Paragraphic is a tool for creating complex 2d vector designs, patterns and data-driven graphics using a modular design system.
Paragraphic is built with designers in mind, to allow creating parametric designs in a more familiar UI, without any coding and adopting conventions designers will be familiar with in other design tools.
The idea behind this is both to work as an introduction to designers who are new to this typ of design thinking, and to offer a more convenient tool for people experienced in this field.
To encourage experimentation it combines detailed control with allowing you to change any step in the process without needing to remove or undo later steps, giving you a real-time updated view of the end result. To fit into existing workflows you can just copy the result as SVG vector graphics and paste it into other software to continue working with the design.

Paragraphic version 1.4.0
Updated At: 2026-02-09
Changes: Check out the (1.4 Release blog post and highlights video)
Changes and improvements
- New Data Table parameters, allowing you to import and work with spreadsheet-style tables of values and text for use in data visualization and data-driven designs. These new Table parameters replace the old comma-separated List parameters and also introduce new Table versions of all previous list-related nodes.
- Conditional parameters, a new type of parameters and input nodes that allow you to set up logic conditions controlling what color, value, text or other input to use based on if a defined condition is fulfilled or not, or to set up conditions in Change nodes for what elements should be changed.
- Element property access. Using a new set of new Element input nodes you can get access to size, position, indexes and colors of the currently processed element in Change or Group nodes. This allows you to apply specific changes based on these properties, and allow you to set up conditions for conditional selections in Change nodes based on them.
- Multiple artboard support, work with multiple artboards in a single document to make it easier to for example work with components separately from the finished design or different format/size design outputs.
- Improved text and font features, with access to more font collections and styles installed on the system in Paragraphic and SVG exports and multiple new text input nodes for modifying and formating text content.
- Added new Format value string input node, allowing you format values for text display.
- Added new Replace text and Change case string input nodes, allowing you manipulate text strings for display.
- Added new Map value value input node, allowing you to round an input value to the closest value from a table of values.
- Added new Statistics from table value input node, allowing you to get calculated values like totals, relative values and averages from value tables. Useful for generating data visualizations like pie charts or stacked graphs.
- Added new Vector operation 2d vector input node, making it easier to add, subtract or scale input 2d values.
- Added new Loop repeater node, that in itself doesn't apply any changes to repeated elements but is convenient for index-based generation where other nodes change the repeated elements.
- The Index Value and Index Function input nodes along with other index selectors can now also access element row, column and index set by previous repeaters, allowing you to use these when applying changes in change nodes after repeating elements.
- Export settings are now saved per artboard, and changing export settings marks the document as having unsaved changes.
- Added a secondary highlight frame to value fields to make it easier to see what field is currently targeted by the hover value change controls.
- Some general performance improvements.
- Removed Add new document parameter connection menu option from input sockets of Document parmeaters.
- Changed Windows rendering backend to DirectX12 for improved stability and device support.
- Improved Linux package to be a zip-archive with included desktop/launcher icon and install script.
- Updated to Godot 4.6 rendering engine.
