Frequently Asked Questions
What does SVG optimization remove?
By default, SVGO removes editor metadata, comments, hidden elements, default attribute values, and redundant whitespace. Each optimization is individually toggleable.
Will optimization break my SVG?
Most optimizations are safe for display use. However, removing IDs or class names can break SVGs that are targeted by external CSS or JavaScript. Preview the result before using it.
How much file size reduction can I expect?
Savings vary widely. Simple icons may shrink 20–40%. Complex hand-edited SVGs exported from Illustrator or Inkscape can shrink 60–80% after stripping editor metadata.
Is my SVG uploaded to a server?
No. Optimization runs entirely in your browser using the SVGO library. Your file never leaves your device.
