Inkscape natively supports opening or importing many different formats, such as .svg, .svgz (gzipped SVG), .pdf, .eps, and .ai (Adobe Illustrator) formats. And, as of version 0.91, Inkscape can import .cdr (CorelDraw) and .vsd (Visio) natively.

1. ⚠ Warning! InkScape does NOT export as EPS

   Contrary to what the app’s « Save As EPS » option let you believe InkScape does NOT export as real PostScript. Instead it generates a compressed bitmap as a flatten layer that is saved with the extension «.eps» which is kinda dum if you ask me.
   If you want to EXPORT AS EPS follow this tutorial. This will require you to install the Scribus app.

2. ⚠ Warning! Install fonts for ALL users

   On Windows PC, InkScape requires that new fonts (from Google Fonts or others) needs to be install using the Install for all users option from the right-clicked contextual menu.

The default Inkscape SVG files require a lot of inkscape metadata for edition purposes since SVG is the default file extension at inkscape. Using SVGO we can remove a lot of redundant and useless information such as editor metadata, comments, hidden elements, default or non-optimal values and other stuff that can be safely removed or converted without affecting SVG rendering result.

SVG Optimizer is a Nodejs-based tool for optimizing SVG vector graphics files.
