Professional Programs and their Free Alternatives - Replaceable Paid Software

We have all had to use some paid professional software at one time or another, such as Windows, Photoshop, Office And unfortunately, many people have it pirated, well let me tell you that doing this is not the right thing to do, if you make money with that program, ideally you should pay for it. My opinion is that if you are not earning money yet, you should learn to use the professional software and the company where you will work will require you to handle such software.

The problem to acquire paid software is that in third world countries it is very complicated to acquire a license to be able to use that software, someone from the third world can buy a license cheaply, but to these countries it is complicated.

That's why a great alternative is to use free software. I will show you which free software could replace paid software.

1. MICROSOFT OFFICE

USE LIBREOFFICE

We have all used Word, Excel or PowerPoint which are the most used programs of this Suite, but a mistake is to think that this Suite is free, you have to pay per year as a service, but if you are a student, you can get Office 365 free and legal Click here. 

But if not a great alternative is LibreOffice which has spreadsheets, presentations and word processing just like Office and is very powerful.

Download libreOffice: https://www.libreoffice.org/download/download/

2. PHOTOSHOP

USA GIMP

Photoshop is a powerful image editor, it is the best known in this field, since any designer, photographer by obligation must learn Photoshop.

But a great alternative is GIMP, which is also a pixel image editor, but it is totally free and its interface is very similar to Photoshop, it is available for Windows, Mac and Linux. Download GIMP here. 

3. Illustrator

USA INKSCAPE

Illustrator is a vector graphics editing software, which means that by increasing the dimensions of the object the resolution is not damaged and is used by all design professionals and a good alternative to this program is Inkscape which is completely free and open source. Download Inkscape here.

4. Windows

USA LINUX

I know that no one expected an operating system of last option, but an operating system is also a software and if you want to have all the programs we mentioned, they are also found in Linux. A Windows license can cost 250 Dollars per machine, Linux 0$ and you will have an OS, very complete just like Windows and free, the only thing is that there is no Adobe suite or Office, but as we saw there are all the other alternative programs. Download here Linux Ubuntu. 

We will be adding more Alternative Software to this entry. THANKS FOR READING.
