Frequently Asked Questions

What does SVG optimization remove?

The optimizer removes XML declarations, editor metadata (from Illustrator, Sketch, Figma), comments, empty groups, default attribute values, unused namespaces, and redundant whitespace.

Will optimization change how my SVG looks?

No, the optimization only removes non-visual data. The preview shows the optimized SVG so you can verify it looks identical to the original before downloading.

How much can SVG files be reduced?

Typical reductions range from 20% to 60% depending on the source. SVGs exported from design tools like Illustrator and Figma often contain significant metadata that can be safely removed.

Will SVG optimization break my animations or interactivity?

The optimizer is careful with functional attributes, but aggressive optimization could remove IDs or classes used by CSS animations or JavaScript. If your SVG includes animations or interactive elements, review the optimized output to ensure those attributes are preserved. You can adjust optimization settings to be less aggressive if needed.
