SVG Optimizer

This lesson is part of Web Developer Tools · All levels

Summary

SVG Optimizer reduces the size of the SVG file by removing metadata, comments, unused attributes, and rounding path coordinates. SVG is a text-based vector format, so many excess characters can be cut without changing the look. After optimization, always compare the visual results to make sure no elements are damaged.

Key points

SVG is XML text so it can be securely compressed
Delete comments, metadata from the editor, and unreferenced IDs
Rotate the path number to the precision that still looks good.
Keep the viewBox to the correct scale
Test results in the browser after optimization
