What is SVG Optimization?
SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) is an XML-based vector image format defined by the W3C SVG specification. Unlike raster images (PNG, JPG), SVG describes shapes as math: paths, circles, polygons. This makes SVG infinitely scalable and tiny for icons. But SVG files exported from design tools come with massive overhead — editor metadata, comments, imprecise coordinates — that browsers don't need to render. Optimization strips this dead weight.
Why SVG matters for performance
An icon set with 50 icons can easily be 200 KB unoptimized. After SVG optimization plus gzip, the same icons fit in 25 KB. Inlining critical icons (sprites or React components) avoids extra HTTP requests entirely. Smaller SVG = faster First Paint + better LCP scores + reduced CDN costs.
What gets removed
This tool removes XML declarations, HTML/XML comments, <title>, <desc>, and <metadata> elements, editor-specific attributes (Inkscape's inkscape:*, Sodipodi's sodipodi:*), empty attribute values, and reduces decimal precision to 2 places. Typical savings: 20–60% before gzip; after gzip, 70–85% total reduction from original.
