SVG Optimizer
Reduce SVG file size by removing metadata, comments, and rounding numbers — without changing how it looks. 100% client-side.

About SVG Optimizer
SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) is the standard format for icons, logos, and illustrations on the web. SVGs are text-based (XML), which means they often contain comments, metadata, editor-specific attributes (from Figma, Illustrator, Sketch), unnecessary whitespace, and numbers with far more decimal places than needed. An optimized SVG can be 30–60% smaller without any visual difference. Smaller SVGs mean faster page loads, better Core Web Vitals, and less bandwidth. This tool optimizes SVG files in your browser using a safe, conservative approach — it never changes the visual output, only the file size. Live preview shows your SVG before and after optimization.
How It Works
- Paste your SVG code into the input box (or drop an .svg file).
- Adjust optimization options: precision, remove metadata, collapse whitespace.
- See the live preview and exact size savings.
- Copy the optimized SVG or download it as a .svg file.

- ✓Collapse whitespace and newlines
- ✓Round numbers to configurable precision (0–8 decimals)
- ✓Remove empty groups and unused namespaces
- ✓Live SVG preview before and after
- ✓Exact byte savings shown
- ✓Download optimized .svg
- ✓Handles any valid SVG syntax
- ✓100% client-side — no data sent to any server
🎯 Common Use Cases
- →Optimizing icon libraries for smaller bundle size
- →Compressing logos for website performance
- →Reducing SVG file size from Figma/Illustrator exports
- →Preparing SVGs for inline HTML embedding
- →Optimizing SVGs for email templates
- →Reducing data URI size for CSS background images
- →Preparing SVGs for app icons and favicons
- →Batch-preparing SVGs for a design system
💡 Advanced Tips & Pro Insights
- ▸Design tools (Figma, Illustrator, Sketch) add a lot of metadata that is not needed for rendering. Removing it can cut 30–50% of file size.
- ▸Path data with too many decimal places is common in exports. Rounding to 2 decimals usually has no visual effect and saves 10–25% additional size.
- ▸For maximum compression, use SVGO (the industry standard). This tool is browser-based and safe, but SVGO goes further (removing <defs>, merging paths, etc.).
- ▸Inline SVG in HTML adds to the HTML size — but eliminates a network request. For above-the-fold icons, inline is usually faster; for below-the-fold, use an <img src="icon.svg">.
- ▸Always preview your SVG before and after optimization to confirm the visual output is unchanged.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this SVG optimizer free?▾
Yes, this SVG optimizer is completely free with no signup, email, or usage limits.
Is my data safe?▾
Yes, 100% safe. All processing happens in your browser. Your SVG files are never uploaded to any server.
How much does SVG optimization reduce file size?▾
Typical reductions are 30–60% for Figma/Illustrator exports (which include lots of metadata). Already-optimized SVGs save less — maybe 5–15% by rounding numbers.
Does optimization change the visual appearance?▾
No. This tool uses a safe, conservative approach that only removes metadata, comments, whitespace, and excessive decimal places. The rendered SVG looks identical before and after.
What gets removed by default?▾
XML comments, <title> and <desc> elements, editor-specific namespaces (like inkscape:*, sodipodi:*), and Figma/Illustrator-specific attributes (data-*, id if unused). You can toggle each option.
What is the best precision setting?▾
For most SVGs, 2 decimals is a good balance. Icons often work fine with 1 decimal. Detailed illustrations may need 3. Higher precision means larger file size but more accurate curves.
Does it inline SVG?▾
This tool optimizes the SVG source. To inline it in HTML, just paste the optimized SVG code directly into your HTML (inside <body>). Inline SVGs can be styled with CSS and animated with JavaScript.
Should I use this or SVGO?▾
SVGO (Node.js) is more aggressive — it can merge paths, remove unused <defs>, and do many other optimizations. This tool is convenient for quick browser-based optimization and safer for edge cases. For production, SVGO is recommended.
