What Is SVG Optimization?
SVG files often contain metadata, comments, editor data, default values, and redundant attributes. This tool runs SVGO locally in your browser and keeps the optimized copy/download output unchanged. Side-by-side previews use separately sanitized markup that removes active scripts, external content, event handlers, unsafe URLs, and unsafe CSS.
How to Use This SVG Optimizer

- 2Click Optimize SVG to run SVGO optimization.
- 3Compare the original and optimized file sizes and visual previews side by side.

Frequently asked questions
Will optimization change how my SVG looks?
No. SVGO only removes data that does not affect the visual appearance of the SVG. The optimized output should look identical to the original.
How much can file size be reduced?
Typically 20-60% depending on the SVG complexity and how much editor metadata it contains. SVGs exported from design tools often have the largest reductions.
