# SVG Optimizer

Optimize and minify SVG files in your browser. Remove metadata, collapse whitespace, shorten colors, and see size savings instantly.

## How It Works

1. **Paste your SVG** — Paste SVG code from your editor, Figma export, or any source into the input area.
2. **See the optimized result** — The tool removes metadata, comments, empty groups, collapses whitespace, and shortens colors — all instantly.
3. **Copy or download** — Copy the optimized SVG or download it as a file. Check the size savings shown above the output.

## FAQ

### What optimizations are applied?

XML declarations, doctype, comments, editor metadata (Inkscape, Sodipodi), empty attributes, default values, empty groups are removed. Whitespace is collapsed, path data is cleaned, and hex colors are shortened (#AABBCC to #ABC).

### Is this as good as SVGO?

This is a lightweight client-side optimizer — it handles the most impactful optimizations. For production assets with complex paths, a full SVGO pipeline may squeeze out a few more bytes.

### Will it break my SVG?

The optimizations are conservative — they remove only clearly unnecessary data. The live preview shows the result so you can verify before using it.

### Is my SVG sent to a server?

No. All optimization runs entirely in your browser. Nothing is uploaded.
