Rust version of the SvgCompress tool.
svgc
is a tool for compressing SVG files by removing unnecessary whitespace, comments, metadata and some other data. It also supports optimization with SVGO and compression into SVGZ. The tool helps reduce the file size and clean up SVG files for better performance and preparing for release versions.
Cargo needs to be installed in order to install or build the utility.
(Optional) If you want to use --svgo
option, install SVGO as well.
cargo install svgc
git clone https://github.com/pasabanov/svgc
cd svgc
cargo build --profile release
The built file will be located in the target/release
directory.
To compress SVG files, run the script with the following command:
svgc [options] paths
-h
, --help
Show this help message and exit
-v
, --version
Show the version of the program
-r
, --recursive
Recursively process directories
-f
, --remove-fill
Remove fill="..."
attributes
-o
, --svgo
Use SVGO if it is installed on the system
-z
, --svgz
Compress to .svgz format after optimization
-n
, --no-default
Do not perform default optimizations (if you only want to use SVGO, compress to .svgz, or perform both operations)
-q
, --quiet
Only output error messages, not regular status messages
- Compress a single SVG file:
svgc my-icon.svg
- Compress all SVG files in some directories and files:
svgc my-icons-directory1 my-icon.svg directory2 icon2.svg
- Compress all SVG files in a directory and all subdirectories:
svgc -r my-icons-directory
- Compress an SVG file removing every
fill=...
attribute in it (making it monocolor):svgc -f my-icon.svg
- Compress all SVG files in a directory and all subdirectories, removing
fill
attributes, then optimize with SVGO, then compress to .svgz:svgc -rfoz my-icons-directory
