In their own words
Boxy SVG
Boxy SVG is an SVG editor for beginners, professional designers, and developers. It lets users adjust object geometry, transforms, paint, and other properties directly on the canvas. The editor saves SVG and SVGZ files and exports PNG, JPG, WebP, PDF, and HTML5. It connects to Pixabay and other libraries for free stock photos and vector assets, and integrates with Google Fonts. Web developers get a Chromium-based rendering engine, an SVG and CSS code inspector, and tools for editing SVG sprites. Boxy SVG runs on Android, iOS, Linux, macOS, web, and Windows, with desktop and mobile apps; it is also available as an installable PWA. Boxy SVG Cloud offers up to 10 GB of storage at no charge, with a quote available for more. The paid product has a 15-day free trial without requiring a credit card, then charges annually at an amount shown as a page variable. The separate Web Component has customer-specific pricing and supports self-hosting, white-labeling, embedding, and custom-element frameworks.
