About Graphite
Graphite is a free, open source 2D content creation app for vector and raster graphics, available in alpha as an online editor. It began as a vector editor and is evolving into a broader graphics toolbox for graphic design, digital art, and interactive real-time motion graphics.
The editor combines a fully nondestructive workflow with layer-based compositing and a node-based generative design core. Its tools wrap the node graph engine to provide workflows for vector, raster, and procedural drawing. Planned competencies include photo editing, motion graphics, digital painting, desktop publishing, and VFX compositing.
Graphite is 100% community built and funded, with code contributions licensed under Apache 2.0 unless specific directories use other licenses such as dual MIT and Apache 2.0. The current public editor runs on the web at editor.graphite.art.
