SVG Minifier - Clean, Fast & Secure

Compress your vector files for superior web performance. Remove the bloat, keep the beauty.

1

Upload SVGs

Drag and drop your SVG files directly. No uploadwait time—they load instantly.

2

Tune Settings

Toggle comment removal, metadata stripping, and adjust coordinate precision to balance size vs quality.

3

Instant Minify

Get your optimized code immediately. Copy to clipboard or download the files back to your system.

Why Minify?

Unoptimized SVGs often contain 50% unnecessary characters just from editor metadata. Minifying them reduces network payload, making your site load faster.

Intelligence Inside

Features for Front-End Pros

We built this tool to be the ultimate companion for developers and designers who care about code quality.

Code Cleaning

Removes Adobe Illustrator / Figma metadata, comments, and proprietary namespace tags.

Path Optimization

Intelligently rounds coordinate values (e.g., 10.000032 to 10) to save massive space.

Local Security

Runs 100% in your browser. Perfect for NDA-protected assets or private company logos.

Instant Feedback

See the file size savings in real-time as you tweak the settings.

Engineering Philosophy

Surgical Precision.
Byte-Level Optimization.

SVGs are code, not just pixels. And code can be messy. Our mission was to build a sanitizer that thinks like a compiler—parsing the SVG structure and rebuilding it with mathematical efficiency.

Our Browser-Native Parser reads your SVG directly in the client. This offers two massive advantages: zero latency (no server upload needed) and absolute privacy. Your intellectual property—your logos, icons, and diagrams—never leaves your machine.

We implemented a "Precision-Rounding" algorithm that intelligently truncates decimal points in vector paths. Often, design tools export coordinates with 10+ decimal places. Our engine crunches this down to what matters visually, often shaving 50% of the file size instantly without altering a single curve visible to the eye.

Understanding SVG Optimization

Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) are an XML-based image format. This means they are essentially text documents describing lines, curves, and colors. Because they are text, they can contain a lot of unnecessary characters that don't contribute to the visual output but do contribute to the file size.

Graphic design software like Adobe Illustrator or Inkscape often embed metadata, layer information, and editor-specific proprietary data into the SVG file. While useful for editing, this data is useless for a web browser and wastes bandwidth. **SVG Minification** is the process of stripping this data and simplifying the mathematical coordinates to the lowest necessary precision.

How RiseConvert Optimizes Safely

We take a conservative but effective approach to optimization to ensure your SVGs never break:

  • Safe Rounding: We round coordinates to 2 decimal places by default, which is the sweet spot for web viewing on standard and retina displays.
  • Structure Preservation: We respect the `<defs>` and `<use>` structure ensuring that shared gradients and reusable components within the SVG remain intact.
  • Namespace Cleaning: We specifically target namespaces from popular editors (xmlns:adobe, etc.) and remove attributes bound to them.

SVG Glossary

Path Data (d)

The attribute string containing the commands (M, L, C, z) that define the vector shape.

ViewBox

Defines the position and dimension of the SVG viewport. Essential for responsive scaling.

XML Namespace

Attributes starting with xmlns: that define the context of tags. Many are optional for web rendering.

Base64

A way to embed raster images inside an SVG file, which massively increases file size.

Minimize

The act of removing non-essential whitespace and characters.

Gzip

Server-side compression. Minified SVGs compress even better with Gzip.

Frequently Asked Questions

Privacy-First Architecture

Your Code,
Your Machine.

We've revolutionized tool security by removing the server from the equation. When you use this tool, the JavaScript engine in your own browser does all the work.

Instant Data Wipe

Since the file is in your RAM, simply closing the tab destroys the data instantly.

Zero-Knowledge

We literally cannot see your files. No upload means no interception risk.
