About SVG Optimizer

SVG Optimizer runs your vector files through SVGO to strip comments, editor metadata, and excess decimal precision, leaving a smaller, cleaner SVG that renders identically. It's what you run on icons exported from Figma or Illustrator before shipping them to production. It works entirely in your browser, so your assets are never uploaded.

Privacy: SVG Optimizer runs entirely on your device. Files you provide never leave your browser — no uploads, no server, no tracking. The page works offline once loaded.

Common uses

  • Shrink an icon exported from Figma by removing the editor metadata it bakes in
  • Round excessive decimal coordinates on a path so the file is smaller without visible change
  • Strip XML comments and unused defs from an Illustrator SVG before committing it to a repo
  • Reduce the size of an inline SVG you're about to paste directly into your HTML
  • Clean up a downloaded logo SVG so it diffs cleanly against future versions
  • Cut payload on a set of UI icons bundled into your web app to speed up first paint

Frequently asked questions

What gets removed?

SVGO removes comments and editor-specific metadata and rounds decimal precision on coordinates. The visual result is intended to look identical to the original.

What input does it take, and what comes out?

It accepts an SVG (image/svg+xml) and outputs an optimized SVG of the same type, ready to drop back in wherever the original lived.

Is my SVG uploaded?

No. Optimization happens locally in your browser, so the artwork and any text or IDs inside it stay on your device.

Could optimization break my SVG?

SVGO's defaults are conservative and preserve rendering for typical assets. Very precision-sensitive artwork or scripts that rely on specific element IDs are the rare cases to spot-check after optimizing.

Does it rasterize the image?

No. The output stays a vector SVG. To turn an SVG into a PNG bitmap, use SVG to PNG instead.
