In this video, we’ll take a look at the advantages and disadvantages of Inkscape vs. Illustrator. We’ll check things out from multiple angles too, such as Inkscape vs. Illustrator for beginners and Adobe Illustrator Live Trace vs. Inkscape Trace Bitmap.
Both of these tools have tons of potential, and there are many reasons to give both a try. Inkscape-Illustrator compatibility is something to consider too, as both can work with files like SVG. ‌
How much does Inkscape cost? Well, Inkscape is free vector graphics software, whereas Adobe Illustrator has a monthly subscription. As you might expect, this means Inkscape has fewer features than Illustrator, but don’t underestimate Inkscape. It’s quite feature-rich for its price tag. Likewise, don’t cancel your Illustrator subscription just yet. Illustrator has many pros that can make that price tag worth it for your workflow.‌

Inkscape sounds like Blender from 3d world :D These open source softwares make me excited and proud. I feel power of open source communities! :)

@@envatotutswirh the difference that Blender is commercial grade now. Inkscape still lacks polish and tools. For example live clipping / masking / Boolean’s it lacks. But it really matured lately

Main Difference here: Adobe Ilustrator: Rental, requires a strong computer to run, only run if your job demands it Affinity Designer: Pay once, and the copy is yours. Inkscape: Free as In freedoom, can run on weaker computers. Inkscape 1.3 now has the shapebuilder tool and a lot more :D

Yeah, the problem for me is that they are very expensive. I could afford maybe one program but all of them are just overpriced. I was thinking about adobe illutrator and inkscape, adobe seems easier to learn but I am not sure

Inkscape is a very powerful and complete vector software once you understand the logic behind it. I've been using it professionnally for several years now and it keeps improving at each new release.

Adobe Illustrator, CorelDraw, Affinity Designer and Inkscape each has its own big advantages. That's why it's hard to choose when you know it. Would be better if you just pick one and work on it

@hasibmahadi8858 Жыл бұрын

Inkscape is soon going to introduce shape builder, the development version 1.3 already has it. Again trace bitmap is far more developed now. The bitmap feature you showed is from the previous versions.

Brushes, brushes, brushes... for professionals, that's the real deal breaker. How good are the brushes? That a paid-for-package like Affinity Designer doesn't have true vector brushes... is near criminal.

Adobe software was good when they were selling a permanent license for single owners, this monthly license is a trick to make more money. Everybody can't pay that so inkscape is a better solution for independent graphics designer like me

Inkscape can open .Ai file . But with a small trick . First you will need to rename the .Ai file to .pdf. After that inkscape will recognize this pdf and can open the file in an editable environment. Then you'll just need to save the file in a regular inkscape SVG file to continue working on it.

Inkscape can run on a Linux GUI version that is running via a terminal emulator named termux on a arm64 based Android system with around 4GB of ram 😂 . It means inkscape can even run on a Android phone with decent performance! In this scenario Adobe illustrator can't ever beat inkscape...
