Who hunted SlimVG?
SlimVG was hunted by Sajal Kumar. A “hunter” on Product Hunt is the community member who submits a product to the platform — uploading the images, the link, and tagging the makers behind it. Hunters typically write the first comment explaining why a product is worth attention, and their followers are notified the moment they post. Around 79% of featured launches on Product Hunt are self-hunted by their makers, but a well-known hunter still acts as a signal of quality to the rest of the community.

Hey everyone 👋
I built SlimVG after repeatedly running into the same problem while working on Android apps: SVGs that looked innocent in design files but turned out to be surprisingly expensive to render.
Some assets contained:
-Massive path definitions
-Excessive gradients and filters
-Embedded raster images hidden inside SVGs
-Hundreds of unnecessary nodes
The result? Larger app sizes, rendering issues, and occasionally performance problems that were difficult to trace back to the asset itself.
Most optimisation tools stop at a single pass. SlimVG takes a slightly different approach:
⚡ Automatically optimises SVGs until the gains become negligible
🔍 Detects heavy paths, gradients, masks, filters, and embedded raster images
💡 Recommends WebP when an asset simply isn't a good candidate for SVG anymore
One thing I learned while building this: some SVGs are really just PNGs wearing a fake moustache.
I'd love feedback from Android, Web, and iOS developers. If you've ever had a painful asset-related bug, I'd be curious to hear about it.
Thanks for checking it out 🙌
