SVGO is a Node.js library and command-line application for optimizing SVG files by removing redundant metadata, comments, hidden elements, and suboptimal values without affecting rendering. It features a configurable plugin architecture and integrates with tools like webpack, PostCSS, and Docusaurus.

Use cases

• minify svg files for faster web page loads
• remove editor metadata from exported svgs
• batch optimize a folder of svg icons
• configure svg optimization plugins in a build pipeline
• convert svg files to base64 data uris

When to choose

• you need to reduce svg file sizes in a Node.js or web build workflow
• you want a battle-tested, widely integrated svg optimizer with a plugin system
• you prefer a CLI tool with recursive folder processing and config files

When to avoid

• you need to optimize raster images like PNG or JPEG
• you require lossy or visual-quality-altering image compression
• you work outside the JavaScript/Node.js ecosystem and need a native binary
