Common questions
What does the optimizer remove?
Safe, non-visual cruft: XML comments, <metadata> and <title>/<desc> if you choose, editor-specific namespaces and attributes (like Inkscape/Illustrator data), XML declarations and DOCTYPEs, and redundant whitespace between tags. The paths and shapes are left unchanged.
Will it change how my SVG looks?
No. It only strips metadata and whitespace, so the rendered result is identical. It does not round path coordinates or merge shapes, so there is no risk of visual drift — the trade-off is a more conservative size reduction than heavy optimizers.
Can I preview before optimizing?
Yes. The preview renders your SVG as you paste or upload it, and updates to the optimized version so you can confirm it still looks right before copying or downloading.
Is my SVG uploaded anywhere?
No. Parsing, preview, and optimization all run in your browser. The markup you paste or the file you upload is never sent to a server.
