SlimVG
SVGs were never meant to carry this much emotional baggage.
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.
