SVG Compressor

A small Ruby script for compressing SVGs that contain base64 encoded PNGs

Installation

Use bundler to install dependencies:

bundle install

The node SVGO tool is also a prerequisite:

npm install -g svgo

To run from anywhere, add the script to your shell:

export PATH=$PATH:/path/to/svg-compressor

To recursively convert SVGs in all subdirectories, run:

svg-compressor.rb <quality>

The jpeg compression quality can be set using quality with an integer value of 1-100 (1 being lowest quality and highest compression rate).

The SVG XML itself is then compressed and formatted using an SVGO wrapper.
