Runs in your browser. Your artwork is never uploaded.
How the SVG Optimizer Works
- Paste your SVG, straight from Illustrator, Figma, Sketch, or any export.
- It parses the XML, building a real SVG document in the browser.
- It cleans and rounds, removing metadata and trimming long decimals.
- Copy or download, grab the smaller file and see how much you saved.
Why Optimizing SVG Matters
- Faster pages, smaller SVGs reduce bytes on critical icons and logos.
- Cleaner code, inline SVG is easier to read and style without editor cruft.
- Responsive icons, removing fixed dimensions lets SVGs scale with CSS.
- Better Core Web Vitals, lighter assets help LCP and overall load time.

SVG Optimizer: FAQ
What does the SVG optimizer do?
It cleans and shrinks SVG code by removing editor metadata, comments, hidden layers, unused namespaces, and excess whitespace, and by rounding long decimal coordinates. The result is a smaller, cleaner SVG that renders the same but loads faster.
Why do SVG files from design tools get so large?
Tools like Illustrator, Figma, and Sketch export extra data: editor namespaces, comments, metadata, id and class attributes, and very long decimal numbers. None of this is needed to display the image, so stripping it can cut file size significantly.
Will optimizing change how my SVG looks?
The default cleanup is safe and keeps the visual result identical. Aggressive options such as removing width and height or stripping ids can affect styling or scripting, so the tool lets you toggle those and shows a live preview to confirm.
Does it round coordinates?
Yes. You can set decimal precision to trim numbers like 12.0000001 down to 12, which removes a surprising amount of bytes from path-heavy graphics with no visible difference.
Should I remove width and height?
Removing fixed width and height while keeping the viewBox makes an SVG fully responsive, which is ideal for icons and inline graphics. Keep them if the SVG must render at a fixed size without CSS.
Is my SVG uploaded anywhere?
No. Optimization runs entirely in your browser using the DOM. Your artwork never leaves your device, which matters for logos and unreleased designs.
How much smaller will my file be?
It depends on the source, but exports from design tools commonly shrink 20 to 60 percent. The tool shows before and after byte counts and the percentage saved.
Is this SVG optimizer free?
Yes. It is free, private, needs no signup, and works on any device.
