Scour

PyPI Build status Codecov


Scour is a Python tool that takes an SVG file and produces a cleaner and more concise file. It is intended to be used after exporting to SVG with a GUI editor, such as Inkscape or Adobe Illustrator.

Scour is open-source and licensed under Apache License 2.0.

Scour was originally developed by Jeff "codedread" Schiller and Louis Simard in in 2010. The project moved to GitLab in 2013 an is now maintained by Tobias "oberstet" Oberstein and Eduard "Ede_123" Braun.

Installation

Scour requires Python 2.7 or 3.3+. Further, for installation, pip should be used.

To install the latest release of Scour from PyPI:

pip install scour

To install the latest trunk version (which might be broken!) from GitHub:

pip install https://github.com/codedread/scour/archive/master.zip

Usage

Standard:

scour -i input.svg -o output.svg

Better (for older versions of Internet Explorer):

scour -i input.svg -o output.svg --enable-viewboxing

Maximum scrubbing:

scour -i input.svg -o output.svg --enable-viewboxing --enable-id-stripping \
  --enable-comment-stripping --shorten-ids --indent=none

Maximum scrubbing and a compressed SVGZ file:

scour -i input.svg -o output.svgz --enable-viewboxing --enable-id-stripping \
  --enable-comment-stripping --shorten-ids --indent=none
