Description:
Graphite is an effort to unify
illustration, raster editing, desktop publishing, and animation in one
browser-based application. The project has been in development since
2020 and announced its first alpha release in 2022. According to creator 
Keavon Chambers , the project's mission is to become
" the 2D counterpart to Blender ", by bringing a node-based,
non-destructive workflow to 2D graphics. The project, currently still in
alpha, is a long way from complete; but it is worth testing for anyone
involved with open-source-graphics production. Current
builds , from September 2025, include vector-illustration tools, a
node-based compositor, and early brush tooling, with broader pixel-based-
and photo-editing work still in progress.
