Remove Editor Namespace Data

Default

Removes all XML namespaces, elements, and attributes associated with popular vector editing software.

This plugin is completely safe to use before redistributing your SVG or incorporating it into a larger document.

The kinds of elements that are removed are usually editor specific workspace settings. You should keep a backup of your original SVG to preserve that meta-data and continue to maintain your SVG, while you serve the optimized version to users.

You can find a list of removed editor namespaces in _collections.js, which includes software like Inkscape, Adobe Illustator, and Figma.

Usage

Basic

svgo.config.js

module.exports = {
  plugins: [
    "removeEditorsNSData"
  ]
}

Parameters

svgo.config.js

module.exports = {
  plugins: [
    {
      name: "removeEditorsNSData",
      params: {
        additionalNamespaces: []
      }
    }
  ]
}

Parameters

additionalNamespaces

If you want to remove additional XML namespaces, you can provide them in a list.
