SVG files can grow large when exported from design tools. A few simple steps can cut file size without losing quality.

Remove unnecessary metadata

Design software often embeds editor metadata, comments and hidden layers. Strip these before shipping to production.

Simplify paths

Complex paths with many points can often be simplified. Use an SVG optimizer or our SVG Optimiser tool to clean and compress.

Use consistent precision

Rounding coordinates to 1–2 decimal places usually keeps icons sharp while reducing file size.
