Gapplin For Mac

Gapplin is a minimalist SVG viewer that also integrates file conversion capabilities. The utility can switch the file extension to SVG or SVGZ, or can export the Alpha channel to PNG, TIFF, or PDF files.

Within the Gapplin main window, you can visualize the content of the SVG or SVGZ files, zoom in or out the image, and use the lateral bars to scroll either vertically or horizontally. The app also provides details about the file size, the zoom level, and the current image width and height.

You can choose to edit the SVG file, which means that the files will be automatically opened in your default text editor. Note that via the Gapplin Preferences you can change the default external editor.

After the file is updated, Gapplin can automatically redraw the image, or you can manually trigger the function by pressing the Command + R hotkey.

By default, the Gapplin app comes with a white background mode that is completely opaque, but also features a dark background mode that allows you to see what is beneath the app window.

However, via the Gapplin Preferences you can quickly change the default background color, including for the dark mode, and adjust the opacity level in both cases. The same area allows you to choose to open the app in dark mode only when dealing with white images, never, or in all instances.

The SVG image can also be easily exported to the more popular PDF, TIFF, or PNG image file formats for easy sharing.

To sum up, Gapplin offers you the possibility to visualize SVG or SVGZ files and to edit them using a text editor. The app automatically redraws the image when you save the file.

Moreover, you can use Gapplin to export the SVG image to more popular image formats, such as PNG, TIFF, or PDF.
