About SVG Editor

SVGEdit is a browser-based SVG drawing editor that runs in JavaScript and works in modern browsers. It provides a canvas for creating and editing vector graphics as SVG files, with a project history going back more than 15 years and a refreshed V7 release. You can open hosted builds to try SVGEdit V7, or use older versions for older browsers or abandoned features.

The site also explains how to host SVGEdit locally by cloning the repository, installing dependencies with npm, building the svgcanvas package and editor bundle, and serving it from your own web server. Developers can integrate the editor into an existing web application by injecting it into a div element, or use the underlying @svgedit/svgcanvas package to build a custom SVG editor with their own framework.

It is aimed at people who need to draw or edit SVG files in a browser and at developers who want to embed SVG editing or build their own editor. Recent Chrome, Firefox and Safari versions are supported.
