Why optimize SVGs?
Unoptimized SVGs contain comments, redundant attributes, and messy whitespace. Clean SVGs load faster and are easier to maintain.
Quick wins
- Remove comments and XML declarations
- Strip inline styles when attributes work
- Remove unused defs, gradients, and IDs
- Round long decimal numbers
Use the optimizer
Paste your SVG into the SVG optimizer and get a cleaned, minified version instantly.
When optimization matters most
- Inline SVGs in HTML (they block rendering)
- Icons loaded many times per page
- SVGs inside CSS data URIs
