# SVG compression

Cloudimage offers automatic optimization of Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) files which can reduce the file size by up to 80% without visual appearance deterioration. This is possible since most SVG editors include unnecessary information which can be omitted. Moreover, most shapes in SVG files can be simplified.
