How to Optimize SVG Files
SVGO is a command-line tool to optimize SVG files. It’s not the most user-friendly thing, which is where SVGOMG comes in. It’s SVGO’s Missing GUI (graphical user interface).
With SVGOMG you can open existing SVG files (or paste in their code) and you’ll see the variety of different options to optimize the file. You can see a preview of the optimized graphic, as well as a before and after view of the code, so you can see exactly what code is changing.
