About SVG Optimization

SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) files often contain unnecessary data added by graphic editors like Adobe Illustrator, Inkscape, and Figma. This bloat includes XML comments, editor metadata, empty groups, default attribute values, and excessive whitespace that increases file size without affecting the visual output.

Optimizing SVGs reduces file size, speeds up page load times, and improves web performance. This is especially important for inline SVGs, icon systems, and illustrations used on the web where every kilobyte matters.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does SVG optimization do?
SVG optimization removes unnecessary data from SVG files without changing how they look. This includes XML comments, editor metadata (from Inkscape, Illustrator, etc.), empty elements, default attribute values, and redundant whitespace. The result is a smaller file that renders identically in all browsers.
Is it safe to optimize my SVG files with this tool?
Yes. This SVG optimizer runs entirely in your browser using JavaScript — no data is uploaded to any server. Your files stay completely private. The tool also shows a live preview so you can verify the optimized SVG looks correct before downloading.
How much file size reduction can I expect from SVG optimization?
Typical savings range from 20% to 60%, depending on the source. SVGs exported from editors like Adobe Illustrator or Inkscape often contain large amounts of metadata and editor-specific attributes that can be safely removed. Hand-coded SVGs that are already clean may see smaller reductions of 5-15%.
