About this tool

SVG files exported from design tools like Illustrator, Figma and Inkscape are full of overhead the browser does not need: XML declarations, editor comments and namespaces, empty groups, and coordinates with far more decimal places than any screen can show. This optimizer strips that cruft and rounds excessive precision, shrinking the file without any visible change to the graphic.

Smaller SVGs load faster and are easier to inline directly in HTML or CSS, which is common for icons and logos. Because the reductions are to metadata and redundant markup rather than the shape data, the visual result is identical — you get the same image in a fraction of the bytes.

It runs in your browser, so your graphics are not uploaded. Use it on any SVG headed for the web, especially icons you plan to inline, where every kilobyte and every unnecessary tag adds up across a page.

Frequently asked questions

What does the SVG optimizer remove?
Editor metadata, XML declarations, comments, unused namespaces and empty groups, and it rounds overly precise coordinates — all overhead that does not affect how the graphic looks.
Will optimising change how my SVG looks?
No. It removes redundant markup and trims precision, so the visible image stays the same while the file gets smaller.
Why optimise SVGs at all?
Smaller files load faster and are cleaner to inline in HTML or CSS, which matters especially for icons and logos used across many pages.
Is my file uploaded?
No. Optimisation runs in your browser, so the SVG is not sent anywhere.
Can it handle files from Figma and Illustrator?
Yes. It is designed to clean up the verbose output those editors produce, including their namespaces and metadata.
