SVG-edit is a fast, open source, web-based, JavaScript-driven SVG drawing editor that works in any modern browser.
SVG-edit is intended for users who need to do quick edits to existing Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) images and do not want to use proprietary or open-source software that requires installation.
