Frequently asked questions
Does minification change how the SVG looks?+
No. Minification only removes non-visual content: XML comments, whitespace between tags, empty attributes, and redundant namespace declarations. The rendered SVG is pixel-identical to the original.
How much file size reduction can I expect?+
Typical reductions: Figma exports 50–65% smaller, Illustrator exports 40–60% smaller, hand-written SVGs 20–40% smaller. Complex files with many gradient defs often see the largest savings.
Is it safe to use minified SVGs in production?+
Yes. The minifier preserves all visual, scripting, and accessibility content. Inline JavaScript, ARIA attributes, and event handlers are not touched.
What is the maximum file size?+
Free tier: 5 MB. Pro tier: 50 MB with batch support for up to 20 files at once.
