The best graphics and design apps. Chosen by the community.
62 graphics and design apps, chosen by the community. Top of this view: GraphicConverter 12 — #29 overall. The overall rank spans all apps and changes with every vote. How the ranking works →
Graphics and design apps run from a sketchbook to prepress: illustration, layout, vector drawing, 3D, prototyping, type. People searching here often have a file format in mind that has to come out at the end.

Much is decided by exactly that. Which formats can the app import and export, and does it keep what needs keeping — layers, paths, fonts, colour profiles? Does it handle CMYK when something goes to print? Is there a usable version history and a way back when something goes wrong? For drawing, how precisely pen pressure and tilt are implemented matters as well. Anyone working in a team should also check how files are handed over and whether reviewers need the same software to open them. And on price the category splits clearly: there are capable one-off purchases, open source alternatives, and subscriptions that only pay off above a certain level of use.
The order follows community votes. Nobody buys their way forward here; sponsored entries are labelled and stay outside the ranking.
