Using the svg optimizer
The tool parses SVG, removes comments and metadata elements, then serializes the remaining vector content. Geometry, path coordinates and text spacing stay intact. Active content and external resources are rejected.
A worked example
The sample rectangle keeps its 40 × 20 geometry while its editor comment is removed.
Before you use the result
This is conservative cleanup, not maximum compression. Scripts, stylesheets, foreign objects and external image/font references are unsupported. The cleaned file may be larger after normalized serialization.
