Frequently Asked Questions

Is my SVG uploaded to a server?
No. All optimization runs entirely in your browser. Your SVG content never leaves your device.
Will optimization break my SVG?
The optimizations target only safe-to-remove content like comments, metadata, and editor artifacts. Visual output remains unchanged.
How much size reduction can I expect?
Results vary. SVGs exported from editors like Illustrator or Inkscape often shrink 20–60% after removing editor data and whitespace.
Can I prettify the output instead of minifying?
Yes. Enable the Prettify output option to get readable, indented SVG instead of minified output.
