How we review

Extended accessThe tool runs code or makes network calls and only reads external data.

  • The CLI changes SVG files, while configuration and custom plugins execute JavaScript.

This is third-party code. Review the repository files before installing.

What it does

SVGO removes redundant data left in SVG files by vector editors. An agent can process individual files or directories through the terminal and write output separately. Plugins control optimization. Users can keep the default preset or override selected rules and formatting. After processing, the agent can compare file sizes and present the images for visual inspection.

Who it is for. Frontend developers and designers reducing SVG assets exported by vector editors.

Good fit when

  • Editor-generated SVGs contain redundant data.
  • An agent should create lighter icon copies in a separate directory.
  • The team needs reproducible optimization settings.
  • A release needs size and appearance comparison before replacing assets.

Not a fit when

  • Files must remain byte-for-byte unchanged.
  • SVG rendering cannot be checked after structural changes.
  • The task concerns raster JPEG or PNG compression.

Example request

Optimize the test SVG folder into a separate directory and show size and visual differences before replacement.

Limitations

The package requires Node.js 16 or later, so check the installed runtime before starting. Plugins can alter SVG structure and identifiers; inspect settings when CSS or scripts reference elements. The CLI writes results to selected paths, so preserve originals and use a separate output directory initially. Custom plugins and configuration execute JavaScript; inspect unfamiliar configuration before running it.

How to disable. Remove SVGO from build scripts and restore originals from backups or Git. Uninstalling the CLI does not restore overwritten files.

FAQ

Where are rules configured?

In `svgo.config.mjs` or a file selected with `--config`.

Can it process nested folders?

Yes. Use recursive processing with `-r` and select the folder with `-f`.

How do I keep output separate?

Choose an output file or directory with `-o`.

Can I disable one default rule?

Yes. Override or disable the selected plugin within the default preset configuration.

Where are the flags documented?

Run `svgo --help`.
