Inkscape is an Open Source vector graphics editor, with capabilities similar to Illustrator, Freehand, CorelDraw, or Xara X using the W3C standard Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) file format. Supported SVG features include shapes, paths, text, markers, clones, alpha blending, transforms, gradients, patterns, and grouping. Inkscape also supports Creative Commons meta-data, node editing, layers, complex path operations, bitmap tracing, text-on-path, flowed text, direct XML editing, and more. It imports formats such as JPEG, PNG, TIFF, and others and exports PNG as well as multiple vector-based formats.

This tool is very nice, I've worked proffesionally with Adobe Illustrator for years and Inkspace impresses me. Not only is it a nice freeware program, its really a serious graphics tool. I even found some features that even Illustrator misses! Pretty easy to use and nice interface. Saves to most important vector formats, including PDF and EPS (not AI [Adobe Illustrator] though). It's like Paint.net compared to Photoshop, but with vector graphics.

If youre looking for a free tool for vector graphics, try this.
