What Gets Removed?

Comments

HTML/XML comments <!-- ... --> serve no purpose in production SVGs and can contain sensitive information.

Metadata & Editor Namespaces

Tools like Illustrator, Inkscape, and Figma add metadata, namespaces, and custom attributes that browsers don't need to render the SVG.

Whitespace & Formatting

Extra line breaks, indentation, and spaces are for human readability only — minifying removes them to shrink file size.

Empty Groups

Empty <g></g> elements are left over from design tools after layers or groups are deleted and add no value.

Why Optimize SVGs?

Faster Page Load

Smaller SVG files load faster, reducing page weight and improving Core Web Vitals — especially for SVG icons and logos.

Remove Hidden Data

SVG files exported from Illustrator or Inkscape often contain metadata with file paths, usernames, or software info — optimization strips this out.

100% Private

Your SVG code is processed entirely in your browser using the DOM parser. Nothing is ever sent to any server.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this tool free?

Yes — 100% free with no sign-up and no limits.

Will optimizing break my SVG?

The default options are all safe and won't change how the SVG renders. The "Remove inline style" option can affect appearance if your SVG relies on style attributes — enable it only if you know it's safe for your file.

How much can optimization reduce file size?

Typical savings range from 10% to 60%+ depending on how the SVG was exported. SVGs from Illustrator or Inkscape tend to have the most hidden metadata to remove.

Is my SVG code safe?

Yes. Your SVG is processed in your browser's DOM parser — nothing is uploaded to any server, and the code never leaves your device.

Does it work on mobile?

Yes! Fully responsive and tested on all iOS and Android browsers.
