What SVG Optimizer does

SVG Optimizer & Viewer is a free online tool that reduces the file size of Scalable Vector Graphics by stripping away unnecessary data. Users paste SVG code or upload an SVG file, and the tool removes metadata, editor comments, and unused attributes to create a leaner version. The output includes a before/after size comparison with a percentage reduction and a live preview of the graphic, allowing users to verify quality retention before downloading. Everything processes within the browser, ensuring that SVG files never leave the user's device. The service explains that vector assets exported from design applications like Illustrator, Inkscape, Figma, and Sketch frequently carry embedded metadata and editor-specific code that inflates file size without contributing to the visual result.

Questions

SVG Optimizer FAQ

Will optimizing an SVG change how it looks on my website?
No, the tool removes only metadata, comments, and unused attributes that do not affect rendering, so the visual output remains identical.
Can I optimize an SVG that has a file size larger than 5 MB?
The web interface limits uploaded SVG files to a maximum of 5 MB; larger files can be pasted as code instead.
Does the tool keep the viewBox attribute when removing width and height?
Yes, the optimization option 'Remove width/height (keep viewBox)' strips dimension attributes while preserving the viewBox for responsive scaling.
Is my SVG code private if I use this online tool?
Yes, the service processes all SVGs entirely in your browser; files are not uploaded to a server or stored anywhere.
