SVG optimiser that strips the bloat design tools leave behind.
Why we recommend it
Exports from Illustrator and Figma carry a surprising amount of redundant metadata — this routinely cuts file size by half or more with no visible difference.
Strengths
- Typically 40–60% size reduction on tool-exported SVGs
- Configurable plugin pipeline
- Integrates into build tools and CI
Keep in mind
- Aggressive settings can break animations or scripted SVGs
- Command-line by default
- Needs care with SVGs that have referenced IDs
