I have tried to use ChatGPT and Google's Gemini to make SVG from simple logos bitmaps but its still a daunting task for them, so I guess tools like this one will still be needed for a while.
If you search for ‘vectorization AI’ there are a handful of specialized tools and apis that can do it. It worked well for a handful of logos I wanted to convert. Nano banana generated the raster logos, and these other tools vectorized them
Free idea: turn this into an MCP server. Give the agent the ability to virtually "hover" a path and see which part of the final render it corresponds to
It seems like the problem of pushing pixels around in an exact way and iterating on visual design is a problem that needs very specialized tools, regardless whether there is LLM support.
I keep trying to generate SVG using LLMS when I feel mermaidjs does not work. There has to be a better option here? I just want slightly more control than mermaidjs sometimes, but it seems its the de-facto default we are stuck with.
Same! My use case is 2d splines for use in openSCAD, stuff that eventually arrives at my doorstep from a 3d printing service. I just love the ability to overlay reference bitmaps, super valuable for the parts I've been making.
Before stumbling upon this tool, I've spent a lot of time tweaking SVP paths in "mostly manual" files in other projects, it's a recurring theme for me. I was delegating the more interesting paths to Inkscape or similar, but keeping the basic structure handwritten. This tool would have made my life so much easier!
I tried it in Firefox and Chrome, but changing the SVG shape did not change the favicon displayed on the tab. I don't think I understand what you meant.
PS: This submission of mine is at least a day old, but it now shows as posted about 3 hours ago; I presume this is because it is from the second-chance pool.

I use this often when I need to work with individual path commands, it’s a great tool!

Nice! I like how it highlights the commands when you hover over them, allowing you to see what they actually do.
Very cool! I wish more editors would exist as web services, easily solving the cross-platformity that way.
I'm in the opposite camp. Give me some local tool that does disappear when the maintainer moves to the next thing.
Well and I can eat the cake as well, make it some native app that has proper performance.

This is open source, so whether or not it's a web app should make no difference here
What is the problem with this app's performance?
Does it support converting between line segments and bezier curves smoothly?
Yes
cool stuff, the favicon could even replicate the current svg state

I think they meant it as a feature suggestion (given that it should be easy to implement since SVG files can be used as favicons).
