SVG CLEANUP
Optimize SVG text
SVG optimizer guide
Remove comments and unnecessary whitespace from SVG markup for a smaller, cleaner text representation.
The operation is local and intentionally conservative. Always review complex SVG output before publishing it.
What is optimized
This tool removes XML comments and compresses whitespace around selected punctuation. It does not perform path simplification, shape conversion, ID deduplication, viewBox repair, or image compression.
Review output carefully
SVG can contain styles, definitions, text, embedded data, metadata, and scripts. A smaller string is not automatically a safer or more compatible asset.
A production workflow
- Keep the original SVG under version control.
- Open the result in the browsers and design tools you support.
- Use a specialist optimizer and sanitizer when you need aggressive size reduction or untrusted-input handling.
Tip: Do not describe this cleanup as sanitization: it does not remove all active content or make untrusted SVG safe.
Frequently asked questions
Does optimization change the drawing?
The intended operation removes comments and unnecessary whitespace, but always review output when SVG markup is complex.
Does this upload SVG files?
No. SVG text is processed locally in your browser.
Is this an SVG sanitizer?
No. It is a lightweight text cleanup tool and does not remove every potentially active or unsafe SVG feature.
Privacy note: SVG cleanup happens in your browser. Your markup is not stored or uploaded.
