Inkscape: Eraser Tool Overview

The Inkscape eraser is a powerful and easy tool, but sometimes it can be a frustrating tool as well. The Inkscape eraser sometimes works great, and other times it doesn't erase what we want it to. Here is a step-by-step walkthrough of the Inkscape eraser tool, including the three different feature buttons and what they do. There's also a little troubleshooting tip at the end if you can't erase the object that you want to.

    I’ve had inkscape for a while and my eraser stopped working a few months ago and I haven’t been able to fix it. Any suggestions other than maybe deleting inkscape and reinstalling?

    Hmm that is a great question - I would agree, either delete and reinstall, or go to "About" and see if you have the latest version?

    There are pretty limited options - when you select the eraser tool, at the top there is a "thinning" option (and a couple of hours). It is definitely not the same as Photoshop in that regard

    How do we delete an object?

    It's the first example - dragging your eraser through the object.

    If you are dragging the eraser over an image (like a PNG), it won't do anything. If you select the eraser tool, you need to drag it over an SVG file and you can start erasing
