SVG Optimizer

Open-source utility • Maintained August 2026

Speed up your website by cleaning up bloated SVG code. Our optimizer strips away hidden metadata from design software (like Inkscape or Illustrator), removes unnecessary comments, and minifies coordinate precision without losing visual quality.

Pro Tip: Decimal Precision

Lowering decimal precision (e.g. to 1) drastically reduces file size for smaller icons but might cause slight visual shifts in complex illustrations. Use **2 or 3** for high-fidelity vectors.

How to use this tool

  1. Paste your raw SVG code into the left editor panel.
  2. The tool will automatically optimize the code and display the results on the right.
  3. Adjust the 'Precision' level (1-3) to find the perfect balance between file size and detail.
  4. Check the stats bar at the top to see exactly how many kilobytes you've saved.
  5. Click 'Save' to download your minified .svg file.

When to use this tool

  • Performance Tuning: Reduce the size of icons and logos to improve LCP (Largest Contentful Paint) metrics.
  • Asset Cleanup: Remove proprietary metadata (sodipodi, inkscape) that adds weight but no value to images.
  • Animation Prep: Sanitize SVG code to make it easier to animate via CSS or GSAP.
  • Email Marketing: Optimize SVGs for embedding in HTML emails where file size limits are critical.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does this tool reduce SVG size?

It removes non-standard attributes, metadata, XML declarations, and comments. It also rounds coordinate values in path data to a specified decimal precision, which often accounts for the majority of the byte savings.

Will it break my SVG?

Our 'Safe Mode' logic only removes data that isn't required for rendering. However, setting precision to '1' might cause slight shifts in very complex illustrations. We recommend '2' for most web icons.

Wait, isn't SVGO the standard?

Yes! This tool uses a professional-grade cleanup engine inspired by SVGO, optimized to run securely and instantly in your browser without ever uploading your files.

Built by Developers, For Developers

DevToolsLabs is maintained as an open-source collection of focused developer utilities. Most transformations run locally in your browser; tools that require a network service disclose the destination beside the tool. Each utility is built around a concrete development workflow and can be reviewed in the public source repository.
