About SVGEdit

SVGEdit is a web-based SVG drawing editor written in JavaScript and built on the @svgedit/svgcanvas library. It runs in any modern browser with no installation. The project offers V7, the current version, and keeps older releases online for browsers that V7 does not support.

The source is MIT-licensed and can be hosted on your own server, and the canvas is published on npm for developers who want to build a vector editor into their own web application. The site says the project went unmaintained for a long time before the V7 rewrite. SVGEdit suits quick SVG edits and embedded editing; for detailed illustration, the desktop program Inkscape has far more tools.
