About:
SVGCleaner is a desktop application that optimizes SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) files by removing redundant and unnecessary data. It reduces file size by cleaning metadata, editor data, and unused definitions while preserving the visual integrity of the graphic. Its primary value is in preparing SVGs for web use, improving performance and compatibility.

Key Features:

Removes editor-specific metadata (e.g., from Adobe Illustrator, Inkscape)
Optimizes SVG paths and structures for smaller file sizes
Preserves visual appearance and vector quality
Batch processing for multiple files
Cross-platform GUI for ease of use

Use Cases:

Preparing SVG assets for web deployment to reduce page load times
Cleaning exported graphics from design software before version control or sharing

Alternatives:

svgo – Node.js-based optimizer, often used in build pipelines, while svgcleaner is a standalone GUI desktop tool.
