Image and graphic design tools create and edit raster photos, vector illustrations and layout graphics such as posters, social posts and slides. Listings include layered desktop editors, browser-based editors that run without installation, SVG editors, converters that trace bitmaps into vectors and template canvases with brand kits and real-time co-editing. Interface prototyping and diagramming have their own subcategories, so this one focuses on pixels, paths and finished visuals.
