SVG Optimizer

Online SVG optimization. Compress and organize files in a second

This tool allows you to wholesale minimize and clean SVG files without losing visual quality. You upload the files, select options and start optimization. The mechanism is based on SVGO and safe fallbacks, and presents the results in a clear table with savings and fast downloads.

works What the tool can do and who it is intended for

SVG Optimization module simplifies the work of graphic designers, web developers and marketers who want to reduce the weight of icons or illustrations while keeping the vectors sharp. It runs in multi-file mode, uses asynchronous server-side processing, and displays previews. You get a set of out-of-the-box options consistent with SVGO practice, including removing comments and metadata, clearing identifiers, eliminating unused definitions, and the ability to preserve theviewBoxattribute. The panel supports dragging and dropping, informs about file sizes and monitors the weight limit.

• Automatic size minimization with full control over key plugins.
• Thumbnail preview and size information before optimization.
• Leaderboard with savings percentage and single file download option.
• Safe fallbacks in case the SVGO binary is not available in the environment.
• Ability to maintain responsiveness by maintainingviewBox.

How the mechanism underneath works

The Livewire component collects uploaded files and immediately builds a view list. Theoptimizemethod validates the MIME type and size, then runs an optimization sequence for each file. First, it detects the path to SVGO on the system. If the tool is available, it builds a minimal JSON configuration file with a list of enabled plugins and invokes the SVGO command with the--configoption. When SVGO is not available, it tries a Spatie-style image optimizer chain. If that doesn't work, it uses safe reduction by removing comments and folding whitespace. Each result goes to public storage and receives a URL address for download.

// Pseudocode of the path
for file in local_files:
  temp = storeTemp(file)
  before = filesize(temp)
  cfg = buildSvgoConfig(options) // removeComments, removeMetadata, cleanupIDs, removeUselessDefs, removeViewBox
  if svgoAvailable():
     run `svgo --input temp --output out --config cfg`
  else if spatieChainAvailable():
     copy temp -> out; ImageOptimizer::optimize(out)
  else:
     out = basicMinify(temp) // regex for comments + whitespace compression
  after = filesize(out)
  saved = max(0, before - after)
  percent = before > 0 ? round(saved/before*100, 2) : 0
  url = Storage::disk('public')->putFileAndGetUrl(out)
  pushRow(name, before, after, saved, percent, url)
