What Makes Boxy SVG Different

Boxy SVG combines a visual canvas editor with a live, editable view of the underlying SVG source code, letting users make a change visually and immediately see the resulting markup, or edit the markup directly and see the canvas update, which appeals especially to developers comfortable reading raw SVG.

  • Boxy SVG combines a visual canvas with a live, editable SVG source view
  • Visual changes immediately reflect in the markup, and vice versa
  • This dual view appeals especially to developers comfortable reading SVG code

Common Boxy SVG Workflows

Boxy SVG is often used for quick icon editing, cleaning up SVG files exported from other tools by directly trimming unnecessary markup, and building simple illustrations where seeing the exact resulting code alongside the visual design helps catch unwanted attributes or bloated paths early.

  • Well-suited to quick icon editing and touch-ups on existing SVG files
  • Useful for cleaning up markup exported from other design tools directly
