SVGO Documentation

About SVGO Documentation

The SVGO documentation on GitHub is the authoritative reference for the de-facto standard SVG optimizer. SVGO strips editor metadata, minifies path data, collapses groups, and applies dozens of other transformations — typically shrinking files 30-70% with no visual change. These docs cover every plugin, preset, and config option.

Key Highlights

• Removes editor metadata, comments, and hidden elements
• Minifies path data with precision-aware rounding
• Plugin-based architecture — enable only what you need
• Powers SVGO-based tools like SVGOMG, ImageOptim, and many bundler plugins

Our Take

Required reading before tuning SVGO for production — the defaults are good, but the per-plugin options here are how you squeeze the last bytes out.
