Inspired by the in-game editor from Phantasy Star Online 2 (SEGA), Symbol Art Editor Online is a browser vector-based image editor used to produce digital art made of symbols. The application supports .sar (Symbol Art files) and .saml (Art project files).

- Symbol Art Editor is a proprietary editor developed and owned by SEGA. I do not own the idea of a Symbol Art Editor. This is purely a fan-made application inspired by SEGA's editor developed to let other fans and any curious artist have fun crafting symbol artwork outside of the game Phantasy Star Online 2 in a dedicated user-friendly editor engineered to be quick to use and that minimizes effort and repetition required to create quality symbol art. The only profit I expect from this application is people's happiness.
