About SVG Path Minifier
The SVG Path Minifier & Coordinate Compressor optimizes vector path `d` strings by stripping whitespace, removing redundant command letters, converting to relative coordinates, collapsing linear segments, and rounding decimal precision.
How to Use SVG Path Minifier
Step 1
Paste your SVG path `d` attribute string or full SVG code.
Step 2
Select coordinate precision rounding level.
Step 3
Click "Minify Path".
Step 4
Review the character savings percentage and copy the compressed output.
Practical Use Cases for SVG Path Minifier
Vector Path Code Size Reduction
Compress large SVG map outlines, font glyph paths, and complex vector illustrations for lightning-fast web downloads.
Optimizing Inline SVGs for React Components
Minify SVG path strings embedded directly inside JavaScript and TypeScript component files to minimize bundle weight.
Input & Output Examples
Minifying Verbose Path String
d="M 10.000, 20.000 L 30.000, 40.000 L 50.000, 60.000 Z"
d="M10 20l20 20 20 20z" (65% path character reduction)
Key Features & Performance
- ✓Compresses coordinates by removing trailing zeros and unnecessary spaces.
- ✓Combines repeated identical commands (e.g. `L 10 20 L 30 40` -> `L10 20 30 40`).
- ✓Auto-converts between absolute and relative coordinates to pick the shortest string representation.
- ✓Configurable decimal precision limiter (1 to 4 decimal places).
- ✓100% Client-Side processing.
- ✓1-Click Copy minified path.
Key Terminology & Definitions
Implicit Repeated Commands
An SVG feature where repeating the same command allows omitting the command letter after the first occurrence (e.g. `L 10 20 30 40`).
Horizontal/Vertical Line Simplification (`H/V`)
Replacing a 2-coordinate line command (`L 50 10`) with a single-coordinate horizontal (`H 50`) or vertical (`V 10`) command.
