SVGO

SVG Optimizer is a Nodejs-based tool for optimizing SVG vector graphics files.
Why?
SVG files, especially exported from various editors, usually contains a lot of redundant and useless information such as editor metadata, comments, hidden elements, default or non-optimal values and other stuff that can be safely removed or converted without affecting SVG rendering result.
What it can do
SVGO has a plugin-based architecture, so almost every optimization is a separate plugin.
Today we have:
- [ > ] cleanup attributes from newlines, trailing and repeating spaces
- [ > ] remove doctype declaration
- [ > ] remove XML processing instructions
- [ > ] remove comments
- [ > ] remove
<metadata> - [ > ] remove
<title>(disabled by default) - [ > ] remove
<desc>(only non-meaningful by default) - [ > ] remove elements of
<defs>withoutid - [ > ] remove editors namespaces, elements and attributes
- [ > ] remove empty attributes
- [ > ] remove hidden elements
- [ > ] remove empty Text elements
- [ > ] remove empty Container elements
- [ > ] remove
viewBoxattribute when possible (disabled by default) - [ > ] remove or cleanup
enable-backgroundattribute when possible - [ > ] convert styles into attributes
- [ > ] convert colors (from
rgb()to#rrggbb, from#rrggbbto#rgb) - [ > ] convert Path data to relative or absolute whichever is shorter, convert one segment to another, trim useless delimiters, smart rounding and much more
- [ > ] collapse multiple transforms into one, convert matrices to the short aliases and much more
- [ > ] remove unknown elements content and attributes, remove attrs with default values
- [ > ] remove non-inheritable group's "presentation" attributes
- [ > ] remove useless stroke and fill attrs
- [ > ] remove unused namespaces declaration
- [ > ] remove unused and minify used IDs
- [ > ] round numeric values to the fixed precision, remove default 'px' units
- [ > ] move elements attributes to the existing group wrapper
- [ > ] move some group attributes to the content elements
- [ > ] collapse useless groups
- [ > ] remove raster images (disabled by default)
- [ > ] merge multiple Paths into one
- [ > ] convert some basic shapes to path
- [ > ] sort element attributes for epic readability (disabled by default)
- [ > ] apply transforms, crop by real width, center vertical alignment and resize SVG with one Path inside (disabled by default)
Want to know how it works and how to write your own plugin? Of course you want to.
