Thor Vector Graphics (commonly abbreviated as ThorVG) is an open-source vector graphics rendering library written in C++. It supports SVG and Lottie (file format) rendering across CPU and GPU backends and is designed for portable deployment across desktop, embedded, mobile, and web platforms.

ThorVG Adoption

[edit]

ThorVG has been adopted by a number of open-source and commercial software projects, including the following:

History

[edit]
  • 2020 – ThorVG was initially developed by Hermet Park and released publicly in its early form.
  • 2021 – With contributions from Samsung Electronics, an initial stable version was completed and integrated into the Tizen platform.[10] In the same year, the Godot (game engine) also adopted ThorVG for vector asset rendering.[3]
  • 2022 – ThorVG's official logo was introduced, designed by Peter Vullings.
  • 2023 – Support for the Lottie (file format) was added with the involvement of LottieFiles in the development. Additionally, the LVGL framework integrated ThorVG for vector rendering of UI components.[11]
  • 2024 – WebGL and WebGPU render backends were introduced.[12] The dotLottie project adopted ThorVG as its core engine,[13] and LottieFiles became an official sponsor of ThorVG.[14]
  • 2025 – The Lottie Creator project integrated ThorVG as its vector graphics output engine. ThorVG was also adopted as an official component in the ESP-IoT-Solution platform.[15] In the same year, members of the Blender (software) development community discussed the potential use of ThorVG within Blender's rendering infrastructure and ThorVG has been integrated into it as a third-party library.[16][17]
  • 2026 - ThorVG version 1.0 was officially released, with official support for WebCanvas introduced[18].

Reception

[edit]

ThorVG has been discussed within the open-source and embedded graphics communities for its lightweight design and cross-platform rendering capabilities. Independent technical discussions and evaluations have appeared in developer forums and engineering publications, including articles by third-party engineering teams.[19][20][21]
