What is SVG Optimization?
When you export Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) from design tools like Figma or Illustrator, the code often contains unnecessary cruft. Things like editor metadata, empty `<g>` tags, and hidden comments do not affect how the image looks but bloat the file size. This optimizer safely strips away everything except the core drawing instructions (paths), significantly reducing loading times.
How to Use
Simply paste your raw `<svg>...</svg>` code into the textbox. The tool instantly parses the XML structure, removes the bloat, and previews the optimized graphic. You will see a side-by-side comparison of the file sizes and the real-time savings percentage. Just hit 'Copy' and drop it into your codebase.
Post-Optimization Checklist
Sometimes highly complex SVGs with rare filter effects or masked gradients might break if aggressively minified. It's best practice to always review the visual preview after optimization to ensure everything renders perfectly before deploying to production.
