Optimize SVG markup
SVGO-style cleanup in your browser. Toggle 11 rules — comments, editor cruft, default attrs, decimal precision. Live preview, byte savings, copy or download.

How SVG optimization works
Eleven independent rules trim cruft from SVG markup. Toggle off any rule whose side effect you need to keep — like the title for screen readers.

Paste or upload
Drop in raw SVG markup or an entire file.
Files stay in memory as an
HTMLImageElement— the original bytes are never uploaded, and EXIF metadata is preserved until you explicitly transform it.inputuploadcanvaslocaldecodeinput · bytessvg · loaded<svg>...</svg>

Toggle rules
Each transform has its own checkbox.
Encoder quality is exposed where the format supports it — JPEG and WebP get a

Copy or download
Use the smaller markup wherever you like.
Downloads ship via a hidden anchor with an object URL — no server round-trip, and the file on disk is untouched. The output filename inherits a sensible suffix.

Browser-only image work that scales
Convert with quality control
JPEG/WebP let you pick a 0–1 quality. Default 0.92 is a good compromise of size and visible quality.
PNG isn’t free
Use PNG only for transparency or sharp edges. For photos, WebP is smaller at the same perceived quality.
Strip EXIF for privacy
Photo EXIF often contains GPS, camera model, and timestamps. Strip before sharing public uploads.
Watch the colour profile
Convert to sRGB before web export. Wide-gamut images render oversaturated in non-managed browsers.
AVIF when it’s available
AVIF beats WebP on size at the same quality. Detect support via <picture> with fallbacks.
Lazy-load below the fold
Add loading="lazy" on <img>. The browser handles scheduling — no IntersectionObserver needed.
When to optimize SVG
Design exports, icon libraries, performance work.
Inkscape exports
Strip sodipodi/inkscape namespaces and metadata. Decoded into a Canvas 2D context — original bytes never leave the tab, so you can process customer-uploaded photos, internal screenshots, or sensitive diagrams without privacy concerns.
px-perfectIcon system
Trim every glyph in a shared sprite. Encoders expose quality 0–1 where the format supports it (JPEG, WebP); PNG and AVIF stay perceptually lossless. Pick 0.85 for web, 0.95 for archival, 0.7 for thumbnails.
quality-tunableComponent libraries
Smaller payload per shipped icon component. Pair with the EXIF Stripper before sharing user-uploaded photos publicly. Camera serial numbers, GPS coordinates, and timestamps often hide in image metadata and leak more than the picture itself.
format-awareCMS-uploaded SVGs
Clean user-supplied assets before publishing. Output preserves colour profile (sRGB) so it renders consistently across browsers, monitors, and print pipelines. Wide-gamut workflows can opt into Display P3 for modern Apple devices.
EXIF-safePerformance audits
Shave kilobytes off the critical render path. Re-runs only on option changes, never on window resize, so the canvas stays responsive on large images. drawImage uses the browser's bilinear filter for fast resampling.
client-sidePrint-to-web
Reduce Illustrator/Affinity export bloat. Downloads as .png, .jpg, .webp, or .avif with the correct MIME so editors apply native handling on save. The filename inherits a sensible suffix derived from the input.
