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.

Art takes shape
Make vector art out of shapes ranging from simple geometric primitives to complex Bézier curves.
Style your shapes with strokes, fills, and gradients. Mix your layers with blend modes. Then export as SVG.

Co-createIdeateIllustrateGenerateIterate with Imaginate
Imaginate is a node powered by Stable Diffusion that makes AI-assisted art creation an easy, nondestructive process.
Make it stylish
Magically reimagine your vector drawings in a fresh new style. Just place an Imaginate frame over your layers and describe how it should end up looking.

Support the mission
You can help realize Graphite's ambitious vision of building the ultimate 2D creative tool. Graphite is built by a small, dedicated crew of volunteers in need of resources to grow.
Summer 2023 fundraising goal:
Become a monthly supporter this summer to collect an exclusive 💚 badge. Each season you support, a new heart design is yours to keep. In the future, they'll be shown on Graphite account profiles and community areas like forums and in-app collaboration.
Powerful proceduralism
The data-driven approach to design affords unique capabilities that are presently in-development.
Fully nondestructive editing with node-driven layers
Infinitely scalable raster content with no pixelation
Integrates generative AI models and graphics algorithms
Procedural pipelines for studio production environments
One app to rule them all
Stop jumping between programs. Planned features will make Graphite a first-class design tool for these disciplines (listed by priority):
Graphic Design
Image Editing
Digital Painting
Desktop Publishing
VFX Compositing
Motion Graphics
Get involved
The Graphite project could not exist without its community. Building its ambitious and versatile feature set will require contributions from developers, designers, technical experts, creative professionals, and eagle-eyed bug hunters. Help build the future of digital art.
