## What it is
SVGEdit is a fast, web-based SVG drawing editor that runs in any modern browser, built on the @svgedit/svgcanvas library. It can be used directly online, self-hosted, or embedded, with the svgcanvas component reusable to build custom editors.

## Use cases
- edit svg files in the browser
- embed an svg editor in my web app
- free open source vector drawing tool
- build a custom svg editor on top of a canvas library
- self-host an online svg editor
- draw and edit vector graphics without installing software

## When to choose
- you need a browser-based SVG editor with no installation
- you want to embed SVG editing into your own web application
- you want to reuse a mature SVG canvas library to build a custom editor

## When to avoid
- you need raster image editing like Photoshop or GIMP
- you need a full desktop vector suite with print-grade features like Illustrator or Inkscape
- you need offline-first editing without a browser
