What is the SVG Optimizer & Minifier?
SVG files exported from design tools like Illustrator or Figma often carry a lot of dead weight: editor metadata, XML comments, unnecessary namespace declarations, and coordinates with far more decimal places than any screen can render. This tool strips that clutter client-side — removing comments and metadata, collapsing whitespace, trimming excess numeric precision and removing empty groups — while leaving the visible artwork untouched.
A before/after size comparison and percentage saved is shown immediately, along with a live preview of the optimized SVG so you can confirm nothing visually changed. Because SVG is just XML text, this all happens by parsing and rewriting the markup in your browser, with no image re-rendering and no upload.

Questions people ask
Will this change how my SVG looks?
No meaningful visual change for normal precision settings; always check the live preview to confirm, especially for very fine detail.
Is this the same as tools like SVGO?
It performs similar cleanup — removing comments, metadata and excess precision — using the same general approach, entirely in your browser.
Can it handle SVGs with embedded images or fonts?
Yes, embedded base64 data is preserved as-is since compressing it further would need re-encoding the underlying image.
Is my SVG uploaded to a server?
No, all parsing and optimisation happens client-side in JavaScript.
Can I optimize multiple SVGs at once?
This tool handles one at a time for a clear before/after comparison; paste each one in turn.
