Great experience overall, I got to try this software after some blogs recommendations, and it happened to perform great, thusly we started to employ the software more and more often in the place of Adobe After Effects.

Pros

It does have a free trial for those looking to take a look.
The user interface is tremendously user friendly
The rendering system just works how it should.

Cons

It is not as capable as Adobe After Effects, some features are missing. Other than that, must of the vector animations can be performed hassle free.

Alternatives Considered

Adobe After Effects

Reasons for Choosing SVGator

It seems to consume fewer resources from the PC while rendering and editing, and it is great given the fact that you usually have other vector editor software open simultaneously. The user interface seems pretty straightforward when editing and it makes the work to run smoothly while designing.

Switched From

Adobe After Effects

Reasons for Switching to SVGator

It is fairly less expensive and the user interface is easier to manage.

Simply mind-blowing. Easiest and best solution for all kinds of animations, vector, GIF, video, you name it.

Pros

SVGator is simply impressive for integrating all the essential tools designers need for vector animation into a single, user-friendly interface. I never used anything similar and it seems revolutionary. Nothing, not even After Effects compares to this, exactly because SVGator is dedicated for something specific, vector animation. You get exactly what you create in the app, no differences. The fact that this is available so easily in my browser without any plugins is just mind-blowing.

Cons

Nothing to say here. SVGator gives exactly what it offers, no differences.

Svgator solved the need to have a light weight animation for a web project

Svgator solved the need to have a light weight animation for a web project

Pros

What I like most is that the software is easy to use, watching only few hours of tutorial you can do most of the thing that you have in mind. The output is a light weight svg animation that is perfect for the web, you can forget animated gifs or infographic videos! Furthermore the biggest animation software (adobe) doesn’t support animated gif yet, so this software is a valide alternative.

Cons

The software needs to be developed. I would like text and paragraph support, to save entire animation in library (for to be used in differents works), exportation also in other format (supported from iOS app and other software) and maybe in an html that can be shared, svg static images of a frame (for example I need to insert the draw in a mock-up and the others software doesn’t support animated svg)

Response from SVGator

Thank you for your feedback and the suggestions, we will definitely take them into consideration!

SVGator is a really great and simple to use. There are a ton of features and tools offered that have helped me with many projects.

Pros

SVGator is a very user-friendly software and it's cloud-based. It's great for vector animation and perfect for those with limited skills as there are many tools to help you get the job done..

Cons

There isn't really anything negative to say about SVGator. The software isn't as powerful as the more premium options out there but it's is pretty close.

Cons

Their customer service is lacking, they don't work with after effects and kind of charge you to try anything that is worth trying.

There aren't that many great SVG animation tools out there and SVGator is among the best. Unfortunately, this is simply a testament to how poor most of the tools are. There's definitely a lot of room for improvement. I ended up hand animating a lot of what I needed.

Pros

SVGator is ok for extremely simple SVG animations. Exports well-formed SVG files.

Cons

The animation tools are very limited. Animating a few shapes is easy enough, but anything complex like nesting shapes, moving multiple shapes at a time, repeating animations etc quickly becomes a chore.

Alternatives Considered

How to make a WordPress website interesting, again

Reviewed on 16/10/2020

We're very satisfied with all the exciting stuff that we can do thanks to your latest features, but sometimes we wish there was a sort of "WordPress safe" option. We're not into programming and we rely only on the converter for WordPress to run our animations on some websites. Wouldn't it be cool if there were a toggle to grey out all the animations and effects that don't work with WordPress, so that for each project we can choose whether we need all your new tools or just play it safe with fewer and safer options that work straight away in WP?

Pros

What my co-workers and I love most about SVGator is the ability to create stunning animations without a single line of code. It's super easy! And the final result is much lighter than other solutions we tried so far, so our websites load in virtually no time. We're able to create stunning website that don't even look WordPress-based

Cons

I love SVGator but I must say that the SVG converter for WordPress doesn't always work as expected and we often had to rework our animations in order to get them right for every browser. And of course this doesn't depend only on the converter, but as a long-time user of your piece of software, I have to admit that with the previous – less powerful – animation engine you had, we didn't have any single issue in years.

Response from SVGator

Thank you so much for your feedback. Yes, we are aware of the compatibility issues when it comes to using animated SVG files on WordPress. We are currently working on a plug-in which will make this a lot easier. Of course, there will be no need to use the converter. We will send you an email once this plug-in is available! :)

Amazing tool to bring your designs to life

Reviewed on 23/05/2019

Pros

This software really feels like magic – it allows even non-skilled people to add incredibly smooth and catchy animations to icons, illustrations and other vector files. I love how it embraces the concepts of video editing (e.g. timelines, effects, keyframes) and applies them to the SVG space. The interface is gorgeous and very intuitive, you’ll be up and running in minutes and you’ll get unexpectedly great results with your animations.

Cons

Nothing really! I think this is the best software in the SVG animation space, by far!

Response from SVGator

Thank you so much for your feedback, we are glad you like SVGator. More updates are coming soon! :)

the overall experience was good and enjoyable, the software is easy to work with and simple to learn

Pros

What I like most about SVGator is that it is online and cloud-based, it does not overload the computer and allows the developer more dynamism when using the software. The interface is very simple, intuitive and friendly, learning is not so difficult even because on the internet there are many tutorials that help with this. The color work that this program has is very good and efficient. Besides, producing SVG animations is very fast (much faster) than most of the other programs.

Cons

Honestly I don't have any negative points to put, the company always seems to be listening well to criticism and always trying to improve the software and this is very good, over the time I used it I saw that some tools were updated and this is very good and leads me to believe that other tools will be improved. The price is not the cheapest but this is a negative point that as you work and earn your money it will decrease

Main benefits for us is the amount of time we save. There's no third-party software needed to create seamless SVG animations they way you want with CSS or JS attributes.

Pros

What I like about SVGator the most is the ease of use. I can quickly create an icon or illustration in XD or Illustrator, export it as an SVG, create a new project in SVGator and apply the motion I desire. Once complete its a simple "EXPORT" and straight into the devs hand for implementation.

Cons

I didn' find any cons with this software. This is because I have some background knowledge in motion graphics, so the tools and language were all familiar to me. It can be a steep learning curve for those who have no experience to achieve quick results.

Pros

We create machines that are delivered in 32 languages. This requires a lot of documentation with translations. With SVGator you can explain parameters graphically and thus save costs.

Cons

Because the files are in the cloud, the software is unfortunately only partially usable. Our security department does not allow this!

Another thing I dislike is the fact that I couldn't replace the SVG I uploaded and I had to create another project. I almost ran out of projects because I had to fix some nodes in an external software multiple times.

Hi there! We are glad you like SVGator.
You can copy keyframes from one item to another, if the animator is the same. This will not work for morphing, as morphing also depends on the number of node points.

Pros

This is a very cheap platform with very good picture quality and animated effects. It has a well organized and attractive interface of tools. It is quick and easy to learn because of the tutorials that SVGator provides. I found it to be a very lightweight cloud platform and it did not cause my workspace to crash or slow down.

Worth Every Penny for SVG Animating

Reviewed on 18/10/2020

Pros

SVGator takes something relatively complicated (key frames and animation timing) and allows you to drag and drop your way to a beautiful polished product. It's worth its cost, though steep, because even a novice can succeed in creating professional animations.

Cons

The price is a little steep per month, but you are getting what you pay for in this instance. Adobe does the same type of monthly subscription pricing and we all know the Adobe suite is also very valuable. Other than price, I do not know of any cons.
