macSVG is a MIT-licensed open-source macOS application for visually designing and editing HTML5 SVG 1.1 vector graphics and animation, using the macOS WebKit framework for interactive rendering and Cocoa plug-in bundles for element editing. It produces standalone SVG documents with path animation, shape morphing, and SMIL effects suitable for web pages and mobile apps.

Use cases

• design animated svg graphics for a web page on mac
• edit svg animation xml with a visual editor
• create svg path animation without hand-writing code
• morph shapes with smil animation
• make lightweight animated graphics to replace gif or flash
• draw and animate bezier vector paths for html5

When to choose

• you want a free native macOS GUI app specifically for authoring SVG art and SMIL animation
• you need small, resolution-independent animated graphics for HTML5 web views across desktop and mobile platforms
• you want to visually edit bezier paths, stroke-dasharray effects, and shape morphing rather than editing XML by hand

When to avoid

• you need a full general-purpose vector illustration tool for print or complex artwork rather than SVG animation
• you need a cross-platform desktop editor - macSVG runs on macOS only
• you need a project with recent maintenance - the last release was 2022 and it depends on the legacy WebKit WebView Apple is moving away from
