FAQ

Quick answers

What does remove Inkscape namespaces from SVG delete?
xmlns:inkscape and attributes/elements prefixed inkscape:. Visible paths and fills stay.
Will sodipodi attributes survive an Inkscape namespace pass?
Yes. Inkscape and sodipodi ship together but this page only targets inkscape. Use Remove sodipodi attributes next.
Is this the same as Clean Illustrator SVG?
No. Illustrator cleanup also hits Adobe i:* and metadata. This page is Inkscape-namespace-only.
Do I need Inkscape namespaces for the file to open in Inkscape again?
No. Inkscape reopens standard SVG. The prefixes are editor leftovers.
