About Inkscape
Inkscape creates and edits vector artwork using SVG as its main format. Shape tools, paths, text, and fills support anything from a simple icon to a detailed illustration.
Because the artwork is vector-based, it can scale without becoming pixelated. Official releases include macOS application packages.
