SVG optimizer.

Design tools stuff SVGs with metadata, editor namespaces and twelve-decimal coordinates your website never needed. Strip it all here — with a side-by-side preview proving the pixels didn\u2019t move — and ship files that are often half the size.

How it works

1

Drop or paste

Load an .svg file or paste raw code — logos exported from Illustrator, Figma or Inkscape are the usual suspects.

2

Watch it shrink

Optimizations run instantly and the before/after preview updates live, with exact byte savings shown.

3

Download or copy

Grab the optimized file, or copy the code straight into your project.

Why use this tool

Editor junk removal — Inkscape and Illustrator embed their entire workspace state — sodipodi views, custom namespaces, data-names — none of which browsers read.
Precision rounding — 12-decimal coordinates are sub-atomic on screen; rounding to 2 decimals is visually identical and dramatically smaller.
Safe by construction — only reversible, render-neutral operations — no path rewriting, no shape merging, no surprises. The preview is the proof.
Empty group unwrapping — layers of attribute-less <g> wrappers from grouped exports collapse away.
Live byte counter — see exactly what each toggle saves.

An SVG straight out of a design tool is a diary, not a graphic: it remembers the editor version, the canvas position, every guide you set, and paths measured to the trillionth of a pixel. Browsers ignore all of it — but your visitors still download it, and animation libraries still parse it. This optimizer performs the boring, safe cleanups that professionals run on every asset: strip the metadata, round the math, unwrap the packaging, minify the whitespace. Typical logos shrink 30–70% with output that is byte-for-byte different and pixel-for-pixel the same.

Lean SVGs matter double if you plan to animate: fewer nodes parse faster and manipulate smoother. Run your logo through here, then open it in our free SVG animation studio for path-by-path motion — the combination is exactly how we prep files for client work. Starting from a PNG instead? The PNG to SVG converter comes first, then this. And for logos that deserve more than DIY, our motion designers take it from here.

Frequently asked questions

Will optimization change how my SVG looks?

No — that is the design constraint of this tool. It only performs render-neutral operations, and the side-by-side preview renders both files so you can verify with your own eyes.

Is this the same as SVGO?

It covers the safest, highest-value subset of what SVGO does — the cleanups responsible for most of the savings — with completely predictable behavior and no configuration rabbit hole.

What precision should I use?

2 decimals is the sweet spot for logos and icons. Use 3 for very intricate artwork with fine curves; 0–1 only for chunky geometric shapes.

Why is my file barely smaller?

It was probably already optimized, or exported from a tool that cleans up after itself (Figma is fairly tidy). Files from Illustrator and Inkscape shrink the most.

Does my file get uploaded?

No — parsing, cleaning and serializing all happen in your browser with the DOM APIs.
