About SVG Optimizer — Free Online Tool
SVG Optimizer strips out the parts of an SVG that draw nothing — editor comments, the XML declaration and DOCTYPE, metadata blocks, Inkscape and Sketch namespace attributes — and collapses the whitespace between tags. Dropping title and desc elements is offered too, but left off by default, because screen readers use them.
The edits are textual: known non-rendering constructs are matched and removed, and path geometry is left byte for byte alone, so the rendered result cannot change. That is the trade being made. A dedicated optimiser such as SVGO goes further — rounding coordinates, merging paths, shortening colour values — and saves more, at the cost of shifting shapes by a fraction of a pixel. The largest savings here come from files exported straight out of a drawing application, which often carry more editor bookkeeping than drawing instructions.
The file is read as text and rewritten in the page, so an unreleased icon set is not uploaded.
Cleaning an SVG out of Illustrator or Figma before it goes into a component, cutting the weight of an inline icon, removing an editor's traces from a file you are handing over, and tidying markup before it is committed.

When to use it
Design tools export editor metadata, namespaces and hidden layers that a browser never reads, so removing them shrinks the file with no visual change.
How it works
Identifies and removes XML declarations, DOCTYPEs, editor namespaces, and non-rendering comments while preserving path geometry byte-for-byte.
Safe Minification
Preserves viewBox attributes and vector render fidelity.
