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.

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.
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. This is an easy way to signal that the project is respected and useful. If you want to go a step further, consider .
Who is making GodSVG?
GodSVG was started in May 2023 by me (MewPurPur) and open-sourced 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?
GodSVG's first development build released in December 2023. As of April 2026, GodSVG still needs a little more work. Right now, I'm trying my best to reach beta later this year, but it seems unlikely
GodSVG is a hobby project that I dedicate a lot of effort and time to try and push to the finish line. But of course, most of my time goes to having an 8 hours a day job and spending time on things like sleeping, chores, staying healthy.
Supporting me is the best way to help; especially without donations, GodSVG would be far behind where it is now. So if you're able to , 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:
I have a lot of plans, many of the proposals on the GodSVG repository reflect them. But only two big things are somewhat blocking the beta stage: A rework to the handle system, and a rework to the inspector.
On a broad level, GodSVG aims to be an assisted SVG code editor that doesn't save anything to the SVGs that's not part of the format itself. This could change in the future, but I first want to see how far I can push it given these restrictions. Also, there are no plans to integrate animation support at the moment.
In my opinion, GodSVG is most useful for teaching the SVG format, creating simple iconography, optimizing existing SVGs, and creating SVGs with code. If your use cases are different, consider using a more artistically-inclined SVG editor.
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 if you need 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 want to ask anything else.
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 this 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 subscriptions give some perks, such as as 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 I'm busy enough with GodSVG as is.
