SVG Optimizer
Uses external APIOptimize SVG files with SVGO — remove bloat, merge paths, see file size savings.
Optimize SVG files using SVGO. Remove comments, metadata, and hidden elements. Merge paths and round numbers. See before/after preview with file size savings percentage.
SVG Optimizer tool
Server-side — your SVG is sent to ToolDock's server for optimization using SVGO. It is not stored — processing happens in memory and the result is returned immediately.

How to use
Paste or upload SVG
Paste SVG markup into the editor or click 'Upload .svg' to load a file. A preview renders below the editor.
Select optimization options
Toggle which optimizations to apply: removing comments, metadata, hidden elements, merging paths, and rounding numbers.
Click Optimize SVG
The SVG is sent to ToolDock's server for SVGO optimization. The result appears in the right panel with a preview.
Download or copy
Click Download to save optimized.svg, or Copy to get the raw SVG markup.
Common use cases
- Reducing SVG icon file sizes — Optimize Figma-exported SVG icons to remove comments and metadata before adding them to a web project.
- Cleaning up SVG before embedding — Strip redundant attributes and hidden layers so the SVG markup is clean for inline use in HTML.
Examples

Frequently asked questions
- What is SVGO?
- SVGO (SVG Optimizer) is the industry-standard Node.js library for optimizing SVG files. It removes unnecessary data and simplifies paths while preserving visual output.
- Will optimization change how my SVG looks?
- Standard optimizations (remove comments/metadata, round numbers) are visually lossless. Options like 'Remove viewBox' can affect scaling behavior — use with caution.
- Is my SVG stored on the server?
- No. Your SVG is sent to the server for optimization, processed in memory by SVGO, and the result is returned immediately. Nothing is saved to disk.
Key concepts
- SVGO
- SVG Optimizer — the industry-standard Node.js library for optimizing SVG files by removing unnecessary data and simplifying paths.
- Path merging
- Combining multiple SVG path elements into a single path, reducing DOM nodes and file size.
