In the left menu, you'll find all the editing and drawing tools for creating shapes or drawing by hand. In the right menu, on the other hand, you'll find tools for managing layers and grouping, cloning, or duplicating objects. There are also lots of interesting filters you can try from the upper menu.
Inkscape is a drawing and design tool as powerful as it is easy to use, thanks to which you can create professional projects on your desktop computer with nothing more than your keyboard and mouse. This program also has a huge community of users who are constantly contributing tips and tricks on the official forums and channels.
