How to edit an SVG file
SVG can be edited as markup or in a visual tool. For production assets, code review plus live preview catches many common problems.
Edit geometry carefully
Paths, circles, rectangles, and viewBox values control how the image is drawn and scaled.
Preview after each change
Render the edited SVG to catch broken XML or unexpected layout shifts.
