Jas Sheridan Posted September 15, 2022 Share Posted September 15, 2022 Hi, I'd like to export an SVG - simple one color element - that Canva can then edit the colors. I see instructions for export from Adobe, but the same options do not appear when exporting from Affinity. Is this even possible?

Jas Sheridan Posted September 16, 2022 Author Share Posted September 16, 2022 Thanks for responding but I ddid already read all those threads before posting my question. They indicate to me that it is NOT possible to achieve this in Designer because the export options are not the same as illustrator. However, I asked anyway because I was hoping there was an update in the last year since those posts? Can anyone elaborate any more or even just confirm that my summary is correct.

v_kyr Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 Did you tried it out at all?

Jas Sheridan Posted September 16, 2022 Author Share Posted September 16, 2022 Did I try all of what out? That thread is 5 years old so I would not be expecting to find the solution there really. I did read it however, I cannot test with Illustrator version as I do not have illustrator. I did try removing the [xmlns:serif="http://www.serif.com/"] from my svg but this didn't fix it. I feel like you're telling me the answer is in this thread but I do not see it. Can you be more explicit? thank you again for trying to assist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you be more explicit? It's not just that (xmlns:serif="http://www.serif.com/"), the fill color values shown there are notation wise different, the first file used a hexadecimal notation ("#4e1b44") which seemed to work, and the other one used a decimal notation ("fill:rgb(78,27,68);") which seemed not to work. You can download both in that thread at the beginning shown SVG files (test-aff.svg & test-vctr.svg) and then try out how they behave for you here with Canva. - Further you can try to find some by Ilustrator generated SVG file for Canva and compare it's SVG contents with what Affinity generated here, in order to detect and see possible important differences then!
