01
Remove empty canvas without changing the vector artwork
Foldout recalculates the SVG bounds around the visible paths, previews the trimmed result, and writes a separately named vector file by default.
Trim SVGSVG
Remove invisible SVG whitespace without redrawing the artwork.
Trim SVG recalculates the vector canvas around the visible artwork and previews the rendered result before it becomes the file you use. Keep the source by default, write a clearly named trimmed copy, and let unsupported SVGs fail safely instead of risking the original.

What it does
Crop an SVG viewBox to its visible vector bounds while preserving the artwork.
Remove empty canvas around visible vector paths.
Preview the rendered result before relying on the new bounds.
Write a separately named trimmed SVG by default.
Require explicit confirmation before replacing a source.
Leave unsupported SVGs untouched when safe trimming is not possible.
Tighten the canvas
Remove invisible whitespace while keeping the vector artwork intact.
Review the source-protection policy, stable output, and actual rendered SVG before using the new bounds.
02
Inspect the finished bounds before using the SVG
The real vector rendering stays visible after trimming, so a smaller viewBox never becomes a blind change to the artwork.
Why it belongs
Why Trim SVG earns a place in the toolbox.
The practical details that make this job faster, clearer, or safer than doing it by hand.
The paths do not need to be rebuilt
Foldout changes the canvas bounds around the visible artwork instead of tracing or flattening the vector design.
The visual result remains inspectable
A real rendering of the trimmed SVG makes clipped artwork or unexpected bounds visible before the file reaches a site or app.
Source protection is the default
The first run creates a -trimmed copy, while overwriting requires a separate, explicit acknowledgement.
How to use it
From opening the tool to saving the result.
- 01
Add the SVG.
- 02
Review the artwork and keep-originals policy.
- 03
Trim the canvas to visible bounds.
- 04
Inspect and reveal the separately named vector result.
Questions
Before you try Trim SVG
Does it rasterize the SVG?
No. It keeps the output as SVG.
