What does the SVG optimizer remove?

It removes XML comments, the XML declaration, empty elements, unnecessary whitespace between tags, metadata and title elements, and common editor-inserted attributes like inkscape: and sodipodi: namespaced attributes.

Will the optimized SVG look different?

No. The optimizer only removes data that has no visual effect. It does not simplify paths or change coordinates, so the rendered output looks identical.

Is my SVG uploaded anywhere?

No. All processing is done in your browser using JavaScript string manipulation. Your SVG content never leaves your device.
