Frequently Asked Questions
Does optimization change the appearance?
No, the optimizer removes only non-visual data like metadata and comments. The SVG looks identical.
How much size reduction is typical?
SVGs exported from design tools often contain 30-70% unnecessary data. Optimization typically reduces size by 20-50%.
Does it affect SVG animations?
Basic animations are preserved. Complex SMIL animations may need manual review after optimization.
Can I optimize SVG icons?
Yes, SVG icons are ideal candidates for optimization as they often contain significant editor metadata.
Is the optimized SVG still valid?
Yes, the output is valid SVG that works in all modern browsers and SVG-compatible applications.
