Unlike most vector graphics editors, GodSVG represents the SVG code directly and lets you edit it in real time, without adding any metadata to it. It aims to be a structured SVG editor with low abstraction, producing clean, precise, optimized files.
Interactive SVG editing: Modify individual elements of an SVG vector graphic using a user-friendly interface.
Real-time code: As you manipulate elements in the UI, code is instantly generated and can be edited. Generated code is human-readable, since no metadata is added.
Optimized SVGs: The generated SVG files are small and efficient, and GodSVG provides various options to assist with optimization.

Completely free and open-source
I don't tolerate user-hostile nonsense. You won't find ads, spyware, data collection, unwanted notifications, subscription models, unnecessary accounts, external dependencies, forced updates, or anything like that in GodSVG.
Just a tool for you to use when you need it. Readily available for free on official platforms, without gated features.
All of GodSVG's development happens in the open and developers are in the same communities as everyone else. This means you can be assured nothing shady is going on. The license also allows you to modify GodSVG for yourself, in case you have specific needs.
If you find GodSVG valuable, consider giving it a star on Github. It's an easy way to signal that the project is respected and useful. If you want to go a step further, consider .
GodSVG was started in May 2023 by me (MewPurPur) and open-sourced less than a month later. Since the open-sourcing, other people have joined in to help, but I still do the vast majority of the work. Everyone who has made major contributions is listed inside GodSVG's "About" dialog.
GodSVG has been in alpha for so long... Will it ever release?
I've made a blog post going over this. You can help me get it out faster by , for which I would be very grateful!
You can also support me by spreading the word, giving a star on Github, and if you can, implementing features, enhancements, bugfixes, or discussing suggestions.
I tried GodSVG and found bugs and shortcomings.
GodSVG is not even in beta yet, so this is to be expected. Report any issues you have on Github.
Do you have the social media?
You can find the official GodSVG social media on the bottom of every page on this website. But here they are:
Her name is Vicki and she is GodSVG's mascot. You can read more about her at about/mascot (and check out some nice art).
What are your plans for GodSVG?
I have a lot of plans, many of the proposals on the GodSVG repository reflect them. On a broad level, GodSVG aims to be a structured SVG editor that allows you to use an inspector, a code editor, and a canvas for your editing - whichever makes the most sense. It also aims to work with the SVG format end-to-end, without using metadata. This could change in the future, but for now I want to push GodSVG as far as possible given these restrictions.
There are no plans to support animation or layers at the moment.
In my opinion, GodSVG is most useful for teaching the SVG format, creating simple iconography, optimizing existing SVGs, creating SVGs with code. If your use cases are different, consider more artistically-inclined editors.
Why is GodSVG named like so?
The name is a word play on Godot Engine (the tool used to create GodSVG) and the format SVG. There is no religious intent behind it and it was used since conception.
I speak one of Earth's many languages! Do you need help with translation?
Bonjour! GodSVG is community-translated and you can find how to do it here. Hit me up on Discord for help.
I hope this gave you all the answers you wanted, even the ones you didn't know you needed! Hit me up on Discord if you have other questions.
Donations will help me push GodSVG through to a stable release. Even the small amount I get from donations currently has allowed me to spend a lot more time on the project.
I have a few donation platforms set up, so you can choose the one you prefer:
On all platforms, you can donate a single time or monthly. Monthly supporters get some perks, like a role in the GodSVG discord server, if you use Discord, and a mention in the "About" of GodSVG. I'd love to give more, but I can't think of much at the moment, and GodSVG already keeps me busy enough.
