Does this change the shapes/paths inside the SVG?

No — only the viewBox (and width/height, if they were a fixed pixel size) is recalculated. Every path, shape and style is left exactly as-is.

What counts as "excess" to crop?

Any empty margin around the visible artwork — the tool computes the bounding box of everything actually rendered and sets the viewBox to match, with optional extra padding.

Will this work on any SVG file?

Most hand-authored or exported SVGs, yes. An SVG with no visible content (empty file, or everything inside a hidden/`display:none` element) has nothing to crop to and will show an error.

Does this tool upload my file anywhere?

No — the SVG is parsed and measured entirely in your browser (in a sandboxed, script-disabled frame); the file never leaves your device.

Crop SVG to Content

Trim excess margin from an SVG file by recalculating its viewBox to fit the actual artwork.

How it works

1
Choose an SVG file

Pick an .svg file from your device (up to 5 MB).
2
Content bounding box is measured

The tool finds the tightest box around everything actually drawn, ignoring empty margin.
3
Download the cropped file

Same shapes and paths, just a tighter viewBox — nothing is rasterized.
