On: SVG Viewer – View, edit, and optimize SVGs

[lights0123]

Another web-based SVG tool I use regularly is https://jakearchibald.github.io/svgomg/, an extremely configurable optimizer.

I regularly find myself using https://yqnn.github.io/svg-path-editor/ - I wish Inkscape were that intuitive when handling the innards of <path>s, letting you convert between absolute/relative values and so on

I use the same tool a lot for the exact same reason. Really wish the 'mainstream' desktop SVG editors had this level of control of path data.

Inkscape is open source, file a feature request?

Ah and it shows the grid and snaps to it, this is really great!

I'll add one of my favorite SVG tools... a tool to crop SVGs. Sometimes the SVG has a wide border around it or something funky that makes dealing with centering it difficult. This tool just crops it to the visible elements:

Very handy, thank you. I'm always having to do this manually for icons.

[k4rli → leptons]

Thanks, bookmarked. Have needed this in past but fixed manually.

Does is translate the element or actually redraw it?

[drewbitt → clementmas]

It calculates the minimal bounding box that encompasses all visible elements within the SVG and crops.

I like this one: https://www.softr.io/tools/svg-shape-generator

I'm not really sure what use case this solves.

I use this tool to prepare collections of SVG symbols: https://daveknispel.github.io/svg2use/

You might also find Boxy SVG useful as it has built-in support for symbol-based icon sprites: https://boxy-svg.com/#demo-symbols

Surprised this is being discussed here. It's worth noting that SVGOMG runs SVGO 3.0.0 while the latest version is 3.2.0 (so run SVGO locally for the latest optimizations), but I understand that once https://github.com/svg/svgo/pull/1943 is merged Jake will release an updated version of SVGOMG.

[beardyw → lights0123]

Yes, that is permanently open when I am working with SVGs.

[moritzwarhier → lights0123]

I've had this one in my bookmaeks as well for more than 5 years :)

Worth noting it deems itself "SVGOs missing GUI" (and does a splendid job at that). If one needs to batch process files or sth like that, svgo's CLI is still there.

Props to Jake Archibald!
