SVG Compressor

Strip bloat from design-tool exports. Removes metadata, editor data, unused IDs, redundant transforms, and more — all without touching a single pixel.

100% Private Browser-only 14 optimizations

What gets optimized

SVGs from Illustrator, Inkscape, and Figma are padded with editor metadata, comments, and legacy cruft that adds bytes without affecting rendering. This tool strips all of it.

XML declarations, DOCTYPE, & comments
Editor metadata, title & desc elements
Inkscape, Figma, & Illustrator namespaces
Color values shortened (#ffcc00 → #fc0)
Floating-point precision reduced safely
Path data & polygon points minified
Identity transforms removed (translate(0,0))
SVG default attribute values stripped
<style> blocks and inline styles minified
Unused id="" attributes removed
data-* editor attributes eliminated
Empty <g>, <defs>, <mask> elements pruned

Frequently Asked Questions

Will compression affect the visual quality?

No — SVG is a vector format. Every optimization we apply targets non-visual data: whitespace, comments, editor metadata, redundant attributes, and equivalent shorter representations. The rendered image is pixel-identical.

How does this compare to SVGO?

We implement the same safe optimizations SVGO does for browser-side usage: namespace cleanup, color shortening, default removal, path minification, transform simplification, unused ID removal, and more. No server upload needed.

Are my files uploaded anywhere?

Never. Every optimization runs directly in your browser using JavaScript. Your SVG data never leaves your device — no server, no logging, no tracking.

Can I paste SVG code directly instead of uploading?

Yes — switch to the "Paste Code" tab and paste your markup. The output updates instantly as you type, so you can tweak the input and see the compressed result in real time.

Why are some files compressed less than others?

Files hand-coded or already optimized contain less editor noise. Compression is highest on exports from Illustrator or Inkscape, which embed extensive editor-specific metadata.
