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! :)
Couldn't agree more!
@@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
@@cekuhnen It has all of those tools, the only issue is that they are quite hidden.
Inkscape has definitely been closing the gap, especially with Inkscape 1.3 just being released.
Big fan..love to watch your videos
agreed, too bad it's not stable enough for illustration heavy and or tablet workflows.
❤
I started with Illustrator many decades ago, now I use Inkscape and I love it. I try to avoid anything Adobe, it's not a good company.
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
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
Forgot to mention that Adobe inspie on us.
Inkscape now also has a Shape Builder tool :)
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
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.
Happily that feature is here! I'm really glad they added the feature, it has never been easier to do logos
Why didn't I know that this channel gives very useful tutorials!! 😭
Inkscape has a Shape builder tool now in update 1.3 🎉
I cant create guilloche patter in illustrator can you suggest me any software for guilloche design
I use both, also CMYK is currently being worked for Inkscape, overhauling the code and making it cleaner when this is released this truly will give a fantastic reason to use Inkscape 👍 even more
Martin Owens, an Inkscape Features designer, just posted an update concerning color on his UA-cam the other day. Things are definitely looking up.
the answer vary person to person, depending on how comfortable the individual feel with the tool.
Now looking for GIMP vs PS of the raster gfx software 🤔
So, inkscape for everything, and illustrator if you really need to export for printing? Nice ^^
In CorelDraw there was more functionality and possibilities, when in Illustrator there was no idea to put them yet.
Ur right, CorelDraw has more usable tools, plus it is more compatible than inkscape...
plus in CorelDraw you can set 1 tool for one key shortcut without using Alt or ctrl or shift
Great video. I’ll dump AI and try Inkscape.
Inkscape has a Shape Builder tool now.
1.3 came out and for the price you pay I have to say Inkscape all the way. Converting the rgb to cmyk ehh can be worked out. I can’t overlook the stuff you can do now with 1.3
Affinity and CorelDraw 👊🏻
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.
INKSCAPE INKSCAPE INKSCAPE all the way. AI cannot compete with the latest version of Inkscape and it also has a very large plugin and extension repository. INKSCAPE DRAW FREELY will always be FREE . And Gimp has left Photoshop in dust many years ago.
Inkscape is the best ❤️
inkscape, support free and open source software
inkspace you are awesome
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 is the best for mayor works
Ai file formats don’t play well with laser systems, svg works well there.
why dont you ever show corel draw?
If there's enough demand for it, we will look into adding more content on it. Is there something in particular you're wanting to learn?
@@envatotutsCorelDraw is years ahead of Illustrator in many things. I don't know why people still want to do things on Illustrator when it requires many steps more than CorelDraw and the result is the same.
@@envatotuts We want advance tutorial. ✨
@@qsfrankfurt9513 coreldraw free??
Inkscape ❤❤❤
Inscape for sure.
Adobe requires cloud internet access.
I dont use internet dependent software anymore.
Stopped using autocad also.
What do you use for autocad then?
If you like rentware, there is only one choice.
Inkscape my choice
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.
Oh wow! Thanks for the tip.
Inkscape is ok but the UI is a cluttered mess
considering time of development and funding, Illustrated should be far, far ahead of Inkscape regarding features.
Inkscape won the battle.
Overall explanation- Inkscape for Generalist and Illustrator is for specialist.
What sort of specialist, and why?
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...
