Juc1 Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 Hi all I am exporting an SVG file for use on a website. The SVG file includes a png image so I want to reference this file with its file path but when I export to SVG the png file gets mangled into <image width="1200px" height="1600px" xlink:href="data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAABLAAAAZAC..."> How can I save it with a file path (which I will update to my website) such as <image width="1200px" height="1600px" xlink:href="/files/images/myfile.png"/> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David in Яuislip Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 Can't be done, even if you place an image file as linked rather than embedded, svg export will embed the image as base64 data as you've found. Use a text editor to put it right. I'm amazed that you have width="1200px" height="1600px", in V1 I get width="100%" height="100%" Quote Microsoft Windows 11 Home, Intel i7-1360P 2.20 GHz, 32 GB RAM, 1TB SSD, Intel Iris Xe Affinity Photo - 24/05/20, Affinity Publisher - 06/12/20, KTM Superduke - 27/09/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
v_kyr Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 Well ADe can't do it, but you can of course setup the SVG file code manually via some text editor instead. See therefor ...
