Convert SVG strokes to fills


Recommended Posts

Prior to exporting you can use Layer > Expand Stroke (main menu at the top of the affinity app)

it doesnt work for me, i need to make a font on icomoon

Make sure you select all the individual layers with an SVG. If your SVG has many layers, it won't work selecting the parent. You have to select all the child layers of the SVG, expand stroke and then I typical merge all layers together. I hope this helps.

Does it do something unexpected, or does it do nothing at all? Can you share an SVG file that demonstrates the problem?

Thanks for the file. The problem is that it’s constructed as a layer comprising several nested groups, and you can’t apply the ‘Expand Stroke’ command to a group.

Go to the Layers panel, expand the layer tree to expose the three ‘Curve’ layers/objects and then apply the ‘Expand Stroke’ command to those three items.
