Gravit Designer is a cross-platform vector graphics program, Mac/Linux/Win/ChromeOS

Gravit Designer is a cross-platform vector graphics program.

In the past I’ve recommended Boxy SVG as a way to edit vector files on Chromebooks. Boxy SVG works pretty well, but it doesn’t have near the features that Gravit Designer includes.

Gravit Designer is a cross-platform tool that runs on Windows, macOS, Linux, ChromeOS, and in the browser. Apps for Android and iPads are coming soon. It is an offline app on Chromebooks, which means students can use it without a network connection.
