Scour

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. Development is now maintained by Tobias "oberstet" Oberstein.

This Github repository is the official one. The official website as well as older packages can be found at www.codedread.com/scour.

Installation

Scour requires Python 2.6 or 2.7 (Python 3 currently does NOT work - see here). Further, for installation, use pip:

pip install scour

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
