This extension is available on:
SVG Gobbler is a browser extension that finds the SVG content in your current tab and lets you optimize, download, copy, edit, or export.
base64
or background src
Before making edits you will need to build the extension locally and side load it as a developer extension to test any changes.
The sourcing and processing logic is abstracted into a separate package called
svg-gobbler-scripts
here.
Clone the repo to your local machine and navigate into the root directory.
cd svg-gobbler
SVG Gobbler uses yarn to build the necessary dependencies.
yarn
For development with hot reloading use Vite:
yarn dev
This will build to the dist
folder. To load the extension, open the Extensions Dashboard, enable
"Developer mode", click "Load unpacked", and choose the dist
folder.
When you make changes in src the background script and any content script will reload automatically.
For a majority of the functionality you won't need a server. If you want to make some local fetch
calls related to Node processes in a separate terminal session cd into the server
directory.
cd server
Install the necessary dependencies
yarn
From this directory, compile the server function to the dist
folder.
yarn build
In a separate terminal session serve the function on a local server.
yarn serve
This will startup the server and restart it any time a change is recompiled.
5 versions and 5+ years ago, this started as a pet project to improve the SVG Crowbar tool that is no longer being maintained by NY Times.
This project benefits from some incredibly talented folks.
This extension is open source and doesn't collect any information from users. It's free, and made available because I enjoy making useful things for the web. Please consider contributing with an idea, bug fix, or feature request.
I like making things. Check out what I'm up to lately.
