    An SVGZ file is simply an SVG compressed with gzip (RFC 1952). That saves space, but many programs, editors and browser workflows expect a plain, uncompressed SVG. This tool unpacks the SVGZ again so you can open, edit or embed the vector directly.

    Unpacking is completely lossless: you get back exactly the vector that was packed in - no detail changes. If the file you drop is already an uncompressed SVG it is passed through unchanged; if the unpacked content does not look like SVG the tool fails honestly instead of producing a broken file.

    Everything happens locally in the browser, nothing is uploaded - even offline. Your graphic never leaves your device, unlike online converters that load your files onto third-party servers.

    On the web, SVGZ is often served directly with the HTTP header Content-Encoding: gzip, so the browser unpacks it unnoticed. Locally, however, many editors and older programs do not recognize the .svgz extension and show only garbled characters instead of the graphic - that is exactly when you unpack it here once into clear, universally readable SVG.

    In 3 steps

    1. Drop or tap your SVGZ file(s).
    2. The tool unpacks the gzip-compressed SVG.
    3. Download the plain SVG (several as a ZIP).

    Limitations: This tool only unpacks gzip-compressed SVGZ files (and passes already-plain SVG through unchanged). It does not rasterise, simplify or alter the vector. Non-SVG content is deliberately rejected.

    FAQ

    What is an SVGZ file?

    An SVGZ is a gzip-compressed SVG. It holds the same vector, just packed to save space.

    Are my files uploaded?

    No, unpacking happens entirely locally in the browser - even offline.

    Do I lose quality?

    No. Unpacking is lossless; the unpacked vector is byte for byte the original SVG.

    How do I get back to SVGZ?

    Compress the SVG with a gzip tool and rename the result to .svgz.

    Can I unpack several files at once?

    Yes. Drop several SVGZ files; with multiple results you get them as a ZIP.
