Best Graphic Design Software Programs

After Photoshop, the most important tool for a graphic designer!

Great 3d program that allows you create anything to your imagination

I think this is the best software for designer, architects and engineers! Can you imagine life without autocad?!

AutoCAD is the most downloaded software in the whole world

Was the in software of the 90's

The best for all designers

Very good software

The best software hands down for 3D graphics

good

Inkscape is so great! Definitely my favourite graphics software out there.

Thanks for the voting scores!

is good

Does everything the others do for free. The learning curve and bad interface is a myth, or rather: there being a huge difference in difficulty between this and photoshop's difficulty is a myth. You need to learn your way around all graphic design software, and once you're used to GIMP it performs as well as any other. - airbb

GIMP is the best free option there is

GIMP is great. I love it.

Gimp 2.9 is super powerful. Get the same results I used to get in PS. Love the Gimp community, there is so much help and support out there.

The perfect tool for beginners everywhere.

For beginners its cool - confidential

I think is is more better than other

It has very little, but if you're experienced, you can create amazing stuff on Windows Paint that you wont be able to create using any other program. If you haven't voted this one, you clearly haven't watched videos of people creating the most amazing and unique artwork you'd ever see. - LemonComputer

Program good

I hate windows paint

Paint is the BEST! Laugh out loud Photoshop is for noobs

Fine all-rounder. Superb value

Best Image Editor/ Vector /DTP / Animation in one package
Works in windows mac and linux (Wine)

Love this program. Intuitive. Pared down without being chintzy. Fun, easy to use, with great results.

Basically made for only app and web designers, includes most powerful tools, very simply user interface, fast productivity, vector is always best with the all export supports. So get in touch of new design trend.

Very fast for prototyping

Similar to Fireworks. - Highwiredancer

I've used Paint.NET for years and it allows me to do any and every thing I want. No need to try Photoshop...Paint.NET handles and meets my needs perfectly. Its free but I've donated a few times over the years...really love this product.

Pretty good program. Its free program and easy to learn. Better than paint.

This software is too good. Easy to use.

If one is interested in getting a graphic designer software to experiment with, then "VideoMakerFX" will do the job. Great product and it is currently undergoing a HUGE sale. Heres the link for those of you who would like to check it out.

Good software for animation

I do not know

Nice software

I think fireworks is superb.

This program is absolutely amazing!

There is a reason why I can't really move onto Photoshop - The Scratch costume and background editing things has a button that makes your drawings smooth and the ability to move points around. No other art program I know of have those. Scratch is a very friendly tool for mouse users. - LemonComputer

I'm in this website

Quite complicated but advanced version of MS Paint. - SachiyoHasegawa

Still works great.

The leading, free, online graphic design software. It's a good candidate for your list.

I've used Dreamweaver for more than 10 years and has been an excellent web designer tool.
