I switch between multiple machines and setups so not having to reinstall and/or be tied to one platform is important to me, and honestly, using Fireworks and Local for Wordpress are the only reasons I’m stuck going back to Windows at the end of the day.

You lose the freedom that comes with SaaS and being in the cloud.

So bottom line, Gravit’s amazing smoothness as a web-based product gets weighed down by being tied to dependencies on something else to do your bitmap manipulation.

But if I then need something else to manipulate bitmaps, like Affinity Photo, I’m limited to Windows/Mac because it doesn’t install on ChromeOS. Ex: if I use Gravit, then I can use it on a Chromebook. If it’s on your local machine, you then lose the brilliance of being platform-agnostic and also being in the cloud.

The other image manipulation software may or may not be web-based, and may or may not even be reliable.

The issue with this of course is that you lose the amazingness of Gravit’s web/cloud freedom. Yes I can have multiple different pieces of software open to arrive at the end solution. If I could pick and choose what I want, then delete it or convert it to its own vector path after selecting the shape, it would be, I hear you on this. Vectorize image is awesome, but then you have to spend time cleaning it up, union/joining what you want together, etc. I’ve spent a lot of my engineer life developing PWA’s, and hats off to what you guys have done.īut back to to this: WILL YOU JUST ADD A MAGIC WAND?! A SELECTION TOOL FOR BITMAPS! Your PWA is awesome, keyboard commands just work…I really love it. But out of everything out there (Affinity doesn’t do convert to path, Figma doesn’t do magic wand so I hear, many others are platform specific, GIMP just sucks, blah blah Inkscape, Sketch, Adobe’s twelve graphics programs all do something different, Photopea as a Fireworks replacement? God no…), Gravit is just so close. This isn’t supposed to be a love-letter to Fireworks, because I want to break up with it for good. Your web-based (or as the cool kids say - SaaS) application has enabled to me to almost exclusively use a Chromebook while I launch a business - after 15 years of being a full-time software engineer. You guys are this close to being the end-all solution for so many of us web creators where being “full-stack” also means being the designer and creative side of our operation. And with our library of templates, it's easy to design projects directly for the devices you intend them to be viewed on.I know this has been brought up repeatedly. You'll have all the tools you need at your disposal for free! Plus, with features like Vectornator's Quick Actions bar, you'll be able to work up to 30% faster than in other vector design platforms. If vector editing is what you need, look no further than Vectornator.

It just depends on your use case - whether you need something like Adobe Photoshop for photo editing and working on raster images for social media (check out Gimp and its many plugins) or something like Affinity Designer or Adobe Illustrator to edit vector shapes and images, such as logos and typography.

Whether you're on iOS, Linux, or Windows, you'll be able to find an open-source or free graphic design platform if you look hard enough. Unfortunately, Affinity Designer doesn't have a free version. Many designers are looking for a vector graphic design software platform with a free version.
