Path & Geometry Simplification
Shortens bezier and arc commands, collapses collinear lines, merges consecutive paths sharing fill/stroke, and converts polygons and rectangles into compact path commands.
Free Online SVG Path Optimizer & Vector Compressor
Compress and streamline SVG vector paths, strip Adobe Illustrator & Inkscape bloat, and shrink vector file sizes by up to 80% without losing visual fidelity.
⚡ Up to 80% Size Reduction
🎛️ 35+ Granular Engine Switches
👁️ Split-Diff & Wireframe Inspector
⚛️ Instant React JSX & Data-URI Export
Professional Vector Path Optimization Capabilities
Every vector is unique. Unlike one-click compressors that break delicate shapes, VectorShrink gives you full switch-level control over every optimization step:
Coordinate Precision Control
Adjust decimal rounding from 0 to 8 places. Strip superfluous sub-pixel decimals (e.g., 12.3456789 → 12.35) while preserving pixel-perfect alignment.
Editor Bloat Removal
Cleans Adobe Illustrator CS, Inkscape, Sketch, CorelDraw, and Sodipodi editor tags, obsolete DOCTYPE headers, XML prologs, and unreferenced defs.
Gzip & Brotli Attribute Sorting
Sorts element attributes deterministically to maximize HTTP transfer compression dictionaries, achieving up to 40% additional gzip efficiency.
How SVG Path Optimization Works
- Upload or Paste SVG: Drop your vector graphic file or paste raw XML markup into the studio.
- Select Presets or Configure Switches: Choose between Balanced, Maximum Compression, CAD Precision, or custom toggles.
- Inspect Visual Integrity: Use the interactive split-diff slider or wireframe outline inspector to confirm zero rendering distortion.
- Export Clean Code: Download the compressed SVG or copy directly as a typed React JSX component or CSS Data-URI.

Why SVG Optimization Accelerates Core Web Vitals
Vector graphics are resolution-independent, but oversized SVG files containing thousands of unoptimized path segments create major browser performance bottlenecks:
- Largest Contentful Paint (LCP): Oversized hero SVGs take longer to download and parse over mobile cellular connections.
- Main-Thread CPU Load: The browser DOM engine must construct a document node for every single path, group, and shape element, computing floating-point curve coordinates on every frame.
- Bandwidth Savings: Unnecessary metadata and non-rendering elements often inflate SVG files by 40% to 80%.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does vector optimization alter visual appearance?
No. By default, precision coordinates are preserved with sub-pixel fidelity. You can adjust precision depending on your requirements.
Are my vector files stored on your servers?
Never. All files are processed transiently in memory and instantly wiped. We never store or log your vector designs.
Can I use optimized files in commercial projects?
Yes. You retain 100% intellectual property ownership with full, royalty-free commercial rights.
