stonebranch··on Svgsus – Organize, clean and transform your SVGs
There is currently no way handle multiple icons at the same time. I mean you could still make a copy of each icon by just dragging them to a new folder in finder. We have multi-selection handling in our roadmap. Follow us on @svgsus on twitter and I'll make sure to ping you once we implemented it.

That’s the idea, to bring this cross platform as soon as we have a tool people like. But we do need to use some special tricks, more than Electron provides, to manage the macOS clipboard. I’d expect that we need to do similar tricks when we port it to Windows and Linux. That said, macOS seemed like a good starting platform as it it what we use ourselves.

You may use it as a library, I know users who do. But you may select output needed, or drag 'n drop depending on if you work as an developer or a designer.

I suggest that you look on the videos on the site or read some tips and tricks at https://medium.com/@DepartmentStockholm/svgsus-tips-tricks-b...

Svgs usually contain a lot of redundant and useless information. We clean the svgs using SVGO, https://github.com/svg/svgo (and a few of our own plugins) to get more beautiful svg files. The output often gets bloated by apps like Sketch, this way we end up with a better output.
