About:
SVGO is a Node.js-based toolkit and Node.js module for optimizing SVG vector graphics files. It parses SVG, applies a series of transformation plugins, and re-serializes the output for minimal size. The primary value is reducing file size for faster web loading while preserving visual fidelity.
Key Features:
  • Extensible plugin-based architecture for custom optimizations
  • Configurable via .svgo.config.js or JSON configuration
  • Command-line interface for batch processing and CI integration
  • Preserves visual appearance while removing redundant data
Use Cases:
  • Optimizing SVG assets during web application builds
  • Reducing payload size for responsive websites and PWAs
  • Automating SVG cleanup in CI/CD pipelines
Alternatives:
  • svgcleaner – Lightweight, non-Node tool focused on basic cleaning; fewer features than SVGO
  • scour – Python-based optimizer with strong precision; heavier dependency than SVGO
