SVG Optimizer

Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) represents a vector-based image format. Here, the image file comprises an XML file containing the image's rendering details online.

The image file comprises elements and attributes for shapes like rectangles, circles, ellipses, lines, polygons, curves, and more. SVG also supports rendering functions, like filter and blur effects, gradients, rotations, animations, JavaScript integration, and more.

Tools like Inkscape or Illustrator embed metadata information that can be removed using our SVG Optimizer tool. This helps reduce the overall size of your files and, hence, the overall size of your web page.

Our SVG compressor tool works on both desktop and mobile devices without any hassles. Follow these steps to get a compressed SVG image file -

1. Open the SVG optimizer tool in your device’s browser.
2. Upload the image file in one of the following ways -
• If you have the image in XML format (.xml extension), upload it directly.
• If you have the URL to the SVG image XML file, paste the target URL in the text box.
• You can also paste the XML contents directly in the input text box.
3. Click on Optimize now.
4. Download the optimized file and use it for further purposes.

An SVG file is an image file in XML format containing several lines of markup text. Each tag element can have several attributes, some of which can be redundant or useless.

When you export an image from an online source, there are no guarantees that it is size-optimized. Some tools that generate SVG files embed additional unnecessary metadata. So, you can use online tools to compress SVG files for optimal results.

The larger the image size, the slower it takes to render the image on your website. This delay can be due to the presence of unwanted data in your image files, like -

• Default values
• Comments
• Empty or hidden attributes

The mere presence of such elements increases the size of your overall image file. It also requires the rendered to spend time scanning such unwanted lines, thereby delaying the image's load time.

Reducing image sizes with a lossless compressor is, therefore, a mandate to ensure your website loads fast and is user-friendly.

You can be assured that our SVG optimizer performs lossless compression. The resulting quality does not compromise the original image, except for reducing the image size.

You can compare the quality of our tool’s output by seeing the following images.

Original File: 42kb

Optimized File: 25kb

1. There is no need to download any software suite or enter commands to compress SVG file size online.
2. The SVG file size reducer does a lossless compression, preserving the original quality.
3. Completely free to use on both desktop and mobile devices.
4. Your data privacy is maintained without compromise.
5. It can be used by anyone, even without prior knowledge of SVG XML elements.
