SVG Optimizer
Clean and shrink SVG files without losing quality.
Runs entirely in your browser — your input never leaves your deviceAbout this tool
Exported SVGs from design tools are full of cruft — XML prologs, editor metadata, Inkscape/Sodipodi attributes, comments and excess whitespace. This optimizer strips all of that, shows a live preview of the cleaned graphic, and reports the size saving.
The result is a smaller, cleaner SVG ready to drop into your site or component. Everything runs in your browser.
Why use it
Removes cruft
Strips editor metadata, comments and the XML prolog.

Frequently asked questions
What does it remove?
The XML prolog and doctype, comments, <metadata>/<title>/<desc>, editor-specific namespaces and attributes (Inkscape, Sodipodi, RDF), and redundant whitespace.
Will it change how my icon looks?
No. It removes non-rendered cruft, not the actual shapes. The live preview lets you confirm the result is identical.
Is my SVG uploaded?
No. Optimization runs entirely in your browser.
Is this the same as SVGO?
It is a lightweight cleaner focused on the highest-impact, safe removals. For aggressive path-level optimization, a full SVGO pipeline goes further.
