What Hyvector is
Hyvector is a free, browser-based SVG editor that runs without installation or an account. It is intended for tasks such as adjusting icons, drafting logos, and cleaning SVG paths. Drawing tools include selection and node editing, a Bézier pen, paint brush, pencil, and parametric shapes. Paths can be scaled, rotated, and skewed, while a drag-and-drop element tree organizes document structure. The editor handles complex shaping and bidirectional text, including Nastaliq, Adlam, and Devanagari, and can convert text to outlines while preserving shaping. The maker says processing occurs locally and files never leave the device. Hyvector is described as light on memory and suitable for modest hardware. Graphics can be exported in SVG format. Planned additions include bitmap vectorization, SVG filter support, and dynamic stroke widths. Jan Bösenberg started the project as a solo developer; the footer identifies INCORS GmbH with him as copyright holder.
