Reducing file size in Inkscape?

[Marinemansf]

I'm trying my hand at creating svg files to upload but even simple 1 layer and 1 color designs are coming in way over the 15kb limit. Any suggestions on how to do this?

Is that an actual vector image or just a bitmap image?
Can you take another picture of your layers shown (bottom right)?

It's also not that simple. There's a lot of elements there.

Good question on the bitmap vs vector image, im not very literate in all of this. I used to be pretty good at making these in GT sport but that was 5 years ago. This is me just importing the jpeg to the program and then saving as an svg file. It then comes in at 160kb

Isn't there a way to simplify all that though?

No. That puts the jpg into the SVG. It does not save it as a vector.

I'll give that a shot, thank you!

I got it to work using what you showed me in combination with using SVGOMG. I had forgotten about that tool. Thank you for your help!
