What is Graphite?
Vector and raster editor built on a node graph, so every shape, effect and layer stays editable.
Who is Graphite best for?
Graphite is best for illustrators and generative artists who want free, nondestructive vector design driven by a node graph.
Generative and procedural art
Nodes turn shapes into parameters, so scatters, patterns and fractals change with a slider instead of being redrawn.
Nondestructive editing
Every choice stays tied to a parameter, so earlier steps can be changed or blended at any time.
Designing without an install
The editor runs in the browser, works offline and keeps files on your own device.
How much does Graphite cost?
Graphite is free and open source with no paid plan; the project is funded by community donations and memberships.
- Runs in the browser, with work kept on your device
- Vector tools plus a node graph for procedural design
- Build and run it yourself with Rust and Node.js
There is no paid tier; the project is funded by community donations and memberships. Full pricing on github.com. We checked these prices on .
