SVG Optimizer

SVG is a vector image format used for icons, logos, and illustrations on websites, built from XML markup rather than pixels. Design tools like Figma, Illustrator, and Inkscape often export SVG files full of editor metadata, redundant groups, and unused attributes that add weight without changing how the image looks. An optimizer strips that clutter using SVGO, a widely used optimization engine, so the file downloads and renders faster.

Web developers and designers exporting icons or logos from design software, anyone building an icon set for a website, and developers who inherited a project full of bloated SVG files and want to trim them before shipping to production.

SVGO removes metadata and redundant paths while keeping the viewBox, so scaling still works correctly. Complex filters, gradients, or rare SVG features are worth a quick visual check after optimizing, just to confirm nothing important was stripped.

Yes, if the file has grown bloated from repeated exports. Skip it if you still rely on editor-specific layers or IDs you actively edit in the source design app, since optimization can remove those.

No. Optimization runs locally in your browser using SVGO. Your markup is never sent to our servers.

Yes. Paste SVG code directly into the text box and click Optimize, or drop an .svg file to load and optimize it in one step.

It depends on how the SVG was exported. Files from Illustrator or Figma with lots of editor metadata often shrink significantly, while already-clean, hand-written SVG may only see a small reduction.
