SVG Optimizer

SVG files exported from design tools like Figma, Illustrator, or Inkscape often contain hidden bloat — unused definitions, empty groups, redundant namespaces, and verbose metadata that browsers never render. Pixaturn's SVG Optimizer applies a comprehensive set of safe optimisation rules to shrink your file without touching a single visible path.

What is SVG Optimisation?

SVG files exported from design tools like Figma, Illustrator, or Inkscape often contain hidden bloat — unused definitions, empty groups, redundant namespaces, and verbose metadata that browsers never render. Pixaturn's SVG Optimizer applies a comprehensive set of safe optimisation rules to shrink your file without touching a single visible path.

SVGO (SVG Optimizer) is the industry-standard Node.js library that powers the world's most popular SVG optimisers. Our tool runs SVGO's full rule set in a single click, making professional SVG optimisation accessible to anyone without a command line.

Why Optimise Your SVG Files?

  • Reduces SVG file size by 30–80%
  • Zero visible quality change
  • Removes unused defs, comments and metadata
  • Compresses path data coordinates
  • Safe, non-destructive optimisation rules
  • Works on any valid SVG file

How SVG Optimisation Works

  1. Upload Your SVG

    Drag your SVG file into the upload area or click to browse. Any valid SVG — from a simple icon to a complex illustration — is accepted.

  2. Review Optimisation Profile

    Choose your optimisation aggressiveness: Safe (removes comments and whitespace only), Standard (removes unused elements and redundant attributes), or Aggressive (applies all SVGO rules including path rounding).

  3. Optimise

    Click Optimise. The engine parses your SVG's XML tree, applies the selected rules in sequence, and rebuilds the file with the smallest possible byte footprint.

  4. Download Optimised SVG

    Compare before/after file sizes and download your optimised SVG. Embed it in HTML, use it in your design system, or serve it from your CDN at a fraction of the original size.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does SVG optimisation do?

Optimisation removes invisible metadata, editor-specific namespaces, empty groups, unused definitions, and redundant attributes — shrinking the file size by 30–80% without any change to the rendered image.

What is SVGO?

SVGO (SVG Optimizer) is the industry-standard open-source library for SVG optimisation. It applies over 30 configurable rules to clean and compress SVG markup, and is used by tools like webpack, Vite, and Figma's export pipeline.

Will the optimised SVG look different?

No. All optimisation rules are designed to be visually non-destructive. The rendered SVG is pixel-identical to the original.

How much can optimisation reduce file size?

Typical reductions range from 30% to 80%. SVGs exported from Illustrator often shrink by over 60% because they include substantial editor metadata. Simple icons may only shrink 15–20%.

Can I optimise animated SVGs?

Yes, with caveats. SMIL animations and CSS animations embedded in SVG are preserved by default. Aggressive mode may remove animation-related attributes — use Standard mode for animated files.
