RequirementsWindows 10 version 1809 or later, or Windows 11. The installer carries both builds, x64 for Intel and AMD PCs and ARM64 for Windows on ARM, and picks the right one.
Download58,771,477 bytes (about 56 MB), a single signed .msixbundle holding the x64 and ARM64 builds. Double-click it and Windows installs the right one, without any SmartScreen warning, in the Start menu and registered for .svg files.
Nothing else to installNo frameworks, no dependencies: the zip is everything.
SigningSigned by Rainbowfactory Ltd with an Azure Trusted Signing certificate and timestamped, so Windows opens it without a SmartScreen warning.
One code baseThe Windows version runs on the same drawing core as every other edition of SVG Editor, so a document opens the same on any computer that runs it.
FontsUses the fonts installed on your PC.
File formatSVG, as it is. The document on disk is a plain SVG file that opens in any SVG app.
ImportOpens PDF and .ai files as editable vectors, and traces images into paths.
PlacePNG, JPEG, GIF, BMP, WebP, TIFF, HEIC and SVG, linked or embedded, or dropped straight onto the canvas; the Links palette tracks each one and can extract or re-link it.
Pen and inkA pen tablet or a pen display drives the Pencil, the Brush and the Spray with pressure: the Pencil stroke swells and thins with the hand, the Brush stamps follow it, the Spray thickens under it. Turn the pen over and the eraser end erases; the palm resting on the screen is ignored while the pen is down. A stroke at full pressure is the same stroke the mouse draws, to the byte.
Export & printPDF, PNG and TIFF from File › Export, with a layered TIFF that keeps one layer per object, per layer or flattened; printing goes through the system printer.
ColourA document is RGB or CMYK, chosen in File › New and changeable in Document Setup; a CMYK document exports a /DeviceCMYK PDF. Colour is picked in the app’s own picker, which shows HSB, Lab, RGB, CMYK and hex on the same colour at once — the Windows colour dialog is never used.
ScriptingRuns your .jsx scripts (ExtendScript-style) unchanged, with full undo. Ten example scripts are included.
AI ConsoleWindow › AI Console (F7) or the ✨ button on the canvas: describe the artwork and get editable vectors back, through the Vector Designer server or with your own Claude, OpenAI or Gemini key, in which case the console works as an agent with 26 drawing tools. Keys are stored with Windows DPAPI.
MCP serverThe application is an MCP server: run svgeditor.exe --mcp-stdio and Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex or VS Code drive the 48 drawing tools on the open document. The configuration to paste is in Edit › Options › MCP Server.
FeedbackWindow › Feedback (Ctrl+Alt+F), the 💬 button on the canvas, or Help › Send Feedback…: text and screenshots go to the Rainbow Factory tracker, queued on disk when offline.
UpdatesThe application checks for a new version at every launch and tells you only when there is one. It downloads the signed package, checks its signature and installs it when you press Install and Relaunch — nothing unsigned is ever installed. Help › Check for Updates… checks right away, and the automatic check is a switch in Options.
HelpVector Designer Help (F1), Keyboard Shortcuts… with a search box, and an Errors window that collects what went wrong instead of stopping you with a modal box.
Image TraceObject › Image Trace turns a placed bitmap into paths, using vtracer compiled into the application.
