When exporting (for example) icons from Adobe XD as SVG files, the code contains ID's that are for me unnecessary. When I want to use the SVG files for instance inline in an HTML file, it will give ID duplications. I can get rid of the ID's manually, but I would like to know if there is a way to remove the ID's before exporting from XD?

E.g.:

<clipPath id="a"><clipPath id="c"><g id="b" clip-path="url(#c)"><g clip-path="url(#a)">

When you use more than one svg file, you will have duplications ID's :

<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" width="84" height="84" viewBox="0 0 84 84"><defs><clipPath id="a"><rect width="47.5"
<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" width="84" height="84" viewBox="0 0 84 84"><defs><clipPath id="a"><rect width="47.203"

The export settings I use (tried also the other options, without result):

I could not find this topic on the Adobe XD forums.

  • I don't know about doing this from inside your Adobe software, but there are SVG optimizing tools like Scour that can automatically remove unused ids (--enable-id-stripping). Also, for <clipPath>, IDs are required, otherwise you can't reference and use them on other elements.
