SVG Icon Editor for Developers

Create pixel-perfect SVG icons with live code export and local MCP automation for Codex, Claude, VS Code Copilot, and Cursor.
Export SVG, Minified SVG, SVG Symbol, XAML, WPF Geometry, VectorDrawable, SwiftUI, ReactTS, VueTS, C++, and batch bitmap assets.

Version 1.40 brings public MCP automation to the Windows release. Available in 34 languages with right-to-left support; the macOS MCP rollout is following.

Lightweight & Fast

No bloat. Built in C++ for performance. Opens in seconds and handles icons with ease.

Developer Code Export

Instantly export icons as SVG, XAML, WPF Geometry, VectorDrawable, SwiftUI, ReactTS, VueTS, C++, and more using the Live Code Viewer.

MCP Automation

Connect Codex, Claude, VS Code Copilot, or Cursor to the running editor and automate real icon work.

Preview & Variants

Live pixel/vector preview with drag‑and‑drop SVG export, plus one‑click theme variants.

Made For Developers

Axialis IconVectors is built for developers: design on pixel-perfect grids, display ready-to-use code for SVG, ReactTS, VueTS, XAML, WPF Geometry, VectorDrawable, SwiftUI, and C++, and now drive the live editor through MCP from Codex, Claude, VS Code Copilot, or Cursor. New in 1.40: public MCP automation, expanded export/code coverage, and setup tutorials for AI-assisted icon workflows.

Native SVG

Export raw, optimized SVGs ready for direct use in web or design systems. Keep stroke properties flexible for theming with currentColor.

AI Automation with MCP

IconVectors 1.40 exposes the running editor through the Model Context Protocol. Instead of generating detached SVG text, an AI client can inspect the current document, create geometry, edit paths, apply palette operations, render previews, and export code from the live application.

The current public setup guides use the Windows 1.40 release paths. The macOS MCP package is being prepared.

What Developers Are Saying

"I replaced Illustrator for icons. Finally, an editor built for developers, not artists."

Alex M., Front‑end Dev

"IconVectors is the missing link between design and development. I save hours with the code export."

Jane D., UI Engineer

"Super fast, clean interface, and the Live Code Viewer is brilliant. Best SVG tool for devs."

Marie L., Software Designer

Frequently Asked Questions

Which file formats does IconVectors support?

IconVectors opens and saves SVG files natively. You can also export to minified SVG, SVG Symbol, XAML, WPF Geometry, VectorDrawable, SwiftUI, ReactTS, VueTS, C++, and various bitmap formats (PNG, ICO, JPG, BMP, TGA, TIFF, GIF, XPM, PCX, PNM).

Can I open SVG files from other tools like Illustrator or Figma?

Yes. IconVectors is fully compatible with SVG files created in apps such as Adobe Illustrator, Figma, and Inkscape. Imported transforms are applied to geometry for consistent results across frameworks.

How is IconVectors different from Inkscape or Illustrator?

Unlike general illustration tools, IconVectors is optimized for pixel-perfect icon design. It includes a built-in Live Code Viewer for SVG/minified SVG/SVG Symbol/XAML/WPF Geometry/VectorDrawable/SwiftUI/ReactTS/VueTS/C++, fast batch export for multiple sizes, and one-click generation of theme/state variants.

What is the Live Code Viewer and how does it help developers?

The Live Code Viewer updates in real time as you edit your icon, showing clean code in multiple formats (SVG, minified SVG, SVG Symbol, XAML, WPF Geometry, VectorDrawable, SwiftUI, ReactTS, VueTS, C++). You can copy snippets instantly for integration into IDEs like VS Code or Visual Studio.

What is MCP integration in IconVectors?

Version 1.40 adds a local Model Context Protocol server so AI clients can work with the running editor itself. They can inspect the open document, create or edit geometry, apply palette operations, render previews, and export results through the same live document model used by the desktop UI.

Which AI clients work with IconVectors MCP?

IconVectors publishes setup tutorials for Codex CLI, Claude, VS Code Copilot, and Cursor. Other local MCP hosts can also connect if they can launch IconVectorsMcp.exe.

Can I convert text into editable vector paths?

Yes. The Text Tool converts typed text into vector paths (one glyph per character) using installed fonts, so you can edit it like any other shape.

How do color palettes and swatches work?

The Color Palettes panel lets you manage swatches, sort them, and add all colors used in your icon. Left-click applies a fill color and right-click applies a stroke color.

Can I drag the preview into other apps?

Yes. You can drag the icon from the Preview Panel to another app; IconVectors exports a temporary SVG during the drag.

Does IconVectors support multiple windows and document recovery?

Yes. You can open multiple editor windows (Shift+Ctrl+N) to work on icons side-by-side and copy elements between them. An automatic recovery system saves your work in the background and restores it after crashes.

Is IconVectors available in multiple languages?

Yes. The interface is available in 34 languages, including right-to-left support where needed.

Can I undo/redo changes without limits?

Absolutely. IconVectors has a full Undo/Redo system. All actions — drawing, transforming, coloring, or editing paths — can be undone or redone, with no fixed limit in history.

What licensing and trial options are available?

A 30-day free trial is included. Licenses are perpetual (use forever) with 1 year of free updates. After that, you can renew updates at your convenience. One license covers multiple devices if you’re the primary user.

Does IconVectors include tools for dark/disabled or state variants?

Yes. You can generate dark theme, hot (hover), and disabled versions automatically using the Icon menu. Overlays and shadows can also be added for status badges or indicators.
