A quick guide to creating and reopening SVG annotations.

Export to SVG

Once you're done, click Export (big red button in top right corner).

(Optional/Paid option) You can choose to keep or remove hidden layers, giving you a clean, scalable SVG file.

05

Reopen a PictoTag SVG

Drag & drop a previously exported PictoTag SVG (or use the file picker). The app detects the PictoTag stamp and restores your base image, layers, and metadata.

After import, the metadata viewer (top-right) lists every layer’s title and note. Click a list item or any shape with the Select tool to open the metadata modal and edit it.

Friendly toasts now confirm imports or show errors instead of alerts, so you always know what happened.
