If you tried to sell you Inkscape-made SVG vector files, you know that Stock selling websites want only EPS proprietary format files. So, we need to use a workflow to export EPS files in the correct way.Īre you in Stock Photography? Would you like to sell Vector files? Do you love Opensource and Inkscape? Unfortunately, all the stock vector websites accept only EPS files and not SVG files. It is the standard interchange format in the print industry and it is widely supported as an export format, but not all programs that claim to support EPS are able to export valuable files of it. The SVG specification is an open standard developed by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) since 1999.ĮPS, or Encapsulated PostScript, is Adobe’s proprietary format, but also the most common vector image format in the Apple and Windows world. SVG is a world standard: Scalable Vector Graphics is an XML-based vector image format for two-dimensional graphics with support for interactivity and animation.

Apart from what I think, with Inkscape, an artist can create most of the same illustrations that can be made with Adobe Illustrator.

Inkscape is absolutely the best program for vector graphics, in my opinion far superior also to Adobe Illustrator. Vector graphics is a resolution-independent description of the actual shapes and objects that you see in the image.

In contrast to raster (also called ‘bitmap’) graphics editors such as Photoshop or GIMP, Inkscape stores its graphics in a vector format.
