What is SVG Optimization?
SVG optimization reduces the file size of Scalable Vector Graphics by removing unnecessary data like comments, metadata, whitespace, and redundant attributes. Optimized SVGs load faster, improve page performance, and reduce bandwidth consumption.
This free online SVG optimizer cleans and minifies your SVG code in your browser. No files are uploaded to any server—all processing happens locally. Perfect for web developers, designers, and anyone who needs lean, efficient SVG files.
What Gets Optimized?
Comments
HTML-style comments added by editors like Illustrator or Figma add bytes without visual benefit.
Metadata
Title, description, and metadata elements aren't rendered and can usually be safely removed.
Whitespace
Indentation and line breaks make SVGs readable but add significant file size.
XML Declaration
The <?xml...?> declaration is optional for SVGs embedded in HTML5 pages.
Common Use Cases
Web Performance
Reduce page load time by shrinking icon and illustration file sizes.
Icon Libraries
Prepare optimized SVGs for component libraries or icon fonts.
Email Templates
Minimize SVG size for HTML emails where every byte counts.
Animation
Clean SVGs before adding CSS/JS animations for better performance.
SVG Optimization Tips
- Export clean from source: Configure your design tool to export minimal SVGs.
- Use named colors carefully: "red" is shorter than "#FF0000" but may render differently.
- Simplify paths: Reduce decimal precision in path data for further savings.
- Test after optimization: Always verify the optimized SVG renders correctly.
- Consider gzip: Serve SVGs with gzip compression for additional 60-80% reduction.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this tool as good as SVGO?
This is a lighter browser-based optimizer. For production builds, SVGO offers more aggressive optimizations. This tool is great for quick cleanup.
Will optimization break my SVG?
The preview shows your optimized SVG. Check that it looks correct before downloading. Complex SVGs with scripts or animations may need manual testing.
Is my SVG uploaded anywhere?
No! All processing is done locally in your browser. Your files never leave your device.
