Optimizing SVGs is essential for improving performance, ensuring faster load times, and reducing file sizes. It helps clean up unnecessary code, making the SVG easier to maintain and more compatible across browsers and devices.

Step 1: Open SVGOMG

Go to SVGOMG. This tool helps simplify and optimize SVG files.

Step 2: Import Your SVG

Click Open SVG and select the file you want to optimize.
Alternatively, paste the SVG code directly into the input box.

Step 3: Configure Optimization Features

In the Features section, enable all options except the following:

Remove xmlns
Round/rewrite number lists
Replace duplicate elements with lists

The SVG will automatically update based on your configuration.

Step 4: Download or Copy the Optimized SVG

Click Download to save the optimized SVG file.
Alternatively, copy the optimized SVG code directly from the interface.

Step 5: Edit the SVG

Open the SVG file in a text editor.
Remove any empty fills or strokes (e.g., fill="" or stroke="").
Ensure there is an empty line at the end of the file to maintain formatting consistency.

Your SVG is now optimized and ready to use!
