Sketsa is a vector drawing application based on SVG. It features various tools for optimizing content creation, giving designers unsurpassed support for creativity. It offers both visual design tool and source editing tool.
SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) is an open standard language for describing two-dimensional (2D) graphics in XML. It is a W3C recommendation. SVG allows for three types of graphic objects: vector graphic shapes (e.g., paths consisting of straight lines and curves), images and text. Graphical objects can be styled, transformed and composited into previously rendered objects. The feature set includes nested transformations, clipping paths, alpha masks, filter effects and template objects.

Currently, not all SVG features are implemented by Sketsa. However, you could still use the Source editor to write SVG features you want. The unimplemented features will be implemented through time and subsequent release.
Currently, There are no formal support for SVG Profiles eg: SVGT or SVGB yet. However, Sketsa produces very clean XML code and no proprietary namespace added. This means you could use Sketsa to produce SVGT or SVGB compliant code by changing document version and baseProfile attributes. The most important things regarding SVGT or SVGB are that you must be aware the supported features set in each profile, for example: Filter is not supported on SVGT. For information in specific profiles please check out the following Specs:
All modern web browser support SVG. eg: Google Chrome, Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Opera, Safari
