SVG Optimizer & Viewer
View, optimize, and convert SVGs to React components. Remove bloat, minify, and preview.
What Is an SVG Optimizer?
An SVG optimizer removes unnecessary metadata, comments, editor artifacts, and bloat from SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) files, reducing their size without affecting visual quality. SVG files exported from tools like Adobe Illustrator, Figma, Sketch, and Inkscape often contain XML declarations, editor namespaces, empty attributes, and verbose path data that inflate file size by 20-60% without adding any visual value.
Optimizing SVGs matters for web performance: smaller files mean faster page loads, lower bandwidth usage, and better Core Web Vitals scores. Since SVGs are XML-based text files, they respond extremely well to optimization — unlike raster images where quality loss is a concern, SVG optimization is lossless.
This tool combines an SVG viewer, optimizer, and React component converter in one interface. Preview SVGs with customizable backgrounds and zoom, optimize with granular toggle controls (remove comments, metadata, editor namespaces, clean path data, minify), and convert optimized SVGs into typed React/TypeScript components — all running entirely in your browser.
How to Optimize SVG Files Online
- Paste your SVG code — Copy the SVG markup from your editor, design tool export, or file and paste it into the input area. The tool displays file info (dimensions, viewBox, element count, path count, and byte size).
- Preview your SVG — Switch to the Preview tab to see your SVG rendered with adjustable background (white, dark, or checkerboard for transparency) and zoom controls (25%-400%).
- Optimize with controls — Go to the Optimize tab and toggle options: remove XML declarations, comments, metadata, editor namespaces, empty attributes, default values, collapse whitespace, clean path data, and optionally minify. See the byte savings in real time.
- Convert to React component — Switch to the React Component tab to get a typed TypeScript React component with camelCase attributes, configurable width/height props, and spread props support.
- Copy or download — Copy the optimized SVG, download as a .svg file, or copy the React component code.
Key Features
- Granular optimization controls — Toggle nine individual optimizations: XML declaration removal, comment removal, metadata removal, editor namespace cleanup, empty attribute removal, default value removal, whitespace collapsing, path data cleaning, and full minification.
- SVG preview with backgrounds — View SVGs on white, dark, or checkerboard backgrounds to check transparency handling, with zoom from 25% to 400%.
- React component conversion — Automatically converts SVG attributes to JSX (e.g.,
stroke-width→strokeWidth,class→className) and wraps in a typed React component with width/height props. - SVG sanitization — Strips potentially dangerous elements like
<script>,<foreignObject>, and inline event handlers for safe rendering. - Real-time size comparison — Shows original and optimized file sizes with percentage reduction, so you can see exactly how much bloat was removed.
- 100% client-side — Your SVG files never leave your browser. No uploads, no server processing.
Common Use Cases
- Optimizing design tool exports — Clean up SVGs exported from Figma, Sketch, Adobe Illustrator, or Inkscape that contain editor-specific metadata and bloated markup.
- Creating React icon components — Convert SVG icons into typed React components for use in React, Next.js, or Remix applications.
- Web performance optimization — Reduce SVG file sizes for faster page loads, especially for icon libraries, illustrations, and inline SVGs.
- Inspecting SVG files — Preview and analyze SVG structure (dimensions, viewBox, element count) to debug rendering issues.
- Security sanitization — Remove potentially malicious script tags, event handlers, and foreign objects from untrusted SVG files before embedding them in your site.
