What Compress SVG is for
Use this tool to minify an SVG while keeping the .svg format. It strips editor metadata, comments and whitespace and rounds path numbers right in your browser, so the image looks the same and nothing is uploaded.
- Shrink an SVG icon or logo by stripping editor metadata and whitespace.
- Clean up bulky Illustrator, Inkscape or Figma exports before shipping them.
- Trim path numbers to cut the size of inline SVGs in HTML or CSS.
- Minify a batch of SVG files in one pass.
Best practices for better results
Image optimization works best when you choose the right balance between file size, visual quality, dimensions, format compatibility and privacy. These tips help you get a cleaner result.
- Most of the savings come from stripping editor metadata, comments and whitespace.
- Precision 2 is safe for almost any artwork; lower it only for simple shapes.
- Raise precision if a very detailed path looks slightly off after rounding.
- Keep your editable master file and minify only the copy you ship.
What happens to your images?
When you choose a file, your browser reads it locally and creates the processed version on your own device. CompressImage.ca does not receive the original image or the finished file.
That local-first approach is useful for personal photos, client work, screenshots, documents, product images and other files you do not want to upload to a third-party server.
When to use another tool
The best tool depends on what you are trying to fix. Compression reduces file size, resizing changes dimensions, conversion changes format, cropping changes framing, and metadata removal cleans hidden information from the file.
| Goal | Best tool |
|---|---|
| Make a file smaller | Compress Image |
| Hit an exact file size | Compress Image to Size |
| Change image dimensions | Resize Image |
| Create WebP files for websites | Convert to WebP |
| Convert iPhone photos | HEIC to JPG |
| Remove hidden photo data | Remove EXIF |

Compress SVG FAQ
How do I compress an SVG file?
Drop your .svg files, pick a coordinate precision if you want, and download the minified copies. The markup is cleaned and optimised entirely in your browser.
What does compressing an SVG actually do?
SVG is a text format, so compression means minifying the code: removing comments, editor metadata, unused namespaces and whitespace, and rounding long path numbers. The image still looks the same.
Will minifying change how my SVG looks?
No. Only invisible code is removed. Coordinate rounding uses a safe default, but you can raise the precision if a very detailed shape looks slightly off.
Are my SVG files uploaded?
No. SVG files are read and minified locally in your browser, so they never leave your device.
