Boxy SVG for Linux

Scalable Vector Graphics editor

Overview

Boxy SVG is a scalable vector graphics editor made for Linux users.

It is designed to help both beginners and professional designers or developers create and edit SVG files.

Although it claims to work on any device or operating system, it currently supports only the Linux platform.

The software has a clean and easy-to-use interface inspired by popular design tools like Inkscape, Sketch, and Adobe Illustrator.

This makes drawing and designing icons, logos, and illustrations straightforward.

Users can edit shapes, colors, and other object properties directly on the canvas.

Boxy SVG lets you save files in SVG and compressed SVGZ formats.

You can also export your work to common image formats such as PNG, JPG, WebP, PDF, and HTML5.

The editor includes useful integrations with Pixabay and Google Fonts, which provide millions of free images and hundreds of free fonts to enhance your designs.

For web developers, Boxy SVG offers a Chromium-based rendering engine and an SVG and CSS code inspector similar to Chrome Dev Tools.

Its output is clean and keeps important metadata like IDs, classes, and titles intact.

It also supports editing SVG sprites, which helps with managing multiple icons in one file.

Some features include configurable keyboard shortcuts with over 100 commands, path operations (like unite and intersect), and arrangement tools (such as align, rotate, group).

Guides and grids help maintain precision while working.

While Boxy SVG is a solid SVG editor on Linux, it lacks detailed information about support for other platforms.

The summary and categories focus mainly on graphics and development but do not list advanced features.

Overall, Boxy SVG is a safe and reliable choice for Linux users who need a flexible tool to design and edit vector graphics.
