What Businesses Get Back from Inkscape

Flexibility in choosing your platform

Inkscape is available on Windows, MacOS, and GNU/Linux. Very few professional-grade design and illustration programs can make this claim. That gives you the freedom to build your business on the operating system of your choice, or to work on a variety of platforms according to the choice of your employees.

Freedom to access your own work

Inkscape uses SVG, an open file format. The Scalable Vector Graphics format is an open standard developed by the W3C and adopted by tech giants like Google, Microsoft, and Apple. It is supported by everything from web browsers to CAD/CAM software. This gives you the freedom to open designs created in Inkscape in numerous applications, and the confidence your files will be accessible long into the future.

Shelter from commercial shenanigans

Inkscape is created by the community and for the community. The only commercial motives are by individuals employed to create specific features community members need. This means your investment developing workflows using Inkscape can be free from worries about vendor lock-in, licensing changes, or rate-hikes.

Confidence in your future

Inkscape is open-source and freely licensed. That ensures that the software belongs to the world, and will not disappear following an acquisition by a competitor or change in commercial priorities. It means you are free to use Inkscape, and access the files you create in Inkscape, forever.

Satisfaction in doing good

Inkscape does social good. It is made available free-of-charge, and asks in return only what its users can afford to contribute. It has fueled the creativity of students in underfunded schools, talented artists of every background, and entrepreneurs with only modest means but great ambitions. Giving to Inkscape not only benefits your business, but benefits the lives of countless others at the same time.

Contributions to the Inkscape project are possible at levels ranging from $500 to $10,000 per year. Donations are tax-deductible in the United States. These provide graduating levels of recognition and visible on the Inkscape website. Most importantly these donations secure priceless the benefits described in this article for yourself and others.
