Vector Editing Suite

Professional tools. Zero compromises.

Import any SVG and unlock full editing capabilities. Every path, anchor, and handle becomes yours to manipulate with precision.

📥

Perfect SVG Import

Import any SVG file with proper viewBox handling. Your artwork maintains exact proportions and is never stretched or cropped.

🎯

Node-Level Editing

Press N to edit every anchor and bezier handle. Drag nodes, adjust curves, add or delete points, and reshape paths with pixel precision.

✂️

Boolean Operations

Union, subtract, and divide shapes with Pathfinder-style operations. All boolean output is cleaned and refitted with smooth bezier curves.

📚

Layer Management

Automatically detect SVG groups and layers. Ungroup, regroup, reorder shapes, and isolate individual color layers for focused editing.

🎨

Fill & Stroke Control

Change colors, adjust opacity, modify strokes, and apply gradients. Recolor entire layers or individual shapes with one click.

📐

Precision Transforms

Scale, rotate, skew, and align shapes with numerical precision. Smart guides snap to edges and centers for perfect alignment.

↶

50-Step Undo

Every edit is tracked with full undo/redo. Experiment freely knowing you can always return to any previous state.

🔒

100% Offline

All editing happens locally on your machine. Your vectors never touch an external server — complete privacy guaranteed.

Keyboard-first

Every operation, one key away.

The same hotkeys as the desktop app — muscle memory transfers instantly from Illustrator or Inkscape.

Workflow

Import, edit, export.

Import your SVG

Open any SVG file or drag it onto the canvas. Vecspine reads the viewBox and displays your artwork at perfect scale.

Edit with precision

Use the Nodes tool (N) to edit anchors, run boolean operations, manage layers, adjust colors, and transform shapes with full control.

Export anywhere

Export to SVG, PDF, PNG, DXF, G-code, EPS, HPGL, or any of 15+ formats. Your edits are preserved perfectly in every output.

Import compatibility

What imports cleanly — and what doesn't.

Honest expectations: geometry always imports and becomes fully editable; decorative effects are flattened or skipped.

FAQ

SVG editing questions, answered.

Can I import SVG files with complex effects?

Vecspine imports standard SVG paths, shapes, and groups. Complex effects like masks, filters, and CSS animations are not supported, but all basic geometry imports perfectly and becomes fully editable.

Does the SVG aspect ratio stay correct?

Yes. Vecspine always reads the SVG's viewBox to determine the true artwork size, so your vectors are never stretched, cropped, or letterboxed regardless of the source file's units or dimensions.

Can I edit nodes and bezier handles?

Absolutely. Press N to enter node editing mode. Drag anchors, pull bezier handles, add or delete nodes, straighten curves, and smooth corners — just like in Illustrator or Inkscape.

Are boolean operations supported?

Yes. Select multiple shapes and use Ctrl+Shift++ for Union, Ctrl+- for Subtract, or Ctrl+Shift+- for Divide. All boolean output is cleaned and refitted with smooth bezier curves.

Can I manage layers and groups?

Yes. Vecspine automatically detects SVG groups and layers. You can ungroup, regroup, reorder shapes, and isolate individual color layers for editing.

What export formats are available?

Export to SVG, PDF, PNG, DXF (for CAD/laser), EPS, HPGL (for plotters), G-code (for CNC), cut contours, and more. All exports preserve your edits perfectly.

Full vector control, zero limitations.

Import any SVG and edit every anchor, handle, and path. Boolean operations, layer management, and export to any format — all offline.
