SVG Code Editor Online
Edit SVG markup and see the result beside your code. Upload an SVG, paste your own, or try the starting example. Copy or download your changes without creating an account.
Change SVG elements and attributes in a plain text area. Press Tab to insert two spaces. This editor does not provide syntax highlighting or code completion.
The preview updates as you edit. Check colors, shapes, stroke widths, and spacing, then test the file in the application where you will use it.
The editor checks XML parsing and the SVG root element. This helps catch malformed markup, but is not a complete SVG, accessibility, or security audit.
How to Edit SVG Code Online
- Load your SVG. Upload a file or replace the example code with complete SVG markup. Keep a copy of your original.
- Change one detail. Try a fill color, stroke width, or a shape coordinate. Watch the preview while you work.
- Resolve XML errors. Check closing tags, attribute quotes, and the SVG namespace if the editor shows an error.
- Copy or download. Use Copy Code or Download SVG to save your changes. Reset restores the starting example, so save any work you need first.
Try a Small Edit
In the starting star example, change fill="#FF7043" to fill="#18345F". Then change stroke-width="2" to stroke-width="4" to compare the outline. These are direct code edits; the tool does not ask an AI model to interpret them.
When adjusting dimensions, keep the viewBox in mind: it defines the coordinate area displayed by the SVG. Changing width and height changes the display size; editing shape coordinates changes the artwork itself.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this a visual drawing tool?
It is a code editor with a preview. Edit the XML directly to change shapes and styling; there are no drag handles or drawing tools.
Does downloading optimize my SVG?
No. Copy and download preserve the code in the editor. If you want to reduce markup, use the SVG optimizer and compare the result with your original.
Can I use SVGs exported by design tools?
You can load SVG markup exported by tools such as Figma, Illustrator, or Inkscape. Fonts, externally referenced assets, and application-specific effects may look different in a browser. Check the preview and your intended destination.
Can I edit animations?
You can change animation markup in the text area. Playback depends on the SVG and browser; the preview is not a timeline editor and does not run an external application’s scripts.
Is my work saved when I close the page?
Save it with Copy Code or Download SVG before leaving. The editor does not provide cloud saving, shared editing sessions, or a shareable document URL.
Where does editing happen?
File reading, editing, and previewing happen in your browser. The site also records usage analytics such as file sizes and tool actions. See the privacy policy for site data practices.
