About this tool

Indent and align SVG markup into clean, readable XML — or shrink it back down — with adjustable print and indent widths.

The SVG Formatter (Optimizer) restructures raw, compressed, or poorly formatted SVG code into clean, readable, properly indented markup — while also providing optimization options that strip unnecessary metadata, reduce path data precision, and remove editor-specific attributes to produce leaner SVG files for web deployment. It's essential for front-end developers, UI designers, and icon system architects who work with SVG graphics daily.

The formatter applies consistent indentation based on SVG nesting depth, formats attribute ordering logically, and handles SVG-specific elements correctly: paths with their complex d attributes, gradients, patterns, masks, clipPaths, and foreignObject elements. The optimization mode removes Inkscape/Illustrator metadata, unused definitions, comments, and reduces numeric precision in path data — typically achieving 20–60% file size reduction without visual changes.

For icon system pipelines, inline SVG in HTML components, and SVG asset optimization in build processes, this tool provides both human-readable formatting for development and compact output for production. All processing is client-side — your SVG assets never leave your browser.
