You need a simple diagram, badge, or illustration that stays sharp when resized. OGAD (Off Grid AI Desktop) can generate SVG code with a local model and preview the graphic beside the chat. You can describe the shapes and labels, revise them, and keep the source on your computer.

SVG is useful when the output is made from clear shapes, lines, and text. It is different from generating a photograph: you get editable vector code rather than only a raster image.
What can you create this way?
Start with a small graphic such as a process badge, labeled illustration, or simple icon. Specify the canvas size, colors, and exact wording. The fewer assumptions the model has to make, the easier the result is to inspect.
SVG preview is a free core feature on supported Mac and Windows computers. Download a local text model suited to code before the offline test. This workflow does not need an image-generation model.
Try a concrete graphic
Create an SVG illustration of a small house with a solar panel on the roof. Use a 400 by 300 viewBox, simple shapes, dark outlines, and four colors. Add the exact label “Solar home” below it. Do not use external images, fonts, scripts, or links. Return one fenced svg code block.
The expected result is a scalable vector illustration in the canvas. Check the label and the shape arrangement. The model can still produce invalid markup or a visually awkward drawing.
Getting started
- Select a downloaded local model in Models > Text.
- Send the graphic request in Chat.
- Open the artifact card or use Open canvas in the reply menu.
- Inspect Preview, then select Code to see the SVG.
- Ask for one change, such as a wider roof or more space around the label.
Keep the exact wording in the revision request when labels matter. Ask for the complete updated SVG so you can inspect a single version.
How do you keep the raw SVG?
The canvas Download action wraps this preview in an HTML file. If you need a raw .svg file for a design tool or website, copy the SVG from Code into a plain-text file and save it with the .svg extension. Include the full <svg>...</svg> element.
This distinction is visible in the released export code: SVG previews download as HTML documents. Do not rename that HTML wrapper to .svg and assume it becomes raw SVG.
Write a visual brief the model can follow
A vector brief benefits from constraints that you can see. Name the important shapes, their relative position, and the space around them. For the solar-house example, the panel must read as something attached to the roof, and the label must remain separate from the drawing.
A focused revision could be:
Keep the same house and four-color palette. Make the solar panel clearly visible on the roof. Move the label below the illustration with more space above it. Keep every shape inside the viewBox. Return the complete SVG.
This asks for visible changes while preserving the rest of the graphic. If you change the subject, layout, palette, and text in one request, it becomes harder to tell whether the model improved the result you meant to keep.
For a small icon, ask for fewer shapes and no fine lettering. For a larger labeled illustration, use more space for the label and check it at the intended display size. The same SVG can scale, but every detail does not remain useful when the whole graphic becomes small.
Keep an editable source, not only a preview
Save the raw SVG alongside a short description of its purpose. When you need another version, supply that code with the change request instead of relying on the model to recreate it from a vague memory.
For example, if the graphic belongs in a document with a dark background, ask for a version whose outlines and text remain visible there. Compare both on their actual backgrounds before choosing one.
Do not assume that exporting the preview makes text editable in every design application. Import behavior and font availability vary. Open the raw SVG in the destination tool and check the result there; use that result to decide whether a simpler label or different font choice is needed.
The useful outcome is a small graphic whose source you can retain and revise locally. Start with that before asking the model to draw a complex illustration with many precise details.
What should you check before reusing it?
Open the saved SVG in the tool where you intend to use it. Check small and large sizes, text readability, and whether the viewBox leaves enough space around the graphic.
Inspect any external references. For an offline graphic, keep shapes and styling inside the SVG and avoid remote fonts or images. Font rendering can differ between computers even when the graphic itself is scalable.
A clean preview does not establish that the code is suitable for every embedding context. Review generated markup before putting it into a public site or another application.
Download OGAD, describe a small vector illustration, and inspect the first SVG. Save the raw code when you want to keep editing it elsewhere.
