About SVG-Edit

SVG-Edit is a vector editor that runs entirely in the browser and works directly with SVG files. You can draw shapes, paths and text and export the result as SVG without installing a desktop program.

The project is MIT-licensed and developed on GitHub, and it can be hosted on your own server or embedded in a web page. It suits people who need to make or tweak simple vector graphics quickly rather than a full illustration suite.
