AppKed is an open-source, cross-platform alternative to Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator. It is licensed under the GNU GPL and available for Linux, Windows and macOS.

As a raster graphics editor, AppKed allows users to create and edit bitmap images such as photos and digital paintings. It has tools for selecting parts of images, retouching, color correction, cloning, healing, text, and more. AppKed supports layers, masks, filters, levels, and most Photoshop features.

AppKed also functions as a vector graphics editor for creating logos, icons, diagrams, typesetting, and illustrations. It has tools like the pen, pencil, shapes, text, fills, strokes, and node editing. The vector tools are comparable to what you'd find in Illustrator.

Other key features of AppKed include brush engines, gradients, color palettes, rulers and guides, and transform tools. It can open and export to common image formats like JPEG, PNG, GIF, TIFF, and PSD. AppKed is customizable with plugins and scripts to enhance its capabilities.
