Draw and edit SVG icons in the browser
The same canvas and the same curve tools as the type editor, on a canvas of whatever size you need. Draw an icon, trace one you have a picture of, or import an SVG and keep every point editable.
Start a symbolDraw it or trace it
Start from nothing with the pen and the shape tools, or drop a picture behind the canvas and draw over it. A tracing image sits at whatever opacity you want and is never vectorised behind your back and never exported.
An imported SVG stays an SVG you can edit
Import a file and its paths come in as real contours with real control points - not a flattened image, and not a blob you can only scale. Anything Glyphic cannot represent honestly is reported rather than silently approximated.
- Transforms are baked into the geometry, so nothing drifts out of sync
- Scripts and other active content in a file are stripped on the way in
- You are told what was simplified, rather than left to find out
Fills that are worth exporting
Solid colours, linear gradients and radial gradients, each with as many stops as the artwork needs, plus opacity per shape and per fill. Gradients are written as real SVG gradient definitions in object bounding-box units, so the exported file scales exactly the way the canvas did.
Clean files out
The SVG is generated from the document model, so it carries the artwork and nothing else: no editor metadata, no leftover ids, nothing inherited from a file you imported. PNG export goes to 512px free and 4096px on the paid plan.
Questions
- Do I need an account?
- No. You can draw, edit and export without signing in. An account is only needed for the cloud library, which keeps projects across devices.
- Can I edit an SVG I already have?
- Yes. Import it and the paths arrive as editable contours with their control points, rather than as a flattened image.
- What can I export?
- SVG, and PNG up to 512px on the free plan or 4096px on the paid plan. Exporting a whole symbol set at once comes with the paid plan.
- Is my drawing uploaded to a server?
- No. Drawing, editing and exporting all happen in your browser. A project only reaches a server if you sign in and keep it in the cloud library.
