Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about SVG Optimizer, answered below

How much can SVG files be reduced?

Typically 30-70% depending on the source. Files from editors like Illustrator have the most optimization potential.

Will optimization change how the SVG looks?

No, only non-visual data is removed. The side-by-side preview lets you verify before downloading.

What editor data is removed?

Inkscape, Adobe Illustrator, Sketch, and Figma-specific attributes, namespaces, and metadata elements.

Can optimization break an SVG?

Yes, if the SVG depends on metadata, IDs, scripts, external assets, or unusual editor output. Always compare the preview before using the optimized file.

Can I process multiple SVGs?

Currently one at a time. Upload a new SVG after downloading the optimized version.

Is my SVG uploaded during optimization?

Optimization runs in your browser. The selected SVG is not uploaded to Rune for this operation.

Why did my CSS or animation change?

Some optimizations remove IDs, classes, metadata, or hidden elements. Disable the relevant option if your SVG relies on those references.

What SVG features are preserved during optimization?

All visual elements including paths, shapes, gradients, filters, masks, clip-paths, text, and animations are preserved. Only non-visual metadata and redundant code is removed.

Can I customize which optimizations are applied?

Yes! Toggle 12 individual optimization settings to control exactly what gets removed, from metadata and comments to empty groups and hidden elements.

Does this work with animated SVGs?

Yes, animated SVGs are supported. The optimizer preserves CSS and SMIL animations while removing unnecessary data. Preview the result to verify animations still work correctly.
