Graphite
Graphite is an open-source vector and raster graphics engine that runs on the browser. It offers a non-destructive (nondestructive) editing workflow that combines layer-based splicing and node-based generative design. Their future plans include capabilities such as photography, moving graphics, digital painting, and visual effects merging.
