Vector Editor Open Source

This tool is designed for designers, front-end developers, and open source teams who work with SVG assets. It provides a focused, local environment for creating, editing, and refining vector illustrations without reliance on external services. By maintaining an editable SVG DOM, the editor supports precise path manipulation, shape operations, and style tuning. Users can start from existing SVG files or craft new vectors from primitive shapes, then apply fills, strokes, gradients, and opacity settings. The emphasis is on portability, interoperability, and reproducible results, making it ideal for component libraries, icons, and scalable illustrations.
Conceptually, the editor models artwork as a structured SVG document with layers, groups, and nodes. Editing actions translate to equivalent DOM operations, preserving attributes such as viewBox, preserveAspectRatio, and id consistency. The engine validates syntax, collapses redundant nodes, and ensures exports stay compatible with major tooling. Local-only operation means no data leaves the device, supporting secure workflows for proprietary graphics. Users can import SVGs, perform edits, then export with embedded fonts, cleaned markup, or minified output suitable for production.
Core differentiators include a lightweight footprint, pure client-side processing, and a permissive open source license. It targets teams that value auditability, reproducibility, and extendability, offering an API or plugin pattern for automation and batch operations. Typical use cases include icon sets, UI illustrations, SVG sprites, and educational experiments in vector rendering.
