Inkscape 2026 — vector editor free tốt nhất
Inkscape là vector graphics editor mã nguồn mở tốt nhất 2026 — từ 2003, 20+ năm phát triển. SVG native (chuẩn W3C), import AI/EPS/PDF từ Adobe Illustrator. Feature đầy đủ: bezier pen, node editor, typography, pattern, live path effects, extensions Python. Cross-platform Windows/Mac/Linux. Miễn phí GPL. Thay thế Adobe Illustrator ($23/tháng) cho 85% use case designer VN. Version 1.4 (2024-2025) thêm: multi-page document, font collection, paste in place.
Nhược điểm so Illustrator: UX đôi chỗ kém polish, performance chậm hơn với file lớn (>5MB SVG), CMYK support qua plugin (không native). Pro printing workflow khuyến khích Adobe/Affinity.
