Xara is a vector graphics programme that is stable, has small file sizes and is affordable. Um, that is what it is mainly, now you can also do a lot more a lot easier and it comes with plugins from some of my favourite plugin developers Redfield, Alienskin, AVBros, and others. If you use Xara, you will already been all over the site, if you have no idea what Xara is, please read a little further, your life will never be the same.
XARA has been developing software since 1981, and is one of the oldest continuously trading independent software developers in the business today. The company has developed software for a variety of platforms over the years, starting with the BBC Micro, and has evolved with the changing hardware landscape. Xara's first Windows product was launched in 1994, a mainstream vector illustration package called Xara Studio (a predecessor of Xara X). Xara took an early interest in the Internet and although our ISP interests were sold in 1997 (they are currently part of XO), Xara remains completely committed to the Internet, both in terms of software distribution and development direction. Our software has been sold and delivered over the Internet since 1997, which has provided the opportunity for Xara to grow into a truly international company, selling over 90% of its products outside the UK. It is our aim to pursue this opportunity, establishing Xara as the foremost supplier of Web graphics software.©1995-2001 Xara Ltd.
