Reduce file size

Remove unnecessary metadata, comments and redundant attributes without touching the visual output.

Clean markup

Normalize values, round floating-point numbers and collapse equivalent paths for readable, minimal SVG code.

Faster page loads

Smaller SVGs load faster. Critical for icons and illustrations used on high-traffic pages.

What does the optimizer remove?

  • ✓XML comments and unnecessary metadata
  • ✓Empty groups and redundant attributes
  • ✓Unused defs, namespaces and hidden elements
  • ✓Excessive decimal precision in path data
  • ✓Inline styles that duplicate default values

What is preserved?

  • ✓All shapes, paths and visual elements
  • ✓Colors, strokes and fills
  • ✓Transforms and clipping masks
  • ✓Gradients and filters
  • ✓IDs used by other elements

Why optimize an SVG file?

SVG files exported from design tools like Figma, Illustrator or Inkscape often contain a significant amount of unnecessary code: editor metadata, comments, empty groups, overly precise decimal values and duplicate definitions. This bloat has no visual impact but increases file size, which matters for web performance when SVGs are used as icons, illustrations or backgrounds.

This optimizer uses SVGO with multipass optimization to safely remove redundant markup while leaving all visual output identical. It is a safe, lossless operation, your shapes, colors, gradients and masks are untouched. After optimizing, you can further customize the file with the SVG Color Editor or the SVG Palette Swapper.

When should I optimize?

Any time you use an SVG in a web page, app or email, optimization is recommended. Even small savings (10–60%) add up when icons are loaded dozens of times per page. If your SVG was generated by the SVG converter, it is already reasonably clean, but running it through the optimizer can still trim extra bytes.
