svgo-ll is a Node.js library and command-line application for optimizing SVG files, evolved from the SVGO package. svgo-ll is focused on lossless optimization and compression.
SVG files, especially those exported from vector editors, usually contain a lot of redundant information. This includes editor metadata, comments, hidden elements, default or suboptimal values, and other stuff that can be safely removed or converted without impacting rendering.
You can install svgo-ll globally through npm. Alternatively, drop the global flag (-g
) to use it in your Node.js project.
# npm
npm install -g svgo-ll
To process a single file with the default settings for svgo-ll version 5:
svgo-ll -i one.svg -o one.min.svg
To process a single file with the latest settings (which will become the defaults for svgo-ll version 6):
svgo-ll --preset next -i one.svg -o one.min.svg
For more detailed options, see the command line option documentation or FAQ.
