Optimize SVG files and remove editor clutter

Open an SVG exported from Illustrator, Figma, Sketch or Inkscape. Editor metadata and unused definitions are removed and the code is minified. Nothing is uploaded.

One clear job, from bloated to clean

  1. 1

    Drop your SVG files

    Drag one or more SVG files — up to 50 in batch mode. The parser detects the source editor and shows a breakdown of metadata, unused definitions, empty groups, and other removable content.

  2. 2

    Choose optimization level

    Use the default balanced mode for safe optimization, or switch to aggressive mode for maximum compression. Safe mode preserves all IDs, classes, and style elements. A toggle lets you keep or strip embedded fonts.

  3. 3

    Compare and download

    The before/after visual preview confirms the optimized SVG renders identically to the original. Download individual files or the full batch as a ZIP, with a summary of savings per file.

Cleaning SVG exports before they ship

What you bring

You bring SVG files exported from Illustrator, Figma, Sketch, Inkscape or Affinity. Batch mode takes up to 50 files at once. The files are read in your browser and nothing is uploaded. Design tools write editor metadata, comments, empty groups and unused definitions into the file so they can open it again later. On a web page, in an email or as an app icon, that data adds weight and changes nothing you can see.

What you get back

You get cleaned, minified SVGs. Editor metadata, empty groups and unused definitions are removed, and path data is rewritten in a shorter form that draws the same shape. A before and after preview lets you check that each file still looks like the original. You can download single files or the whole batch as a ZIP, with a summary of the savings per file. Open a few results where they will be used before you replace the originals.

Safe mode, aggressive mode and fonts

Balanced mode is the default. Safe mode keeps all IDs, classes and style elements, which matters when a stylesheet or script points at a part of the SVG by name. Aggressive mode gives smaller files but can remove IDs or clip paths that outside code still uses. Only pick it when you know nothing references them. A separate toggle keeps or strips embedded fonts.

Questions before you run it

Will optimization change how my SVG looks?

No. The optimizer removes invisible data — editor metadata, comments, empty groups, unused definitions — and simplifies paths mathematically without changing their rendered appearance. A before/after preview lets you confirm the output matches the original visually.

Which design tool exports does the cleaner handle?

SVGs exported from Adobe Illustrator, Figma, Sketch, Inkscape, and Affinity Designer. Each tool adds its own metadata, namespaces, and redundant attributes. The cleaner recognizes and removes tool-specific bloat from all of them.

Can optimization break CSS animations or JavaScript in my SVG?

Aggressive optimization can remove IDs or class names that CSS or JS references. The optimizer has a safe mode that preserves all IDs, classes, and style elements. You can also exclude specific elements from optimization by marking them.

How much smaller will my SVGs get?

Typical design-tool exports shrink by 40 to 80 percent. Illustrator files with embedded fonts and metadata see the largest reductions. Simple hand-coded SVGs may only shrink by 10 to 20 percent since there is less to remove.

Can I optimize multiple SVGs at once?

Yes. Batch mode accepts up to 50 SVG files. Each file is optimized independently with the same settings, and you download the results as a ZIP archive.
