SVGO

SVG Optimizer is a Node.js-based tool for optimizing SVG vector graphics files.

Why?

SVG files, especially those exported from various editors, usually contain a lot of redundant and useless information. This can include editor metadata, comments, hidden elements, default or non-optimal values and other stuff that can be safely removed or converted without affecting the SVG rendering result.

Installation

npm -g install svgo

or

yarn global add svgo

CLI usage

svgo one.svg two.svg -o one.min.svg two.min.svg

Or use the --folder/-f flag to optimize a whole folder of SVG icons

svgo -f ./path/to/folder/with/svg/files -o ./path/to/folder/with/svg/output

See help for advanced usage

svgo --help

Configuration

Some options can be configured with CLI though it may be easier to have the configuration in a separate file. SVGO automatically loads configuration from svgo.config.js or module specified with --config flag.

module.exports = {
  multipass: true, // boolean. false by default
  datauri: 'enc', // 'base64', 'enc' or 'unenc'. 'base64' by default
  js2svg: {
    indent: 2, // string with spaces or number of spaces. 4 by default
    pretty: true, // boolean, false by default
  },
};

SVGO has a plugin-based architecture, so almost every optimization is a separate plugin. There is a set of built-in plugins. See how to configure them:

module.exports = {
  plugins: [
    // enable a built-in plugin by name
    'prefixIds',

    // or by expanded version
    {
      name: 'prefixIds',
    },

    // some plugins allow/require to pass options
    {
      name: 'prefixIds',
      params: {
        prefix: 'my-prefix',
      },
    },
  ],
};

The default preset of plugins is fully overridden if the plugins field is specified. Use preset-default plugin to customize plugins options.

module.exports = {
  plugins: [
    {
      name: 'preset-default',
      params: {
        overrides: {
          // customize options for plugins included in preset
          inlineStyles: {
            onlyMatchedOnce: false,
          },

          // or disable plugins
          removeDoctype: false,
        },
      },
    },

    // enable builtin plugin not included in default preset
    'prefixIds',

    // enable and configure builtin plugin not included in preset
    {
      name: 'sortAttrs',
      params: {
        xmlnsOrder: 'alphabetical',
      },
    },
  ],
};

Default preset includes the following list of plugins:

• removeDoctype
• removeXMLProcInst
• removeComments
• removeMetadata
• removeEditorsNSData
• cleanupAttrs
• mergeStyles
• inlineStyles
• minifyStyles
• cleanupIDs
• removeUselessDefs
• cleanupNumericValues
• convertColors
• removeUnknownsAndDefaults
• removeNonInheritableGroupAttrs
• removeUselessStrokeAndFill
• removeViewBox
• cleanupEnableBackground
• removeHiddenElems
• removeEmptyText
• convertShapeToPath
• convertEllipseToCircle
• moveElemsAttrsToGroup
• moveGroupAttrsToElems
• collapseGroups
• convertPathData
• convertTransform
• removeEmptyAttrs
• removeEmptyContainers
• mergePaths
• removeUnusedNS
• sortDefsChildren
• removeTitle
• removeDesc

It's also possible to specify a custom plugin:

const anotherCustomPlugin = require('./another-custom-plugin.js');
module.exports = {
  plugins: [
    {
      name: 'customPluginName',
      type: 'perItem', // 'perItem', 'perItemReverse' or 'full'
      params: {
        optionName: 'optionValue',
      },
      fn: (ast, params, info) => {},
    },
    anotherCustomPlugin,
  ],
};

API usage

SVGO provides a few low level utilities.

optimize

The core of SVGO is optimize function.

const { optimize } = require('svgo');
const result = optimize(svgString, {
  // optional but recommended field
  path: 'path-to.svg',
  // all config fields are also available here
  multipass: true,
});
const optimizedSvgString = result.data;

loadConfig

If you write a tool on top of SVGO you might need a way to load SVGO config.

const { loadConfig } = require('svgo');
const config = await loadConfig();

// you can also specify a relative or absolute path and customize the current working directory
const config = await loadConfig(configFile, cwd);
