Compress SVG online with a cleaner, lighter workflow
Use this free SVG compressor to clean selected markup from logos, icons, and vector illustrations. Choose which SVG minifier options to apply, inspect the preview, and download the SVG only when the processed file is smaller.

See what an SVG minifier cleans up
SVG compression works on text-based markup, not pixels. In this illustration, the vector artwork looks the same while a sample comment and formatting whitespace are removed from the source.
Example only—not a measured file or a promise of identical rendering. Actual file-size changes depend on the SVG and the options you select.

What this SVG optimizer can clean
Apply only the markup cleanup available in the tool. Your SVG remains an SVG file; the actual size change varies by source.
Remove XML comments
Strip comment blocks that can remain in exported SVG markup.
Clean selected editor data
Remove supported Inkscape and Sodipodi metadata and attributes.
Minify markup whitespace
Collapse extra whitespace in the SVG source when that option is enabled.
Process in your browser
The SVG cleanup runs locally in your browser instead of uploading the file for processing.
Three steps, no setup
How to reduce SVG file size
Run a quick SVG markup cleanup online, then decide whether the output works for your project.
Add your SVG file
Choose an SVG image from your device or drop it into the compressor.
Choose what to clean
Toggle comment removal, selected editor metadata, and whitespace minification.
Review and download
Check the SVG preview and output size. Download the cleaned file when it is smaller.
Behind the scenes
How PngExport compresses SVG in your browser
The process is a small sequence of markup cleanup and size checks— not a server upload or a vector-path redesign.
01
Read the SVG locally
PngExport reads the selected .svg file as text in your browser. The compression step does not upload the file to a server.
02
Apply your cleanup choices
The enabled options remove XML comments, selected editor metadata, and markup whitespace. Each option can be switched off before processing.
03
Create and compare the SVG
The cleaned markup is turned into a new SVG file in the browser, then its file size is compared with the original.
04
Keep the smaller result
A download is offered only when the processed SVG is smaller. Otherwise, the tool reports that it could not reduce the file size.
Note: whitespace minification collapses whitespace throughout the SVG markup and may affect spacing in some SVG text. Turn that option off when exact text spacing matters, and review your artwork before saving.
Built for everyday vector files
Where an online SVG compressor fits
SVG is a scalable vector format often used for crisp graphics across different screen sizes. Clean exported markup before using an SVG asset in a website, product interface, or creative project.
Logos and brand marks
Clean up an exported SVG logo before adding it to a website, deck, or design system.
Icons and interface assets
Run a quick SVG minifier over small UI icons and interface graphics.
Illustrations and line art
Reduce avoidable markup in vector illustrations while keeping the file in SVG format.
Your SVG is processed in the browser
The file is read and cleaned locally in your browser. The compression action does not upload your SVG to a server, so you can preview the artwork and check the output size before downloading.

SVG, PNG, or JPEG?
Choose the format based on the kind of image and where you plan to use it.
| Format | Good for | Scales without pixelation |
|---|---|---|
| SVG | Logos, icons, vector art | Yes |
| PNG | Transparency, screenshots | No |
| JPEG | Photographs | No |

SVG compressor questions
What does this SVG compressor change?
It can remove XML comments, selected editor metadata and attributes, and extra markup whitespace. It does not simplify vector paths or run a full SVGO-style optimization.
Will compressing an SVG always make it smaller?
No. The result depends on the file and the selected cleanup options. If the processed markup is not smaller, this tool keeps the original rather than offering a larger download.
Can minifying SVG whitespace change text?
It can. The whitespace option collapses whitespace throughout the markup, which may affect spacing in some SVG text. Turn that option off and review the preview if your SVG contains text or relies on exact spacing.
Are my SVG files uploaded to a server?
The SVG is read and processed in your browser; the compression step does not upload the file to a server.
What can I use an SVG file for?
SVG is commonly used for logos, icons, illustrations, and interface graphics because vector artwork can scale to different sizes without becoming pixelated.
Should I use SVG or PNG?
Use SVG when you need scalable vector artwork and your destination supports it. PNG is a raster format that works well for screenshots, detailed pixel graphics, and broad image compatibility.
Review SVGs containing text, document type declarations, or external references after cleanup. If whitespace is important to your artwork, switch off whitespace minification before processing.
