Open source graphics encompass a variety of creative software tools that provide users with the freedom to create, modify, and share their designs. These tools include raster graphics applications like GIMP, vector graphics software such as Inkscape, and animation programs like Synfig and Blender. The open-source approach means better quality, reliability, and flexibility while avoiding vendor lock-in. Learn about the essential programs and how you can utilize them for 2D and 3D graphics, as well as animation. Explore the resources available for open designs.
