Got heavy SVG files slowing down your website? No panic — Tiny SVG is a browser-based SVG optimizer that squeezes file size without uploading your artwork to a third-party server. Everything runs locally in your browser, so your files never leave your machine.

Tiny SVG relies on SVGO under the hood and exposes more than 40 configurable plugins. Toggle individual optimizations like metadata removal, path merging, transform simplification, and more. A live preview shows the before-and-after instantly, so you can judge visual fidelity as you compress.

What makes Tiny SVG useful

  • Local, private processing: No uploads — all compression happens in your browser.
  • Fine-grained control: Enable or disable SVGO plugins to match your project needs.
  • Real-time preview & diff: See the optimized SVG and compare code changes side-by-side.
  • Big savings on complex files: While slim logos might only shrink a little (I only saved 0.5% on my already-optimized logo), Tiny SVG can reduce some files by up to 70%, depending on complexity and chosen optimizations.
  • PWA + offline: Built as a Progressive Web App, it works offline and uses Web Workers so the UI never freezes.
  • Open source & self-hostable: The project (by hehehai) is MIT-licensed and available on GitHub — you can deploy your own instance on Vercel, Netlify, or in Docker.

Developers — export ready-to-use code

Tiny SVG doesn’t stop at compression. It can export optimized SVGs as framework-ready components so you don’t have to hand-convert icons:

  • React (JSX / TSX)
  • Vue
  • Svelte
  • React Native
  • Flutter

This is a huge time-saver when you want SVGs embedded directly as components in your frontend stack.

Extra features

  • Transformations: rotate, flip horizontally/vertically, resize.
  • Export options: Data URI (multiple formats), PNG, JPEG with custom dimensions.
  • Diff viewer: inspect exactly which attributes or nodes were removed or rewritten.

When to use it

Use Tiny SVG for icons, logos, illustrations, and any vector asset that will be shipped to the web or embedded in apps. It’s ideal when you want to cut download weight, improve rendering performance, or turn SVGs into production-ready components.

Try it

Curious? Try Tiny SVG and see how much you can trim from your vector assets — especially on larger or cluttered SVG files where the savings can be dramatic.
