My SVG file is huge and full of junk
Design-tool exports carry a lot of invisible bloat. Clean it out so your icons and illustrations load faster.
SVGs exported from design tools are full of editor metadata, comments and redundant precision. An SVG optimizer strips all that and simplifies the paths, often halving the file size with no visible change: vectors stay razor-sharp. Our SVG Optimizer and Compressor run in your browser, so your file is never uploaded. Optimize, then copy or download.
4 tools for this
Each one is free, private and runs in your browser. No sign-up, no watermark.
SVG Optimizer
Minify and clean SVG files in your browser with SVGO, strip editor metadata, round coordinates, drop hidden layers and see the exact bytes and percentage saved. Nothing is uploaded.
SVG Compressor
Compress SVG in your browser and see the real transfer size, optimized bytes plus estimated gzip and Brotli payloads, the numbers that actually cross the wire. Nothing is uploaded.
SVG Minifier
Aggressively minify SVG online: collapse whitespace, strip comments, metadata and editor namespaces, and squeeze markup to a single line with a live before/after size and % saved. 100% in your browser.
SVG to CSS
Convert SVG to a CSS background-image or mask rule in your browser: a compact URL-encoded data URI with a ready selector snippet, live preview and one-click copy. Nothing is uploaded.
How to fix it
Follow these steps and you'll have it sorted in a couple of minutes.
- 1
Open the SVG Optimizer
Paste your SVG markup or drop the file in, it's processed in your browser.
- 2
Strip the bloat
The optimizer removes editor metadata, comments and needless decimal precision from the paths.
- 3
Check it still looks right
Preview the result. Vectors should be identical while the byte count drops, often by half or more.
- 4
Copy or download
Grab the clean SVG. Use SVG to CSS if you want it as an inline background or data URI.
- Over-optimizing until IDs or classes your CSS/JS relies on get stripped. Check that animations and styling still work.
- Flattening precision so far that curves visibly deform. Keep enough decimals for smooth shapes.
- Optimizing one icon at a time when a whole set could be cleaned and combined into a sprite.
Frequently asked questions
More problems we solve
Ran into one of these too? Here's the fix.
- My image file is too largePhone photos are often 3–8MB. Compress (and if needed resize) to hit a 100KB or 50KB upload limit while still looking clean.
- My code or data is minified and unreadableOne long line of minified everything? Pick the matching formatter and get properly indented, readable code back.
- My site has no meta tags or preview when sharedA blank preview costs you clicks. Add the right tags so Google and social show a proper title, description and image.
