The force off AA solution didn’t work for SVG but selecting the SVG Export preset  'SVG flatten' actually worked for exporting to SVG with no bleed through and no changes made to original file.

Hi, there is some confusion,but i’ll try to order it if I can.

1) when you want to export as png or jpg from within affinity you force AA off.This will get rid of the white lines,both in the viewport and export.

2)export to svg with “flatten transforms” enabled will give you an SVG-VECTOR with white linesin viewport,but on export to png or jpeg these will be gone.

3)export to svg with “flatten” enabled will give you an image-not a vector without white lines.(basically the same as solution 1 but with white lines in viewport.

4)WOSVEN solution,which i havent tried myself,but i will do now.

I could be wrong too,just correct me

Wosven will have to explain herself,since i don’t really get it,nor do i need more than solution 1,2 or3.

Original file: face.svg

The first trick, is:

• to group the squares,
• duplicate the group,
• add a blur effect on the group,
• add a new Rectangle,
• drop the group with effect in this rectangle to avoid blur out of the area

Result, a code with lot of extra group: face_blured_2.svg

The second trick, is:

• to group the squares,
• duplicate the group,
• add a blur effect on the group (for example 2px),
• add a new Layer at the bottom,
• drop the group with effect in this Layer,
• clip a rectangle to this Layer to avoid blur out of the area

Result, a cleaner SVG code (no extra groups): face_blured_3.svg

 

The third trick, is:

• opening the SVG in a text editor (and use regular expressions in the text editor or in APub once the text is pasted in a new document),
• Replace the Style to have a style with fill and stroke using the same color

Example for TextPad 
Replace:
style="fill:(#[a-f0-9]+);"

By:
style="stroke:\1;stroke-width:0.5px;fill:\1;"

Example for Notepad/APub 
Replace:
style="fill:(#[a-f0-9]+);"

By:
style="stroke:$1;stroke-width:0.5px;fill:$1;"

Example, this:

<rect x="-0" y="0" width="200" height="200" style="fill:#32516e;"/>
<rect x="200" y="0" width="200" height="200" style="fill:#365677;"/>
<rect x="400" y="0" width="200" height="200" style="fill:#3a5b7e;"/>
<rect x="600" y="0" width="200" height="200" style="fill:#3d6186;"/>

Should become:

<rect x="-0" y="0" width="200" height="200" style="stroke:#32516e;stroke-width:0.5px;fill:#32516e;"/>
<rect x="200" y="0" width="200" height="200" style="stroke:#365677;stroke-width:0.5px;fill:#365677;"/>
<rect x="400" y="0" width="200" height="200" style="stroke:#3a5b7e;stroke-width:0.5px;fill:#3a5b7e;"/>
<rect x="600" y="0" width="200" height="200" style="stroke:#3d6186;stroke-width:0.5px;fill:#3d6186;"/>

0.5px or 1px, 2px, etc. depending of the size of the drawing.

face_stroke_1px.svg   face_stroke_2px.svg

 

And the AD file:

face.afdesign

Hi Affinity user base

This solve is a sticky prob, I've been using Coreldraw since 1999 and they still don't seem to have solved the problem themselves.

All that's needed is a toggle for contiguous outline visibility. But for now, Affinity users can simply duplicate the objects twice and the lines go away.

The toggle idea is easy peasy but revolutionary. Why haven't software giants caught on?

I can’t see anything making that this workaround superior to those given before.

Try to sell it or build you own software company to find out.
