I want to make a svg file/vector that can open in any image viewer. I have done it as an Inkscape svg but it is saved as the inkscape logo. I assume you need the program on your computer to open it. I tried uploading it to my Drive and opening it but couldn't. Is there a way I can do this in Inkscape or do I need another program?
If a svg required then it is Inkscape or possibly LibreOffice Draw (best for full page diagrams) otherwise not free such as Ad*be PS / Illustrator or CorelDraw.
You will not get "any image viewer" to open svg. All depends on the viewer and the content of the svg.
I do not know how far along your Inkscape image is but you might need a little pre-save such as this. Much the same as Gimp crop-to-content. Inkscape will show a white background, not there in the svg. You can turn it off.
Then a save is simple except there are two types Inkscape svg which keeps some Inkscape add-ons that do not always show in a viewer or a basic Plain svg. Try that first as a 'more' universal option.
Then alas, all depends on the viewer. This assortment from good to bad. The Web browser is ok, just shows transparency as if a white background.
best of luck
