What Can You Do with the SVG Editor?
1. Change Colors
The editor automatically detects every color in your SVG. Click any color to replace it with a custom one, or apply preset palettes:
- Brand — professional color schemes
- Pastel — soft, muted tones
- Dark — deep, rich colors
- Vibrant — bold, saturated hues
- Monochrome — single-color variations
2. Simplify Paths
If your SVG has too many points (common with auto-traced images), the Simplify tab reduces them while maintaining visual quality. This is essential for:
- Cleaning up AI-converted SVGs for cutting machines
- Reducing file size for web use
- Making paths smoother for laser cutting
3. Optimize File Size
The Optimize tab removes unnecessary bloat: comments, metadata, redundant attributes. It can reduce file size by up to 80%%. For dedicated optimization, try our SVG Optimizer.
4. Edit Individual Elements
Click any element (path, circle, rectangle, text) to select it. Then change its fill, stroke, opacity, or delete/duplicate it. Full keyboard shortcut support (Delete, Ctrl+Z).
5. Transform
Rotate (-180° to 180°), scale (10%% to 200%%), and translate elements precisely.
6. Generate CSS Variables
For web developers: the Variables tab generates CSS custom properties for every color in your SVG. Copy the :root CSS block or a JavaScript theme object.
7. Export
Download as SVG (vector), PNG at 1x/2x/4x resolution, or copy the SVG code to clipboard.
