Frequently Asked Questions
What does the SVG Optimizer remove?
The optimizer can remove comments, metadata (title, desc, metadata tags), editor-specific data (Inkscape, Sodipodi namespaces), and inline styles. You can toggle each option independently.
What is the 'Preserve important attrs' option?
When enabled, this option preserves important SVG attributes like id, class, data-, aria-, role, viewBox, and essential geometric attributes, while still removing other unnecessary attributes.
How is the file size savings calculated?
After optimization, the tool compares the byte size of the original and optimized SVG and displays the percentage saved as a badge, so you can see exactly how much smaller your file became.
Is my data safe when using this tool?
Absolutely. All SVG processing happens locally in your browser. No data is uploaded to any server, ensuring your files remain completely private and secure.
Can I use this tool on my phone?
Yes, the SVG Optimizer is fully responsive and works on all devices including smartphones, tablets, and desktop computers.
