What Boxy SVG is
Boxy SVG is an SVG editor for beginners, professional designers, and developers. Its canvas supports direct changes to object geometry, transforms, paint, and other properties.

The editor connects to Pixabay and other libraries for free stock photos and vector assets, and it integrates with Google Fonts. Developer tools include a Chromium-based rendering engine, an SVG and CSS code inspector, and SVG sprite editing support. Boxy SVG works on Android, iOS, Linux, macOS, web, and Windows, with desktop and mobile apps plus an installable PWA. Boxy SVG Cloud provides up to 10 GB of free storage.
