Tool description

The SVG Viewer is a real-time SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) code editor and preview tool that allows users to write, edit, and instantly visualize SVG markup. This tool provides a split-screen interface with a syntax-highlighted code editor on one side and a live preview canvas on the other, enabling immediate feedback as SVG code is written or modified. The viewer supports the complete SVG specification, making it perfect for creating icons, graphics, animations, and complex vector illustrations while providing instant visual feedback during the development process.
