## What it is
svgcleaner is a Rust command-line tool that losslessly cleans and optimizes SVG files by removing unnecessary data such as editor metadata, unused elements, and non-optimal structure. It is designed for correctness, high cleaning ratio, and fast processing (~1ms per file), and is portable as a single executable.

## Use cases
- optimize svg files before publishing
- reduce size of svg icons exported from vector editors
- clean up svg files without breaking rendering
- batch-shrink an icon theme's svg assets
- lossless svg minifier alternative to svgo

## When to choose
- you need strictly lossless SVG optimization by default
- you want a fast, dependency-free single executable
- you need higher cleaning ratios than svgo or scour
- you process SVG files one at a time in a pipeline

## When to avoid
- you need SVGZ or batch directory processing
- you want a GUI or many configurable options
- you need actively developed software with recent releases
- you require destructive/aggressive optimization options out of the box
