However, the Linux version offered for download is 64-bit only, so the fastest way to try Gravit is to just use the web version.

It’s also possible to download an archive with an executable Gravit file which you can just run from the terminal or by double-clicking it in the file manager.

Resize your page to the newly desired size.Source code is available on GitHub for those who wish to compile it.

So now that we have our 32px favicon, how do we resize it to other favicon sizes? Well, Gravit makes that a 5 step process! Before setting to transparent, I recommend checking what your icon looks like on default tab colors #f3f3f3 and #3B3B3B.Īwesomesauce - We have our 32x32 favicon! ✨ Resizing 🔀

This will make the background blend with the tab color regardless of what color theme someone is using.

Change the color fill of the page to transparent by dragging the bottom slider (Opacity slider) under the color picker all the way to the left.

Click off of your shape - this will give you access to the page's attributes.

You can adjust the direction of the gradient by dragging the dot endpoints on your canvas to get your look just right.

For inspiration, you can check my Gradient color picker site!

You can change the colors of the gradient by clicking the dots on the grid or the rectangles under the fill type dropdown.

You can adjust the number of points and how round your corners are under the 'Appearance Panel' - I'll be using 6 Points and 1 corner roundnessĬlick the fill bubble and change the fill type from Color Fill to Linear Gradient.

Using the align center and align middle buttons, you can easily center your design on the page.

You can always resize and rotate later, but I like to use shift while dragging to create a flat bottom as the baseline.

In the top toolbar, select the shapes dropdown and select 'Polygon'

At this point you can zoom in to make the canvas fill the screen.

I'll cover scaling to other sizes down below!.

At the top of the New Design page, enter the width and height as 32px.

Everything covered here works without the PRO trial at the time of writing - so feel free to skip activating the free PRO trial for now.Head to Gravit Designer and create an account if you haven't already.So now that we have a bit of the background, I want to walk through a practical example - creating a minimal favicon you can use for a website! Creating a simple Favicon for your site 🎨 The top of your list is an item with z-index: 9999999999 and the bottom of the list is an item with z-index: 1, with items between scaling accordingly. In CSS terms, this is identical to z-index. This means that an item closer to the top of the list would visually cover an item closer to the bottom of the list should they overlap. Each of these assets forms a layer - and you're looking at everything from a top-down perspective. Layers are a list of all the assets (lines, shapes, curves, images, etc.) that are on your canvas. Layers are a powerful tool once understood, but cause a lot of frustration to understand.

One of the common struggles I see with vector software is with Layers. The trick with this one is to make sure you're focused on the canvas so that the browser and sidebar don't scale instead! 😅 Ctrl + Scroll = Zoom in/out, the same as your browser.Scroll wheel click + drag = This will allow you to pan around the canvas, which I find more convenient than trying to scroll the page.alt + drag object = This creates a duplicate of the object wherever you stop dragging.Shift + Scaling = This will scale your object at a 1:1 scale, which is useful for not causing distortions.Shift + Rotating = This locks your rotation to breakpoints, which helps keep rotations consistent across your work.All images in this post including the cover imageįrom my time working with vector software, there are a few keyboard 'shortcuts' that I use a lot.The included cloud storage combos nicely with being browser-based to allow you to start a project on one computer and seamlessly continue working on another computer later - a feature I use all too often.

Unlike those alternatives, however, Gravit offers a free tier and runs completely in your browser (or offline as a PWA with the PRO license). Gravit.io is a browser-based vector graphics software - meaning it allows you to create images using lines, curves, and shapes similar to Adobe Illustrator or Affinity Designer.
