Exporting as SVG
Precision
Higher precision values tend to enlarge exported SVG file size, while lower precision values will have smaller SVG file sizes. The default value of 2 decimal precision will work for most cases, while offering good file sizes.
Remove CDATA
Remove CDATA only when you wanted to format your SVG with your own formatting, otherwise leave this option unchecked.
Compress SVG
Compress SVG uses Nano's compression engine to drastically reduce file size and embed fonts into your SVG, to ensure they display correctly no matter where they are embedded. But the compression will remove any custom data in the drawings.
Compressing your SVG can result in up to 80% bandwidth savings, and is most suitable for embedding in websites.
