How to edit an SVG file in Rayzia
- Open the editor. Go to rayzia.com and open the editor at /vector/. Nothing to download and no account needed to start. It runs in any browser on Windows, Mac, Linux, ChromeOS or a tablet.
- Open or drag in your .svg. Drag the file onto the canvas, or use File then Open. Rayzia reads it as native SVG, so every shape, path and letter arrives as its own editable object rather than a locked image.
- Select what you want and edit it. Click an element to select it. Change the fill or stroke to change an SVG colour, retype text in place, or switch to the pen and drag Bézier nodes to reshape a path. Resize by dragging the handles. Every step is one undo away.
- Export clean SVG, or PNG. Choose Export and pick SVG to get a tidy file back, or PNG if you need a raster copy. On the free plan you get SVG and PNG export and 3 cloud files, and Pro adds PDF export and unlimited storage.
A real editor, not a viewer
Plenty of sites will show you an SVG. Far fewer let you modify an SVG and get a usable file back. Because a Rayzia document is SVG at its core, the file you open is the file you edit. Paths stay as paths, and text stays as text you can retype.
That matters most when the change is small but fussy. Recolouring an icon set, swapping a logo's wordmark, tightening a curve that a converter left lumpy. You do the edit on the actual geometry, then the exported SVG carries only your artwork, not a pile of leftover cruft. If you want the full toolset behind this, that is the SVG editor and the tools it ships with.
Works on the browser you have
To edit SVG online you only need a tab. Rayzia is GPU-accelerated through Skia, so panning around a busy file stays smooth even on a laptop. It auto-saves as you work and keeps running if your connection drops.
There is more under the hood when you need it: layers, multiple artboards, gradients, your own uploaded fonts, correct Thai and complex-script text, reusable symbols and 150+ live effects. For a one-line colour fix you will not touch most of it, and that is fine. It is there the day the small edit turns into a real project.
Editing SVG: common questions
Can I edit an SVG file online without installing anything?
Yes. Rayzia runs entirely in the browser at rayzia.com. Open the editor, drag in your .svg, make your changes and export. There is nothing to download and it works on Windows, Mac, Linux, ChromeOS and tablets.
How do I change the colour of an SVG?
Open your file in Rayzia, click the shape or path you want to recolour, then set a new fill or stroke colour. You can recolour a single element or select several at once. Export as SVG when you are happy and the new colours are baked into the file.
Will editing keep my SVG as real vector paths?
Yes. A Rayzia document is native SVG, so your file opens as editable paths, nodes and text rather than a flattened image. You can move Bézier nodes, retype text and resize without losing quality, then export clean SVG.
Is it free to edit and export SVG?
Editing and SVG and PNG export are free, along with every tool, the AI and 3 cloud files. Pro is $8 a month and adds PDF export, unlimited cloud storage, 30-day history and watermark-free share links.
Can AI help me edit the file?
Yes. You can connect an AI account you already own, such as Claude or GPT, and it will draw, recolour, arrange and edit directly on the canvas while you watch. It runs on your own key, so there is nothing extra to pay Rayzia, and every change is one undo away.
