Frequently asked questions
What does this optimizer actually remove?+
It strips XML comments, editor-specific metadata (like Inkscape or Sodipodi namespaces left behind by design tools), the XML declaration/DOCTYPE, and unnecessary whitespace between tags.
Will optimizing change how my SVG looks?+
No, all the changes are non-visual — they remove data that renderers ignore anyway, such as comments and editor metadata, so the visual output is identical.
Is this as thorough as a build-tool SVG optimizer like SVGO?+
This browser tool covers the most common wins (comments, metadata, whitespace) for quick one-off cleanup. For advanced optimizations like path simplification or precision rounding, a build-time tool like SVGO offers more aggressive options.
Why does my SVG have Inkscape or Adobe Illustrator metadata?+
Design tools embed extra information (layers, editing history, tool version) directly into exported SVG files, which is harmless but adds unnecessary bytes for web use.
Is my SVG uploaded anywhere?+
No, all processing happens locally in your browser using string operations — your SVG markup is never sent to a server.
Can I preview the optimized result before copying it?+
Yes, a live preview of the optimized SVG renders below the output panel so you can confirm it still looks correct before copying.
