What is SVG Metadata?
SVG is an XML-based vector format, so its metadata is stored as plain markup: the <title> and <desc> elements, and a <metadata> block that usually holds Dublin Core or RDF data. Editors such as Inkscape or Adobe Illustrator also write their own tags, which can reveal the author, the licence and the version of the software used.

FAQ
What metadata does an SVG file contain?
Usually a title, a description, the canvas dimensions and a metadata block with Dublin Core fields. Files exported from a graphics editor also carry the editor name and version.
Do SVG files contain EXIF or GPS data?
No. EXIF is a photo format standard, so SVG files have no camera settings or GPS coordinates. Author and licence information can still be present.
Can an SVG file reveal who created it?
Yes. Editors frequently store the author name, the licence and the creation date inside the metadata block.
How do I remove metadata from an SVG?
Delete the <metadata>, <title> and <desc> elements in a text editor, or export the file with the “optimized SVG” option in your graphics application.
Does Metadata Finder save my files?
No. Files are read directly in your browser and are never sent to a server.
