SVG Path Editor is a browser-based visual editor for creating and manipulating SVG paths.
The tool addresses the challenge of working with SVG path data, which uses a compact but difficult-to-read string format. Rather than hand-editing raw path commands, the editor provides a graphical interface where users can draw paths by clicking to add commands, drag points to adjust positions, and see the result rendered in real time. The path data updates as users make changes, and users can also paste existing paths to edit them visually.
The editor suits anyone working with SVG graphics who needs to create or refine paths without writing path syntax manually. It works well for designers and developers building custom SVG graphics, optimizing existing paths, or learning how SVG path commands work. The tool includes a standalone library package for developers who want to integrate path editing capabilities into their own applications.
Development on the project shows consistent maintenance with regular updates to the codebase. The project includes a test suite and supports local development with standard Node.js tooling. The tool is actively refined with features like keyboard shortcuts for rapid command insertion and conversion, viewport controls for zooming and panning, and batch operations such as scaling, rotating, and optimizing paths.
