Convert SVG to SVGZ using C#

SVG is one of the most widely used formats for building websites and print design due to its scalability. In modern applications, optimizing SVG files is crucial for improving performance. One effective method is to convert SVG files to their compressed version, SVGZ. With the Aspose.SVG for .NET API, you can programmatically save SVG files as SVGZ images using just a few lines of code. This powerful C# API enables you to convert SVG to SVGZ quickly and with high quality.


Why Use SVGZ?

SVGZ files are standard SVG documents compressed with GZIP. They maintain full fidelity and scalability of the original SVG while significantly reducing file size – often by 60–80%. All major browsers support SVGZ, which is ideal for efficiently storing or serving graphics over the web.


Save SVG as SVGZ

using Aspose.Svg.Saving;
...

    // Load an SVG document
	SVGDocument document = new SVGDocument("document.svg");

	// Save the document as SVGZ
	document.Save("document.svgz", SVGSaveFormat.SVGZ);



Steps to Save SVG as SVGZ

  1. Load an SVG document using one of the SVGDocument() constructors.
  2. Use the Save(path, saveFormat) method to save the SVG document as an SVGZ file.
