Optimize and clean up your SVG files
A powerful tool for reducing SVG file sizes by up to 80% while maintaining visual quality. Perfect for web developers and designers who need lightweight, optimized graphics.
The SVG Optimizer tool helps you reduce file size by removing unnecessary metadata, comments, and optimizing SVG code structure. Unlike raster images, SVG files can be optimized significantly without any loss of visual quality.
Tip: Start with default settings for maximum optimization. You can fine-tune options if you need to preserve specific SVG features.
The tool supports multiple methods for uploading your SVG files, making it easy to get started regardless of your preference.
Simply drag your SVG file(s) from your computer and drop them onto the upload area. The dashed border will highlight when you're dragging valid files.
Click anywhere on the upload area to open your file browser and select SVG file(s) manually.
You can upload multiple SVG files at once. Each file will appear in the file sidebar with its optimization status.
Note: Only SVG files are accepted. Each file is processed individually, allowing you to optimize multiple files at once.
Fine-tune your optimization with comprehensive settings. Each option controls a specific aspect of SVG optimization.
Strips XML comments from the SVG output for cleaner code.
Removes XML metadata tags containing editor information.
Removes <title> and <desc> elements. Keep enabled for icons, disable for accessible graphics.
Removes elements that are not visible (zero size, display:none).
Removes empty <g>, <defs>, and other container elements.
Removes attributes with empty or default values.
Shortens path coordinates and converts to relative values.
Simplifies transform attributes and applies them to path data.
Shortens color values (#ffffff → #fff, rgb() → hex).
Combines multiple paths with the same fill/stroke into one.
Converts <rect>, <circle>, <ellipse> to <path>.
Shortens CSS within SVG style attributes.
Shortens ID references and removes unused IDs.
Removes unnecessary enable-background attributes.
Removes Inkscape, Sketch, and other editor-specific namespaces.
Removes <defs> elements that are not referenced.
Moves group attributes to individual elements when needed.
Removes stroke and fill attributes that have no effect.
Removes viewBox attribute. Use only if width/height are set.
Removes width and height attributes for responsive SVGs.
Sorts attributes alphabetically for consistency.
Converts CSS style attributes to SVG presentation attributes.
Default Settings: The tool comes with sensible defaults that provide maximum optimization while maintaining compatibility. Use the "Reset" button to restore defaults at any time.
After optimization, you can preview and compare your SVG with the original using the interactive preview panel.
View original and optimized SVGs side by side for easy comparison.
View the original SVG in isolation to examine details.
Focus on the optimized result to verify output quality.
Shows the original file size in bytes, KB, or MB.
Shows the size after optimization.
Displays the percentage reduction achieved (up to 80%+).
Once your SVG is optimized, you can export it in multiple ways.
Download the optimized SVG file to your computer. The filename will be based on the original file name with an "-optimized" suffix.
Copy the optimized SVG code directly to your clipboard. Shows a "Copied!" confirmation when successful.
A live preview of the SVG code is displayed below the visual preview. You can see the optimized structure and verify the output before downloading or copying.
The SVG Optimizer supports batch processing, allowing you to optimize multiple files at once.
Upload as many SVG files as you need in a single operation. All files will appear in the sidebar.
Process all uploaded files at once with a single click. Each file is optimized sequentially.
Click on any file in the sidebar to view and manage it. Remove files with the X button.
Optimize individual files separately using the Optimize button in the preview panel.
Pro Tip: Use consistent optimization settings for all files in a batch to ensure uniform output quality and file size.
Optimize SVG icons and graphics for faster page load times. Smaller files mean quicker rendering and better Core Web Vitals scores.
Clean up and optimize icon sets for web and mobile applications. Remove editor metadata and unnecessary attributes.
Create lightweight SVGs for email campaigns where file size matters. Most email clients support optimized SVGs.
Prepare SVG assets for design systems with consistent optimization. Remove editor-specific data for clean codebases.
Optimize charts and graphs created in design tools. Reduce file size for faster loading dashboards and reports.
Optimize individual icons before combining them into SVG sprites. Clean IDs to avoid conflicts in sprite systems.
Accessibility Note: If you remove title and description elements, consider adding aria-labels to your SVG markup for screen readers. The optimization preserves structural integrity for accessibility.
Typical Results: Most SVGs can be reduced by 30-80% depending on the original source. Icons from design tools often see the highest reduction rates.
