2D raster & vector editor that melds traditional layers & tools with a modern node-based, non-destructive, procedural workflow.

Redefining state-of-the-art graphics editing

Graphite is an in-development raster and vector graphics package that's free and open source. It is powered by a node graph compositing engine that fuses layers with nodes, providing a fully nondestructive editing experience.

Presently, Graphite is a lightweight vector graphics editor that runs in your browser. Its node-based compositor lets you apply image effects and co-create art with generative AI.

Photo editing, digital painting, desktop publishing, VFX compositing, and motion graphics are additional competencies planned on the roadmap to make Graphite a highly versatile content creation tool.

Launch the latest alpha release of the Graphite editor and learn more at the project website.
