IMPORT

Open any SVG.
Even animated ones.

Bring in work from other tools and keep editing it. Layers, shapes, text and keyframes come in as things you can select and change, not as a flat picture.

A CSS-animated SVG from another tool, dropped on an empty canvas: its groups become layers and its animation becomes keyframes, so you can change it like your own: here the moon's last keyframe is dragged higher.

Figma, Illustrator, Inkscape

Groups keep their names and order, transforms become position, rotate and scale, shapes stay shapes and text stays text.

Animated SVGs

Animations exported from supported SVG animation tools, with a JS player or as CSS, open as keyframes you can edit: motion paths, easing, morphs, gradients, and the length, repeat and speed.

CSS animations

@keyframes on an SVG’s elements become keyframes too: opacity, colors, stroke, dashes, sizes and transforms.

Your own exports, editable

Tick Include the editable project when you export, and the SVG opens back in SVGcinema exactly as you left it.

Masks and filters

Clip paths and masks become clipping and mask groups; a blur or a drop shadow becomes a filter you can animate.

Open or add

Open an SVG as a new project, or add it to the one you’re in: its layers arrive in a group, and a longer animation lengthens your timeline.

IMAGES

Bring photos. Ship them light.

Images are layers like any other: move, scale, rotate, fade and mask them alongside your vectors.

Add images

Drop files on the canvas or into the Assets panel, then click one to place it. PNG, JPG, GIF, WebP, AVIF, BMP, ICO, TIFF and HEIC all work; TIFF and HEIC are converted for you. Your images are kept in this browser between visits and saved, untouched, inside the project file.

Paste from design apps

Paste Figma’s “Copy as SVG” straight onto the canvas with Ctrl V, or drop SVG files on it. Each arrives as layers you can animate.

Shipped light

On export, each image can be resized to the size it plays at and saved in the smallest format. Try it on the Export page →
