A full-featured, free SVG editor that runs entirely in the browser — draw, edit paths, and export clean SVG markup.
Why we recommend it
Illustrator and Figma both export SVG, but editing an SVG's actual markup afterward usually means hand-editing code. SVG-Edit gives that a proper visual editor, free and with no account.
Strengths
- Free and open source under MIT. Full path editing, layers, and direct access to the underlying SVG code when you need it, works entirely offline once loaded.
Drawbacks
- Interface is functional rather than polished — it won't feel as smooth as a commercial vector app. Best for editing and cleaning up existing SVGs rather than illustrating from scratch.
