Getting Started

Overview

SVGO (short for SVG Optimizer) is a Node.js library and command-line application for optimizing SVG files.

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

Install in Node

SVGO requires Node >14.
