+Adobe Illustrator Alternative Inkscape Releases Version 1.2
+======
+Inkscape 1.2 is an exciting update with many useful improvements and feature additions. Take it for a spin!
+
+![inkscape][1]
+
+Inkscape is a popular open-source vector graphics program available for Linux, Windows, and macOS.
+
+The latest release focuses on refinements to existing tools and more customization options.
+
+There are also a couple of new additions to the application. Let’s take a look.
+
+### Inkscape 1.2: What’s New?
+

+
+![][3]
+
+Inkscape 1.2 is an exciting update with many useful enhancements. Some of the key changes include:
+
+* Improved gradient editor
+* New snapping modes
+* Support for Multi-page documents
+* Improved export dialog
+* Customizable toolbar
+
+Here, I shall highlight the important feature improvements:
+
+#### Multi-Page Document Support
+
+![][4]
+
+You can now create standard/custom-size pages in the same document, and finalize them by saving them as a multi-page PDF.
+
+Not the ability to export, but you can also import a multi-page PDF to make things easy.
+
+### Customize Color Palette
+
+Easily change the size, reconfigure the colors to explore the available color palettes, and select the one you really like.
+
+It should make things quicker when you require working with several color palettes in the user interface.
+
+### New ‘Tiling’ Live Path Effect
+
+If you are working with a large number of objects and want to explore path effects, the new tiling live path effect should be interesting.
+
+You can easily tweak the mirroring mode, adjust the gap, add rows and columns, and get numerous opportunities to get creative.
+
+### Layers and Object Dialog
+
+![][5]
+
+Most of the improvements make the experience more straightforward than it already was. With the new merged layers and object dialog, you can quickly organize/find objects per the layer you’re looking for.
+
+You can even customize the layer and object colors to differentiate them.
+
+### Export Dialog
+
+![][6]
+
+The export dialog now provides you options to choose a simple/batch export along with the ability to pick a file format and DPI settings.
+
+### Other Improvements
+
+In addition to the key highlights, some of the significant changes include:
+
+* Two new modes of on-canvas snapping help align objects.
+* You can choose the gradients right within the Fill and Stroke dialog box.
+* The ability to edit a marker.
+* Improved compatibility with extensions.
+* Updated SVG font editor.
+* Performance improvements.
+* Configurable toolbar.
+
+You can refer to the [Inkscape 1.2 release notes][7] to explore all the technical changes.
+
+### Download Inkscape 1.2
+
+You can download Inkscape 1.2 as an AppImage from its official website or check other available packages for Windows/macOS platforms.
