SVG Optimizer
Clean and minify your SVG code using SVGO — strip bloat, keep quality.

What is the SVG Optimizer?
The SVG Optimizer utilizes SVGO directly on your machine to strip bloated metadata, editor tags, and hidden elements from vector graphics.
Raw SVGs exported from Illustrator or Figma often contain kilobytes of useless XML data. Stripping this data accelerates rendering time, improves overall DOM performance, and boosts Core Web Vitals.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is an SVG?
Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) is an XML-based format for 2D images. Rather than mapping pixels like PNGs, it relies on mathematical paths, allowing infinite scaling.
Why should I optimize SVGs?
Design software injects excessive code (like exact editor coordinates or hidden layers). SVGO strips these cleanly, typically reducing file size by 40-70% with zero visual quality loss.
Is visual quality affected?
No, standard optimization safely removes invisible metadata. However, aggressive coordinate rounding or decimal stripping can slightly distort paths on precise icons.
Does smaller SVG code help SEO?
Yes. When inline SVGs are heavy, they severely bloat your HTML document size, dragging down TTFB (Time to First Byte) metrics. Optimized SVGs guarantee lightning-fast parsing.
How is data processed offline?
Normally SVGO runs on the server (Node.js), but this application compiles the optimization logic to run locally via an offline-capable background API route in Next.js.
