SVG Optimizer
Strip SVG cruft without touching path data
What is SVG Optimizer?
This SVG optimizer removes editor-generated metadata, comments, the XML declaration, and title/desc elements, and collapses redundant whitespace — but it deliberately leaves path data untouched so rendering cannot change. It also reports how much smaller the result is. Processing happens locally in your browser.
How to use SVG Optimizer
- 1Paste the SVG exported from your design tool.
- 2Review the optimized output and the size reduction.
- 3Confirm it renders identically, then replace the original file.
Frequently asked questions
Why does this tool not optimize path data?+
Trimming the precision of path coordinates genuinely changes the shape, and at small sizes or with thin strokes the difference can be visible, so every result needs to be checked by eye. This tool sticks to zero-risk cleanup. If you want aggressive optimization, run SVGO in your build step and back it with visual regression tests.
Why were the title and desc elements removed?+
Design tools usually fill those elements with meaningless layer names. One caveat: when an SVG is used as a standalone, meaningful graphic, title carries its accessible name. In that case, write a meaningful title back in by hand or add an aria-label.
