Now SVG is becoming more and more popular on the Web. As a vector graphics format, it has many advantages over bitmaps and has been applied more and more widely, such as icon and illustration.

Since SVG is an XML graphic, it is possible to implement some basic graphics using code, but it is still a pain to implement slightly more complex graphics. At this point, you have to use professional vector design software, such as Adobe Illustrator or Sketch. However, if you’re just improvising small ICONS or shapes, you don’t need heavy design software like Adobe Illustrator and can use a lighter, online SVG editor. Here is a selection of 15 very handy, lightweight SVG editors that you can use sometimes to get more out of your work.
