First step of my journey to learn to make cute emojis. 😃

Made eyes from circles. Mouth using bezier tool. I wonder if there's a better way to do the mouth 🤔

The mirror tool is kind of difficult.. 😞

Hi I opened one of my inkscape file because I needed to chance something but everytime I try to create a new layer inkscape keeps crashing , I don't have the issues with new files or any other svg file I had already (embroidery or not)

It is a file with an embroidery design but saved as an svg for now if that changes anythings

here is the backtrace that I get after the crash:

Inkscape 1.4 (86a8ad7, 2024-10-11)

Does anyone know a good SVG compressor? I have tried a lot of compressors this week but none of them work as they take forever to upload and compress.

I have some SVGs that I converted from PDF and they are big in size, like 25MB-50MB, so working with them as they are is making inkscape lag so much that I can't even edit the text after placing them on the canvas, let alone do anything else!

Maybe Im doing something wrong with the SVGs?If any of you know any solution to this it would help me a lot as I am stuck with this problem for days and can't advance further in my project.

Thanks in advance!

I hope it’s ok to post here. It might be more so an adobe acrobat issue (which I will cross post) but maybe someone here as also gotten this issue!

Working with version 1.1 1) Inkscape 2) Adobe Acrobat 3) What was printed out

So hey ya’ll. I love Inkscape but I’ve always had this problem: certain curves in .svg saved as .pdf and then printed (in poster mode), come out jagged. Any thoughts?

I've encountered with weird ahh gradient fill ui glitch. Any reasons? (I swear, I didn't clicked anywhere!)

p.s. even if I clicked, this thing disappears out of the blue

I have imported some png files into Inkscape. What I want to do is a add a link to them. The problem is that they are not rectanglar and so have parts of the image that are transparent.

When I add links, they apply to the whole of the rectanglar images but I just want to apply them to the actual image.

I had thought of drawing transparent shapes over them and adding the links to those. Befre I do that, I thought I would check here that thare isn't some way of removing the transparent parts of hte images that I have missed.

In case you're wondering why I'm doing this, it's because I have been playing around with image maps and thought an SVG would be a good alternative - https://brisray.com/web/imagemaps.htm

Hi all,

New to Inkscape and have only dabbled in graphic design of this kind. I'm making an app icon, simple film reel design.

Even just drawing a circle at the 57x57 scale produces more of a jagged look than the smoothness I see in pro app icons.

I have taken off anti-aliasing, as I read this contributes to blurriness in small scale images. Any tips on making it look sharp, smooth, etc?

I installed Inkscape on my M1 Mac, no problem there.

I installed it on my older i5 Intel Mac, OS 10.15, but it launches, and after a minute, says "...encountered an internal error, closing... and shuts down. Ive tried 1.4 (current) and 1.2.2, both do it.

Before I spend hours on this - is there a known version that works with Mac 10.15? Has anyone else been using 1.4 on a Mac OS from around then?

TIA

Which do you like better? Also is there any way I could get this into an art gallery or generally seen by more people? I'm trying to build an art career but I'm really frustrated :/

I can't seem to find the text spacing/kerning on the newest version. Where did this go?

Hello everyone, I am trying to recreating a conveyor belt graphic in inkscape. I am looking to make it so that as I extend the graphic, it redraws itself with the maximum number of rollers that can fit in that space. I also need each roller to have it's own individual gradient. I have had some success with the first part but using the 'pattern along path' feature under path effects, however it won't copy the gradient as well.

Is there a way to get the gradient into pattern so that it will be copied every time the roller graphic is copied? Or is there a better way of doing all of this. I've attached some pictures below of the roller graphic and what I would like the finished product to look like.

Any help or tips is greatly appreciated!

I can treat groups just like a layer, moving things around in z space. I know what the intent is and how the docs describe them, but functionally I don't see the difference.

I would like to know if Inkscape has a similar function to Illustrator artboards?

The truth is that I love Inkscape but the main drawback I have is that at university they force me to use Illustrator and I really can't afford it. And to crack it I prefer better to use alternatives, and inkescape is the best for me but the Licensee doesn't want me to use it and forces me to use the format. ai for tasks.

I used the Perspective/Envelope path effect and now, whenever I try to draw a line, the pattern I was trying to put into perspective shows up. Even if I select the pattern I made while trying to draw the line, and remove the effects manually, the pattern comes back but just not in perspective. I'm haunted by these rectangles. I selected remove apth effects, no help. Please. Help. I just want to draw lines again and my pen tool won't let me anymore :(

Cross posted. I have no idea what's going on, this is an image upload, it should be just uploading the image, not changing the font. You can't even change the font in an image on Canva normally. It's not even changing it slightly, the font is way, way different. The font in Inkscape is Bodoni 72 but idk what it is in Canva. Does anybody know what's going on?

Hello, i need some help, not sure if this is the right subreddit but I hope so. So I have a task that i need to draw some shapes for a physics related project, basically a laser "drawing" across the lines I drew. So the laser software is only opening in dxf, but whenever I convert the svg file to dxf viewer, all my widths are the same simple lines, how do I keep the width that I set in inkscape?

I tried the ctrl+alt+c where it coverts them to paths. But then in dxf format it looks not as a thick line, but as 2 lines separated with the width i set.

Anyone know any solutions, or is that basically what I need

Hi. I'm trying to install the Synth Panels Designer extension. Despite claiming support for OS X, Windows, and Linux, the install instructions for it don't have a Linux section*, and the generic tutorials I've found are telling me there should be an inkscape folder inside

Ubuntu / usr / share

but it doesn't exist. Inkscape is installed, and I've confirmed that it runs.

TYIA

*I don't think I'll have any luck trying to contact the people that wrote the extension. The download link (https://synthpanels.design/#download) just goes to a "Site is offline" placeholder, and has for at least a week. I had to grab the extension off Github.

And it doesn't display fill color or stroke color changing

I have been trying for a while but I just can’t figure out how to break the connection and make a “hole” between these points. I want the space between the red lines to be white. I’m kind of new to this program so I know my lingo isn’t very accurate. If anyone can help it would be an amazing help tho!
