The app is designed for real-world handoff: it opens modern and legacy vector formats, keeps native work in SVG, and exports deliverables for print, web and imaging workflows.
| Workflow | Formats | What happens |
|---|---|---|
| Native save | SVG | Documents are saved as standard SVG files you can keep editing. |
| Vector import | SVG, PDF, AI, EPS | PDF, Illustrator and EPS files are converted into editable vector artwork rather than flattened previews where possible. |
| Image import | PNG, JPEG, GIF, BMP, TIFF, HEIC, HEIF | Images can be opened as documents or placed inside existing SVG documents. |
| Export | PDF, PNG, TIFF | Create a vector PDF or an image file for the web. |
| Clipboard | Illustrator vector paste | Artwork copied from Illustrator can be pasted into SVG Editor as editable objects. |
| Share and print | SVG, PNG, PDF, print | Share artwork in common formats and print from your Mac. |
SVG Editor imports AI and EPS files, but its native working format is SVG. Export focuses on SVG, PDF, PNG and TIFF rather than writing new AI or EPS files.
