What is SVG Optimizer?

SVG Optimizer removes Inkscape/Illustrator editor metadata, comments, hidden elements, empty groups, and unnecessary attributes from SVG files, reducing file size by 20–70% without changing the visual appearance. A side-by-side preview confirms the output looks identical.

Click "Upload SVG" to select a file, or paste raw SVG markup into the input area.

Configure optimisations

Toggle individual options: remove comments, metadata, editor namespaces (Inkscape/Illustrator), empty groups, hidden elements, and numeric value cleanup.

Compare before and after

The side-by-side preview renders both the original and optimised SVG so you can confirm they look identical.

Editor metadata (Inkscape, Illustrator, Sketch), comments, hidden elements, unnecessary attributes, inline styles that can be moved to attributes, and redundant group elements.

Will optimizing change how my SVG looks?+

What size reductions can I expect?+

Typically 20–70% reduction depending on how the SVG was created and whether it contains editor metadata.
