Cannot copy & paste directly from Affinity Photo any more?


Recommended Posts

Hello,

I used to be able to copy and paste an image from Affinity Photo directly into Gmail. I have tried Copy and paste and Copy Flattened. This now pastes loads of SVG code instead of the image itself.

I know the answer might be that this is an issue with Gmail but this USED to work and, in fact, still works with other copy and paste actions in other applications.

Is there anything that can be done to support this again?

Thanks,

Welcome to the Serif Affinity forums.

Possibly, in the period since it last worked, you've changed your Photo Preferences and enabled "Copy items as SVG"? If so, turn it off and see if that helps.
