The program is available as both a web app and a desktop application for Windows, macOS, ChromeOS, and Linux-based operating systems.

Boxy SVG is compatible with Apple desktop computers and laptops, touchscreen-based devices such as Google Pixelbook and Microsoft Surface[1].

The device must be able to run the latest stable version of Google Chrome, only saving files to the cloud storage is available.

[2] Some elements are in program's own namespace to either extend the feature set beyond what's available in the W3C SVG specification or provide a convenience layer for low-level details.

The application is based on the Electron framework and thus supports the same subset of the SVG format as Chromium-based web browsers such as Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, and Opera.
