About SVG Optimization
SVG files from design tools often contain unnecessary data: editor metadata, comments, hidden elements, and verbose formatting. This optimizer removes these elements while preserving the visual appearance.
Optimized SVGs load faster on websites, reducing bandwidth and improving user experience. For sites using many icons or illustrations, the cumulative size reduction can significantly improve page load times.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does SVG optimization do?
SVG optimization removes unnecessary data from SVG files - metadata, comments, editor artifacts, redundant attributes, and whitespace. This reduces file size without affecting how the image looks.
How much smaller will my SVG be?
Reduction varies based on the source. SVGs exported from design tools like Illustrator or Figma often have 30-70% size reduction. Hand-coded or already optimized SVGs may see smaller improvements.
Will optimization change how my SVG looks?
No, proper optimization only removes invisible data like metadata and whitespace. The visual appearance remains identical. Always preview the optimized SVG to verify.
Is my SVG uploaded to a server?
No, all optimization happens entirely in your browser using JavaScript. Your SVG files never leave your device, ensuring complete privacy for proprietary graphics.
Should I optimize SVGs for the web?
Yes, optimized SVGs load faster and improve website performance. Smaller files mean less bandwidth usage and quicker rendering, especially important for icons and illustrations used throughout a site.
What metadata is removed during optimization?
The optimizer removes: XML declarations, DOCTYPE, editor metadata (from Illustrator, Sketch, Figma), comments, hidden elements, unused definitions, and redundant attributes that don't affect display.
