Inkscape VS Illustrator | Updated Comparison for 2024

Показать описание

A few years ago I uploaded a video to YouTube comparing the differences between Inkscape and Adobe Illustrator, but a lot has changed since then. Inkscape has grown by leaps and bounds and Illustrator continues to raise the bar while leading the charge on AI, so now seems like a fitting time for an updated comparison.

I have used both Illustrator and CorelDraw at work since they were first developed (and I didn't have to pay for them). Since I retired, I cannot (read: will not) pay the crazy prices for for either product. Inkscape has been a Godsend. It does everything that I have needed it to do - as a fairly high-end hobbiest. Without doubt, some things are a little more elegant in AI and CD, but nothing that is worth the money for me. Great video! Thanks for affirming my decision and a **HUGE THANKS** to the Inkscape folks for what you do for old retired guys like me.

Thank you for mentioning that Adobe spies on us and collects data on us, but Inkscape does not. This is the first time I have ever seen that important point being mentioned in a tech review.

I love Inkscape, can't wait for a CMYK update, although I've used inky for many printing projects anyways lol, in the end you always need to do a test print to check the colors and most printings shops don't care if your file is in RGB, it's a common thing nowadays with the popularization of Canva too!

Also, am I the only one who feels like Adobe is just adding a bunch of features that just doesn't seem that necessary? Like how I see with photoshop, it feels like it wants to be the everything app, and with illustrator too, like they are adding all these things just to show how innovative they are, using AI everywhere. But to me feels like cars manufactures nowadays, there are no new improvements we need in them, but they keep making new cars cause they got to sell, so new cars have dumb and not really useful "new" features, ya know?

Year by year the comparison videos get shorter and shorter, and at this pace, Inkscape will be an industry-standard in no time!

I have been using Inkscape for about 2 years now and have seen most (or all) of your YT content. Seems like every video I learn something new! I realized I really should thank you for that. Signed up for your Master Class modules today. Thanks again!

Inkscape and Illustrator compared in less than 5 minutes. This is a fantastic overview of both applications and the use/business cases for both.

I ❤ InkScape, Adobe can go kick rocks.

I've never used anything Adobe (other than Photoshop for school), so it's good to get perspective on what things look like on the Adobe side of things.

Forgot to mention that they're already working for the CMYK integration :)

I haven’t used illustrator in years. I just used cc until I couldn’t. Inkscape has everything built in. The warp tools for fonts and the halftone screens, I remember having to buy 😂plugins for illustrator! The tools in Inkscape are absolutely amazing! I’m still studying it but if they can get cmyk support I’ll say goodbye to windows and paid services for good!

At the beginning of this video there is a brief shot of a lined ( looks like an object under notebook paper) effect. It's just before the pink Ying yang sign. Do you have a tutorial for this effect?

It is a bummer Adobe tracks info, but it is nice to be able to transfer works between Adobe products.

the CMYK thing is still bizarre for me after all this years but i know it is what is used in printing. strange that usually we use vector drawing design to be printed and it has issue on inkscape. but i'm still on inkscape side because linux and FOSS.
