### SVGO [![NPM version](https://badge.fury.io/js/svgo.svg)](https://npmjs.org/package/svgo) [![Build Status](https://secure.travis-ci.org/svg/svgo.svg)](https://travis-ci.org/svg/svgo) [![Coverage Status](https://img.shields.io/coveralls/svg/svgo.svg)](https://coveralls.io/r/svg/svgo?branch=master)

**SVG O**ptimizer is a Nodejs-based tool for optimizing SVG vector graphics files. ![](https://mc.yandex.ru/watch/18431326)

### Why?

SVG files, especially those exported from various editors, usually contain a lot of redundant and useless information. This can include editor metadata, comments, hidden elements, default or non-optimal values and other stuff that can be safely removed or converted without affecting the SVG rendering result.

### What it can do

SVGO has a plugin-based architecture, so almost every optimization is a separate plugin.

Today we have:

```

* with files:

  ```
  $ svgo test.svg
  ```

  or:

  ```
  $ svgo *.svg
  ```

  ```
  $ svgo test.svg -o test.min.svg
  ```

  ```
  $ svgo test.svg other.svg third.svg
  ```

  ```
  $ svgo test.svg other.svg third.svg -o test.min.svg -o other.min.svg -o third.min.svg
  ```
* with STDIN / STDOUT:

  ```
  $ cat test.svg | svgo -i - -o - > test.min.svg
  ```
* with folder

  ```
  $ svgo -f ../path/to/folder/with/svg/files
  ```

  or:

  ```
  $ svgo -f ../path/to/folder/with/svg/files -o ../path/to/folder/with/svg/output
  ```

  ```
  $ svgo *.svg -o ../path/to/folder/with/svg/output
  ```
* with strings:

  ```
  $ svgo -s '<svg version="1.1">test</svg>' -o test.min.svg
  ```

  or even with Data URI base64:

  ```
  $ svgo -s 'data:image/svg+xml;base64,...' -o test.min.svg
  ```
* with SVGZ:

  from `.svgz` to `.svg`:

  ```
  $ gunzip -c test.svgz | svgo -i - -o test.min.svg
  ```

  from `.svg` to `.svgz`:

  ```
  $ svgo test.svg -o - | gzip -cfq9 > test.svgz
  ```
