New in IconVectors 2.20 for Windows

Edit from VS Code. Reuse Styles. Automate your icon pipeline.

Move between your code and the visual editor, give an icon family a consistent appearance, and prepare assets from scripts or coding agents. Version 2.20 adds the bundled VS Code extension, reusable and embedded Styles, an independent CLI, SVG source repair and 170 MCP tools.

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, Cursor, VS Code Copilot, Gemini CLI, Kiro, Cline, GitHub Copilot CLI or Junie to the running editor and automate real icon work, including AI SVG cleanup.

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, keep stroke widths constant as icons scale, display ready-to-use code for SVG, ReactTS, VueTS, XAML, WPF Geometry, VectorDrawable, SwiftUI, and C++, and drive the live editor through MCP from Codex, Claude, Cursor, VS Code Copilot, Gemini CLI, Kiro, Cline, or GitHub Copilot CLI. New in Windows 2.20: VS Code editing, Styles libraries and embedded styles, a CLI, and 170 MCP tools. Assemble artwork with the Element Library, preview the result, then export the SVG or code your project needs.

Native SVG

Export raw, optimized SVGs ready for direct use in web or design systems, and keep them themeable with currentColor across light and dark mode.

Analyze, Clean Up, and Automate Icons

IconVectors keeps the dedicated Analyze/Clean Up Icon workflow and local Model Context Protocol integration current alongside production tools such as the new Icon Explorer and batch processing, Element Library, Pixel-Align Selection, and Auto Gradient. Instead of working on detached SVG text, you can inspect the live document, detect off-grid geometry or inconsistent strokes, apply focused fixes, and let AI clients automate creation, cleanup, preview rendering, gradient styling, Explorer navigation, batch operations, and code export from the real editor.

For a practical cleanup pass, read Analyze and Clean Up SVG Icons Before Export. If your starting point is AI output, see the AI-generated SVG cleanup workflow.

Connect the live editor to your preferred coding client. Windows 2.20 provides 170 MCP tools, including Styles operations, and Small, Medium and Full profiles. The new Junie setup guide helps configure a suitable tool catalog. Read the 2.20 release announcement.

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?

IconVectors opens SVG files from tools such as Adobe Illustrator, Figma and Inkscape, within its supported SVG feature set. Windows 2.20 adds a source repair editor to help locate and correct import errors, with optional additional SVG checks.

How is IconVectors different from Inkscape or Illustrator?

IconVectors focuses on SVG icons for software: precise drawing, pixel previews, reusable colors and code export. Windows 2.20 adds visual editing from Visual Studio Code, complete Styles presets, shared embedded styles and a command-line interface.

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?

The local MCP server lets coding agents inspect and edit the open icon, apply styles, render previews, export results and automate Explorer batches. Windows 2.20 exposes 170 tools. Choose Small (40), Medium (80) or Full (170) to match your client.

Which AI clients work with IconVectors MCP?

Setup guides cover Codex CLI, Claude Desktop or Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code Copilot, Gemini CLI, Kiro, Cline, GitHub Copilot CLI and Junie. Other local MCP-compatible clients can connect by launching the IconVectors MCP companion.

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 Colors panel has PALETTES for reusable swatches and COLORS for HEX, RGB and HSL picking. Windows 2.20 adds STYLES for complete appearance presets, including gradients, stroke settings and opacity. Left-click a color to apply Fill; right-click to apply Stroke.

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.
