SVGO

SVG Optimizer is a Nodejs-based tool for optimizing SVG vector graphics files.

Why?

SVG files, especially those exported from various editors, usually contain a lot of redundant and useless information. This can include editor metadata, comments, hidden elements, default or non-optimal values and other stuff that can be safely removed or converted without affecting the SVG rendering result.

What it can do

SVGO has a plugin-based architecture, so almost every optimization is a separate plugin.

Today we have:

| Plugin | Description | Default | | ------ | ----------- | ------- | | cleanupAttrs | cleanup attributes from newlines, trailing, and repeating spaces | enabled | | inlineStyles | move and merge styles from <style> elements to element style attributes | enabled | | removeDoctype | remove doctype declaration | enabled | | removeXMLProcInst | remove XML processing instructions | enabled | | removeComments | remove comments | enabled | | removeMetadata | remove <metadata> | enabled | | removeTitle | remove <title> | enabled | | removeDesc | remove <desc> | enabled | | removeUselessDefs | remove elements of <defs> without id | enabled | | removeXMLNS | removes xmlns attribute (for inline svg) | disabled | | removeEditorsNSData | remove editors namespaces, elements, and attributes | enabled | | removeEmptyAttrs | remove empty attributes | enabled | | removeHiddenElems | remove hidden elements | enabled | | removeEmptyText | remove empty Text elements | enabled | | removeEmptyContainers | remove empty Container elements | enabled | | removeViewBox | remove viewBox attribute when possible | enabled | | cleanupEnableBackground | remove or cleanup enable-background attribute when possible | enabled | | minifyStyles | minify <style> elements content with CSSO | enabled | | convertStyleToAttrs | convert styles into attributes | enabled | | convertColors | convert colors (from rgb() to #rrggbb, from #rrggbb to #rgb) | enabled | | convertPathData | convert Path data to relative or absolute (whichever is shorter), convert one segment to another, trim useless delimiters, smart rounding, and much more | enabled | | convertTransform | collapse multiple transforms into one, convert matrices to the short aliases, and much more | enabled | | removeUnknownsAndDefaults | remove unknown elements content and attributes, remove attrs with default values | enabled | | removeNonInheritableGroupAttrs | remove non-inheritable group's "presentation" attributes | enabled | | removeUselessStrokeAndFill | remove useless stroke and fill attrs | enabled | | removeUnusedNS | remove unused namespaces declaration | enabled | | prefixIds | prefix IDs and classes with the SVG filename or an arbitrary string | disabled | | cleanupIDs | remove unused and minify used IDs | enabled | | cleanupNumericValues | round numeric values to the fixed precision, remove default px units | enabled | | cleanupListOfValues | round numeric values in attributes that take a list of numbers (like viewBox or enable-background) | disabled | | moveElemsAttrsToGroup | move elements' attributes to their enclosing group | enabled | | moveGroupAttrsToElems | move some group attributes to the contained elements | enabled | | collapseGroups | collapse useless groups | enabled | | removeRasterImages | remove raster images | disabled | | mergePaths | merge multiple Paths into one | enabled | | convertShapeToPath | convert some basic shapes to <path> | enabled | | convertEllipseToCircle | convert non-eccentric <ellipse> to <circle> | enabled | | sortAttrs | sort element attributes for epic readability | disabled | | sortDefsChildren | sort children of <defs> in order to improve compression | enabled | | removeDimensions | remove width/height and add viewBox if it's missing (opposite to removeViewBox, disable it first) | disabled | | removeAttrs | remove attributes by pattern | disabled | | removeAttributesBySelector | removes attributes of elements that match a css selector | disabled | | removeElementsByAttr | remove arbitrary elements by ID or className | disabled | | addClassesToSVGElement | add classnames to an outer <svg> element | disabled | | addAttributesToSVGElement | adds attributes to an outer <svg> element | disabled | | removeOffCanvasPaths | removes elements that are drawn outside of the viewbox | disabled | | removeStyleElement | remove <style> elements | disabled | | removeScriptElement | remove <script> elements | disabled | | reusePaths | Find duplicated elements and replace them with links | disabled | | currentColor | set currentColor for color, fill and stroke attributes for redefine ability from CSS | disabled |

Usage

CLI

Usage:
  svgo [OPTIONS] [ARGS]

Options:
  -h, --help : Help
  -v, --version : Version
  -i INPUT, --input=INPUT : Input file, "-" for STDIN
  -s STRING, --string=STRING : Input SVG data string
  -f FOLDER, --folder=FOLDER : Input folder, optimize and rewrite all *.svg files
  -o OUTPUT, --output=OUTPUT : Output file or folder (by default the same as the input), "-" for STDOUT
  -p PRECISION, --precision=PRECISION : Set number of digits in the fractional part, overrides plugins params
  --config=CONFIG : Config file or JSON string to extend or replace default
  --disable=PLUGIN : Disable plugin by name, "--disable=PLUGIN1,PLUGIN2" for multiple plugins
  --enable=PLUGIN : Enable plugin by name, "--enable=PLUGIN3,PLUGIN4" for multiple plugins
  --datauri=DATAURI : Output as Data URI string (base64, URI encoded or unencoded)
  --multipass : Pass over SVGs multiple times to ensure all optimizations are applied
  --pretty : Make SVG pretty printed
  --indent=INDENT : Indent number when pretty printing SVGs
  -r, --recursive : Use with '-f'. Optimizes *.svg files in folders recursively.
  -q, --quiet : Only output error messages, not regular status messages
  --show-plugins : Show available plugins and exit

Arguments:
  INPUT : Alias to --input

• with files:

  $ svgo test.svg

  or:

  $ svgo *.svg

  $ svgo test.svg -o test.min.svg

  $ svgo test.svg other.svg third.svg

  $ svgo test.svg other.svg third.svg -o test.min.svg -o other.min.svg -o third.min.svg

• with STDIN / STDOUT:

  $ cat test.svg | svgo -i - -o - > test.min.svg

• with folder

  $ svgo -f ../path/to/folder/with/svg/files

  or:

  $ svgo -f ../path/to/folder/with/svg/files -o ../path/to/folder/with/svg/output

  $ svgo *.svg -o ../path/to/folder/with/svg/output

• with strings:

  $ svgo -s '<svg version="1.1">test</svg>' -o test.min.svg

  or even with Data URI base64:

  $ svgo -s 'data:image/svg+xml;base64,...' -o test.min.svg

• with SVGZ:

  from .svgz to .svg:

  $ gunzip -c test.svgz | svgo -i - -o test.min.svg

  from .svg to .svgz:

  $ svgo test.svg -o - | gzip -cfq9 > test.svgz
