Etsy SVG Optimizer
Shrink an SVG for a listing without changing how it looks, and check it will open in a buyer’s cutting software.
Works with: any browser
Drop several files at once to convert the whole folder in one pass. Got a different format? A PNG, JPG, HEIC, PDF, SVG or DXF still comes out as SVG.
Or paste SVG code
× removes a colour and its shapes; click a swatch to change it. Every format follows.

Batch
Every file is traced on its own at its own resolution, with the settings in the panel. A file converted here comes out identical to the same file converted by itself.

Machine output
Height follows the source aspect ratio.
Laser and Router follow the traced outlines. Engrave photo burns the picture itself, line by line, for photos and portraits.
Heat transfer vinyl is pressed face down, so it has to be cut mirrored. The second box is the overcut in millimetres: a drag knife starts each shape pointing the wrong way, and running past the start covers that stretch properly so the piece weeds out clean.
Beam or bit width. Left at zero the tool runs down the centre of the line, so a part finishes one tool width undersize. Set it and the path is offset by half, with holes offset the opposite way.
Holes before the part that holds them, so nothing comes loose while there is still cutting to do. Also shortens the travel between cuts.
See it on your product
Put this artwork on a 3D mug, tumbler, sign, phone case or canvas, turn it all the way round, or drop it onto a photograph of your own blank. The preview page has the product picker, the colours and the placement controls.

Why it matters
Lossless by default
Vector optimisation only rounds coordinates and strips editor metadata. The geometry is unchanged unless you lower the precision yourself.
Real reductions
Redundant closing segments, editor namespaces, comments and over-precise coordinates typically account for a third to a half of an exported SVG.
Transparency handled properly
JPEG has no alpha channel. We fill white behind transparent areas rather than letting them encode as black.
See what changed
Before and after byte counts, and the optimised file rendered, so nothing is thrown away silently.
Questions
Will optimising break my SVG?
Editor-specific attributes are removed, so the file may no longer round-trip perfectly into Inkscape or Illustrator with their own state intact. The rendered result is identical.
How much smaller?
Typically 30 to 50 percent for an exported SVG, more if it came out of a design tool with metadata attached.
Does it change my colours?
No. Colour values are left exactly as they are.
