Editor's Review
Inker nails smooth hand-drawn vector creation straight on Android tablets, I tested it for custom logo drafts and comic line art without switching desktop tools. It exports clean SVG and EPS files for graphic designers, comic artists, and tribal pattern creators. Minor file saving glitches hit some Xiaomi and older Android 4.4 devices, but free web tools fix corrupted .ink project files easily.
What' s new ？
New features: - Support for newer devices. - Save and open SVG files (created with Inker). - Color gradients with more than two stops. - Move selection in front of or behind objects. - Set opacity for groups. Bug fixes: - Performance optimizations. - Fixed exporting open SVG paths and strokes. - Fixed opacity export.
Screenshots
Inker is a vector graphics editor designed to simplify sketch inking, logotype, comics, tribal or any other digital drawing. Images created with Inker can be exported to SVG and EPS and used anywhere in the web or imported into popular desktop graphics editors for creating AI or CDR files.
You are recommended to use a stylus and a tablet with screen size comfortable for drawing (at least 7''). If you feel uncomfortable with your device, try the desktop app version.
UPDATE August 28, 2020:
- Dear users. I'm very much sorry for the problems with opening saved files. First of all, please check that your file has "*.ink" extension, not "*.ink (1)". Second problem is, that when file is saved, it doesn't clean the previous content, which in rare cases results in broken JSON (when the new saved file content is smaller than previous). As a quick workaround, please use this utility to fix a broken file https://codepen.io/alexanderby/full/gOrWyJe
Unfortunately I cannot publish an update in the meantime. Sorry for the inconvenience.
PLEASE NOTE:
- Dear Android 4.4 users, you will not be able to export PNG. Update your OS up to Android 5.0 or newer. As a workaround open your INK drawing in web or desktop app version and export there.
- Dear MIUI (Xiaomi) users, your OS has some problems with saving files. Go to Settings - Installed apps - Documents - Enable.
- Try to save and open files before starting a serious project, there can be a device-specific problem when saving a file.
- Cannot draw anything? Finish color setup or click Undo and then Redo.
- You can import SVG shapes like paths, circles etc., but you cannot import clip-paths, masks, filters etc. Do not import large files.
- For setting a stroke color: select a shape, then tap and hold a color.
- Drawing a hole: join two shapes with different direction (clockwise vs anticlockwise).
Good luck!
