Maximum 1 MB. For static graphics: scripts, animations, third-party content and external references are removed. Remaining CSS styles can be omitted. IDs, viewBox as well as titles and descriptions are protected during optimization.

What can be reduced in an SVG

Graphics programs often store editor metadata, comments, unnecessary groups, and very accurate coordinates. Optimization with SVGO removes or simplifies such components. The “decimal places” setting controls the numerical accuracy. Four positions is a good place to start; for very small details, five positions can make sense.

The viewBox describes the visible coordinate range and is retained. IDs are not automatically renamed or removed. Titles and descriptions are relevant for accessibility and are protected. Embedded PNG or JPEG images are not recompressed by SVG optimization.

Before exchanging compare the presentation

This tool is designed for static icons, logos and illustrations. Scripts, animations, third-party content and external resources are removed from the output. Simple CSS rules are converted to attributes where possible; unsupported styles may be omitted. Therefore, check both previews and the presentation on your website before replacing the original file.

The preview integrates the SVG as an image. For responsive scaling and barrier-free integration, the context of use and suitable alt texts remain important. Even compact SVG files are not necessarily smaller. The result shows the actual size.

Frequent questions

Are SVG files sent to a server?

No. Optimization and cleanup run locally in the browser. For processing, the SVGO library is loaded by Seitenreport; your SVG content is not uploaded.

Will all functions of my SVG be retained?

The tool is intended for static graphics. Scripts, animations, external references and third-party content are eliminated. Complex CSS rules can change. Please compare presentation and keep the original.

Why is my file not getting smaller?

Already optimized SVGs contain little avoidable code. The reserialization can also complement some signs. Use only one output whose size and presentation fit for your purpose.
