Parin Posted May 6, 2021 Posted May 6, 2021 I want to export three logos as SVGs (as seen below). They have gradients on them, but when I export them, the gradients do not get exported. I'm getting frustrated with it, so could someone please help me with this? I'm also a noob when it comes to Affinity Designer and/or Adobe Illustrator, so could you please keep the explanations to layman terms as best as possible? Thanks Quote
GarryP Posted May 6, 2021 Posted May 6, 2021 Welcome to the forums @Parin It’s difficult to diagnose a transitional problem if we only have the ‘before’ without the ‘after’. Can you let us see what you get after the export? Quote
PixelPest Posted May 6, 2021 Posted May 6, 2021 Maybe compare with this quick hack which exports well to SVG: Vcard.afdesign Quote

I'd make sure not to have any transparencies in the gradient - though it should work in SVG but probably not in PDF if you're going to a print shop. It's all in the file - nothing hidden or magic wands used. Quote

I just converted my text to curves and the export with the gradient exports perfectly fine now. Thanks Quote
PixelPest Posted May 6, 2021 Posted May 6, 2021 If you want to keep the text editable you can check that particular feature in the SVG exporter "convert text to curve" or something in that line. Quote
