About SVG Optimization

SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) files exported from tools like Adobe Illustrator, Figma, Sketch, and Inkscape often contain significant amounts of unnecessary metadata: editor-specific tags, XML namespaces that aren't used, comments, excessive decimal precision, empty groups, and whitespace. These bloat the file size without contributing to the rendered output. For web use especially, smaller SVGs mean faster page loads and less bandwidth.

This optimizer performs a series of safe cleaning operations: it strips XML comments, removes metadata and title tags (which are invisible to users), collapses redundant whitespace, removes default attribute values, and trims unnecessary decimal precision. The result is a smaller, cleaner SVG that renders identically. All processing happens locally in your browser โ€” your SVG is never uploaded to any server.


How to Use

  1. Upload an .svg file by dropping it or clicking the upload zone, or paste SVG code directly.
  2. The Preview tab shows the rendered graphic; Source shows the original code.
  3. Click the โœจ Optimised tab to see the cleaned version with a file-size comparison.
  4. Download the original or optimised SVG, or copy the optimised code to your clipboard.

Frequently Asked Questions

This optimizer only applies conservative, safe transformations โ€” removing comments, metadata, unused namespaces, and collapsing whitespace. It does not alter path data, colours, transforms, or structural elements. The resulting SVG should render identically to the original in all modern browsers. Always preview the optimised version before using it in production.

Results vary by source. SVGs exported from Illustrator with metadata and comments can see 30โ€“50% reductions. Hand-coded SVGs with minimal bloat may only see 5โ€“10%. For maximum compression, consider also gzip-compressing SVGs at the server level (svgz), which typically adds another 60โ€“80% reduction on top.

No. All SVG processing happens entirely in your browser. Your SVG files are never uploaded to any server, never logged, and never stored anywhere outside your device.
