Frequently Asked Questions

How does SVG minification work?
SVG minification strips XML comments, prolog headers, editor metadata (Inkscape/Illustrator tags), and redundant whitespace from SVG code.
Does SVG minification break animation or interactivity?
Basic minification retains element IDs, viewBox, and CSS classes unless custom stripping rules are selected.
How much file size reduction can I expect?
SVGs exported directly from graphics software often contain 30% to 60% unnecessary metadata that can be safely removed.
