MacSVGO

A minimal macOS desktop app for batch SVG optimization. Drop files or pick a folder — optimized SVGs are saved to a /optimized subfolder.

How it works

• Drag and drop SVG files onto the window — you'll be prompted to choose a save location
• Choose Folder — scans the selected folder for .svg files and optimizes them in place (into a /optimized subfolder)
• Results show original vs optimized size and total savings percentage

Settings

Click the gear icon to open the settings panel with full control over the optimization pipeline.

General:

• Multipass — run plugins multiple times for better results
• Number precision (0-8) — decimal precision for numeric values
• Transform precision (0-8) — decimal precision for transform values

Features (40 toggles):

• Remove doctype, XML instructions, comments, metadata, editor data
• Clean up attribute whitespace, IDs, numeric values
• Merge/inline/minify styles, convert style to attributes
• Remove unknowns & defaults, unneeded group attrs, useless stroke & fill
• Remove hidden elements, empty text, empty attrs, empty containers
