removeEditorsNSData

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.
