About the SVG Optimizer

Our SVG Optimizer is a powerful online tool designed to reduce the file size of your SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) files. When you export SVGs from design applications like Adobe Illustrator or Figma, they often contain a lot of extra, unnecessary code like comments, editor metadata, and redundant information. This tool safely cleans and minifies your SVG code, making your files lighter and faster to load on websites.

How to Use the Tool

  • Paste your SVG code into the "Input SVG" text box on the left.
  • Select the optimization options you want to apply. We've separated them into "Safe" and "Potentially Destructive" categories. For most cases, the safe options are all you need.
  • Click the "Optimize SVG" button.
  • The optimized code will appear in the "Output SVG" box on the right.
  • You can instantly see a visual comparison in the preview panes and check the file size reduction in the stats bar.
  • Click "Copy Code" or "Download SVG" to get your optimized file.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is SVG optimization?

SVG optimization is the process of removing all the unnecessary code from an SVG file without changing how it looks visually. This includes deleting hidden layers, comments, default attributes that aren't needed, and simplifying path data. The result is a much smaller file that loads faster on the web.

Is it safe to optimize my SVG? Will it break my image?

It is generally very safe. We use SVGO, the industry-standard optimizer that is trusted by thousands of developers. The "Safe Optimizations" are enabled by default and are designed to never break your image. The "Potentially Destructive" options should be used with care; for example, `removeViewBox` can make an SVG unresponsive, but it can also be a valid optimization in certain cases. Always check the live preview to confirm your image looks correct.

Why is a smaller SVG file better?

Smaller file sizes are crucial for website performance. A smaller SVG means less data for your users to download, which leads to faster page load times. This is especially important for users on slower mobile connections. Faster websites provide a better user experience and can even rank better in search engines.

What are "numeric precision" settings for?

SVG files contain a lot of numbers for coordinates and paths (e.g., d="M15.12345 32.6789"). The "Round Numeric Values" option allows you to reduce the number of decimal places for these values. A precision of 1 or 2 is often enough for high-quality display on the web and can significantly reduce file size, especially on complex SVGs.

Is my SVG code private when I use this tool?

Yes, your data is 100% private. This tool runs entirely in your web browser. The SVG code you paste is processed on your own computer and is never sent to our servers. Your work remains completely confidential.
