Uses external API

Optimize 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.

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.
