![]() ![]() If the status bar says it removed some defs, repeat until it does nothing. I will pursue the PDF problem maybe in another thread after I have a play around with it more.Īlthough it's unlikely to help in this specific case, here are some tips that we've found to reduce file size while we've been creating The Greys:ġ) Vacuum Defs. But it looks like my problem is associated with the PDF output and the size that is produced.Īgain thanks for the help - I did learn more about SVG's through your suggestions. Looking back at what I wrote, I've learned a bit about reducing SVG file sizes. (26kb)ġ x keypad SVG - which has 8 buttons with blurs on it.(89kb) There is a total of 4 of them in the page.ġ x LCD interface SVG - which has 6 of the buttons I mentioned above on it but no blurs. Suspecting a rat in the file I went for the SVG's. I then just put into PDF one page and it came out to around 380kb which seemed way to large for SVG's and a small amount of text. What led to all this was a large PDF document (in size). I will have to follow up with the blurs - I did duplicate buttons ( the blur on it is to simulate a LED light on it). ![]() So I was not able to access whether it would reduce the size. Seems large for 1 item.Īnyhow, I tried to use "Optimized SVG" ( which i never even noticed before when saving) and all that happened was the python dos box popped up and sat there for 10 minutes doing nothing. To continue experimenting with files I created a new document with just a black box in it = 4kb. Out of curiosity I took out the gradient and reduced it further to 2kb.(as an experiment). I'm in the process of making buttons for a mockup LCD interface (for a synthesizer) and have been creating and assembling the SVG's into the final interface.įor instance, the buttons are 1 box with a gradient in them. Vacuum Defs reduces the sizes quite a bit. I'm starting to make some head way into the problem. But I'm not sure if Vacuum Defs reduces the file size.I assume it does, but I don't really know for sure. This deletes a lot of info in the data file that you might have used while creating your image, changing your mind on colors, trying different gradients, etc., but that aren't used in the final image. After you finish your image, and before you Export Bitmap (or export whatever), do File menu > Vacuum Defs. This produces PNG version of your image, and as far as I know, PNG is the smallest file format available.Īll that said, there's one more thing I could mention. Especially if you're going eventually to PDF, because after you finish your image, you can File menu > Export Bitmap. I guess most people are more concerned with getting their image to look how they want, despite file size. For me, I'm not sure why you would want to change the way you create an image in Inkscape, just to reduce the file size. But I'm sure someone else will be along before too long with a better answer. It's not a file size issue.īeyond that, I'm not sure if I can answer your question. No, this is because the SVG to PDF conversion process isn't very good as far as blurs. I notice in some of the PDF's I have done with SVG's the blurs are totally gone.
