Inkscape 1.0+ has Emergency Autosave. If inkscape crashes it will try to save your file. File is saved as current file name _ date+time of crash.svg

Note that there is chance that this file will contain same problem that causes Inkscape to crash or in rare cases file can be corrupted.

On Unix (Linux, Mac OS X, *BSD, etc.)

Inkscape tries to save in one of following paths:

  1. Home directory (~/, $HOME, /home/<username>/)
  2. /tmp/
  3. In the current working directory

On Windows

Inkscape tries to save in %UserProfile%:

  • Vista/7/10/11: C:\Users\<username>\
  • XP/2003: C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\
