Graphite is a free, open‑source 2D graphics suite that combines vector and raster editing with a node‑based procedural engine. It runs as a web app and native desktop clients on Windows, macOS and Linux.
Use cases
- Create vector illustrations with nondestructive editing
- Edit photos and raster images using procedural layers
- Design motion graphics and animated 2D content
- Generate complex patterns and effects with node‑based workflows
- Lay out print‑ready page designs and magazine spreads
- Prototype UI assets and icons quickly
- Collaborate on design projects across platforms
When to choose
- You need a free, cross‑platform tool that supports both vector and raster workflows.
- You want a procedural, node‑based approach for complex graphics and animations.
- You prefer an open‑source solution with community‑driven development.
- You require a nondestructive editing pipeline similar to VFX compositing.
When to avoid
- You rely on industry‑standard Photoshop or Illustrator features that are not yet implemented.
- You need a fully stable, production‑ready suite with long‑term support guarantees.
- Your work involves 3D modeling or advanced raster effects beyond the current alpha capabilities.
