Privacy: Everything happens in your browser. We never see the SVG you paste — the file is parsed and rewritten on the page and the optimized output is generated locally.

## About

Paste or drop an SVG and the tool rewrites it in your browser, removing the things designers and tools tend to add but that you don't need on a live page: editor comments, empty group wrappers, default attribute values, and high-precision coordinate floats.

You control what gets stripped. Numeric precision, comment removal, metadata removal, whitespace collapse, default-attribute removal, and empty-group removal are all independent toggles, so the result is exactly the cleanup you want.

## How to use

1. **Paste or drop an SVG** — You can paste the markup directly, or drop a .svg file onto the input box. The whole file stays in your browser.
2. **Pick your cleanup options** — Each option has a clear name and an obvious effect. The defaults work well for most exports from Figma, Illustrator, and Inkscape.
3. **Copy or download the result** — When you're happy with the cleaned-up SVG, copy it to your clipboard or download it as a new .svg file. The original is not modified.

## FAQ

### Is this safe to use on a logo or icon I paid a designer for?

Yes — the optimizer never reinterprets paths or changes geometry at the default precision. It only strips comments, empty wrappers, and default attributes, and rounds floats. The visual output is identical to the input within the precision you set.

### Will the optimizer break my SVG?

No. It only removes a few categories of safe-to-strip content (comments, empty <g> wrappers, attributes that match the SVG default) and rounds numbers. It does not merge paths, reoptimize curves, or transform the geometry.

### What does "remove default attributes" do?

Many SVGs include attributes like fill-opacity="1" or stroke="none" that match the SVG default and add no information. The optimizer drops them, which usually saves a few percent on icons and a lot more on large exported illustrations.

### Do I need to upload the SVG?

No. The whole optimization runs in your browser. The file is parsed, simplified, and re-serialized on this page; nothing is sent to a server.
