About Graphite

Graphite is a free, open source vector graphics editor and animation engine. It is in alpha. Its editing workflow is nondestructive and combines layer-based compositing with node-based generative design, so changes are tied to parameters that can be adjusted later. The homepage describes the current release as a lightweight offline web app focused mainly on procedural vector editing. Desktop apps for Windows, Mac, and Linux are described as being in a release candidate stage, and the web app can be installed as a PWA.

The homepage lists raster manipulation, live collaborative editing, and a broader set of 2D tools as upcoming features rather than current ones. Some node-system features, such as compiling standalone programs and deploying asset pipelines, are marked as future. The homepage also states that Graphite runs locally on the user's own hardware and does not use a server. Its newsletter and donation options are separate external services.
