How SVG Minification Works

SVG files exported from design tools (Illustrator, Figma, Inkscape) contain many redundant elements: editor-specific metadata, XML comments, unused namespace declarations, and inflated decimal precision. This tool strips all of that without touching the actual paths, shapes, or visual content.

Remove comments — XML comments () add no visual value and can expose design notes.
Remove <metadata> — Editor metadata blocks can be kilobytes of wasted space.
Strip editor attributes — Removes inkscape:, sodipodi:, sketch:, and data-name attributes added by editors.
Collapse whitespace — Removes unnecessary newlines, tabs, and extra spaces.
Round decimals — Rounds floating-point coordinates to 2 decimal places (optional — only enable if visual accuracy allows).

Tips for Smaller SVGs

Export at a reasonable precision — most SVGs don't need more than 2–3 decimal places.
Combine overlapping paths in your design tool before exporting.
Use <use> to reuse repeated shapes instead of duplicating path data.
Serve SVGs gzip-compressed from your server for an additional 60–80% size reduction.
