# Optimize SVG — minify with SVGO, no upload

> Minify SVG files with SVGO in your browser and see the before/after byte size. Strips editor bloat without changing how the icon looks — no upload.

Minify SVG files with SVGO right in your browser, stripping the bloat editors leave behind, and see the before/after byte size. The optimization runs locally, so the file isn't uploaded.

SVGs exported from design tools are full of editor metadata and redundant precision that inflate their size — which matters when they ship on every page load. SVGO cleans that up, often cutting the file substantially with no visible change.

The before/after byte count makes the win concrete. To pack several optimized icons into one asset use the Sprite sheet, or turn one into a Favicon pack.

## How to

1. **Add the SVG.** Drop the .svg file you want to shrink.
2. **Optimize.** SVGO strips metadata, comments, and redundant markup.
3. **Compare & save.** See the byte savings and download the optimized SVG.

## FAQ

### What does SVGO remove?

Editor metadata, comments, hidden elements, and redundant attributes and precision — cruft that bloats the file without affecting how the icon renders.

### Will optimizing change how my icon looks?

The defaults are safe and preserve appearance. Very aggressive settings can alter rendering, so compare the preview if you push them.

### Is my SVG uploaded to optimize it?

No. SVGO runs in your browser, so the markup stays on your device.
