Preview
Clean SVG code before it goes into a project
SVG is code. A file copied from an export tool, icon pack, or unknown source can contain scripts, event handlers, external links, or markup your app does not need. Cleaning it makes the file easier to review and safer to paste into a project.
Use this SVG cleaner when you need to remove script from SVG files, strip unsafe attributes such as onclick, or prepare SVG markup before using it in a website or React component. The cleaner keeps a conservative set of SVG tags and attributes so the output stays readable.

What stays
Common shapes, paths, text, gradients, fills, strokes, masks, clip paths, viewBox, accessibility labels, and basic typography attributes are kept when they are safe.
What to review
Review animation, complex filters, custom CSS, external images, and SVG from untrusted uploads. A browser cleaner is a helpful pass, not a full upload security policy.
Example SVG cleanup workflow
- Paste the SVG or load a file from an icon pack, design export, or vendor asset.
- Run the cleaner and check the preview before copying the output.
- Use the cleaned SVG in HTML, send it to the SVG to React converter, or compress it with the SVG minifier.
Need a review list before you ship the file? Use the SVG cleanup checklist. If the SVG carries meaning in a button or interface, check its name and ARIA references with the SVG accessibility checker.
Common questions
Does the SVG cleaner upload my file?
No. The cleaner runs in the browser. Your pasted SVG is not sent to a server for cleaning.
Can this SVG cleaner remove script from SVG files?
It removes scripts, event attributes such as onclick, unsafe links, unsupported tags, and other markup that can cause security or rendering problems.
Can I use the cleaned SVG in React?
Yes. Clean the SVG first, then use the SVG to React tool to convert common SVG attributes into JSX-friendly names.
Is cleaning enough for user-uploaded SVG files?
No. Treat user-uploaded SVG as untrusted content. Use server-side validation, strict storage rules, and safe rendering policies for production upload flows.
