If you're looking to delve into the world of vector graphics, understanding SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) is a great start. As a W3C standard, SVG stands out from bitmap images because it isn't composed of a fixed set of pixels. Instead, SVG consists of a collection of shapes, precisely defining their characteristics. The magic of SVG lies in its scalability; you can enlarge it to any size without losing a speck of detail.
Enter PainterSVG, the free painter app tailored for SVG enthusiasts. This application is your go-to editor for crafting and manipulating SVG images. With PainterSVG, you can:
- Create and refine shapes such as lines, circles, and rectangles with ease.
- Design and edit paths with precision, supporting straight lines, cubic lines, and quadratic lines. Adjusting the path is as simple as dragging stop points and control points.
- Effortlessly define the stroke and fill of all shapes and paths.
- Choose from a single color fill, or opt for more dynamic linear or radial gradient fills for all your shapes.
- Seamlessly select, deselect, drag, move, resize, and rotate elements.
- Easily zoom in and out to focus on the details that matter.
- Group or ungroup elements to organize your work as you see fit.
