Where it stands
We have no measurements for Inkscape yet: its website has not been measured and its own pages have not been read for facts, so there is no signals score.
Built only from what we can measure or quote without using the tool. How ranking works

“I don't know why you are downvoted for your opinion, but totally agree that Inkscape is pretty low quality and buggy as well. On the Mac specifically the experience is so 1990s and un-macOS (yeah I know, it's an X app) I…”

- Where files go
- Inkscape is a software that does not collect or transmit any personal information, and it accesses files on the user's device for the purpose of opening them. The page says: “Inkscape, as a software, does not, in any way, collect or transmit any Personal Information (or any information at all).. Caveat. Inkscape may access your Linux, Mac or Windows username e.g. C:\Users\Bob\ for the purpose of opening the files you want to open with it, like any application.”
From the tool's own pages, checked 2026-11-08. Sources: Privacy. Prices and limits change; check the tool before you rely on them.
Read automatically by a program, not by a person. Each fact quotes the sentence it came from, and a fact is shown only if that sentence is on the page. Where a page did not say, it reads “Not stated.”

We check its official pages every week. If they change, we tell you, so you can see if the price or limits moved. No other email, and one click stops it.
