Why it's helpful

Who it's for

Web developers and designers.

How to use it

  1. Paste SVG code or load an .svg file and click Optimize.
  2. Check the preview, then copy the optimized code.
💡 Pro tip: Optimised SVGs can be pasted inline into HTML, saving an extra file request.

💻 Open source: this tool is free and open source (MIT License). View the code on GitHub, download it and run it offline.

The bigger picture: Image & Media

Images and video drive social media and websites, but every platform wants a different size and format. In-browser tools resize, convert and polish media without uploading private photos.

What's changing: Modern formats like WebP and AVIF are replacing heavy JPGs on the web, making pages faster, especially on mobile.

Frequently asked questions
