Graphite

Product Overview

Graphite is a modern, open-source vector graphics editor with a unique node-based workflow. Unlike traditional vector editors that use a layer-based approach, Graphite uses a Blender-inspired node graph for non-destructive, procedural editing. Features include node-based compositing, procedural vector graphics, advanced path editing, SVG support, GPU-accelerated rendering, and a web-based interface. Built in Rust for performance, it offers both a web version and native desktop builds. Particularly innovative for its use of node graphs for vector design, enabling complex procedural effects that would be difficult in traditional editors.
