sebduggan Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 I have a fairly simple logo created in Adobe Illustrator, which has a number of letters each created by simple paths of about 10 points each. It opens perfectly in Affinity Designer, but when I export it to SVG it creates a really big file (~260KB). SVG export from Illustrator creates an 8KB file. It seems the problem lies with one layer in the original file ("Text outline" layer in logo.ai). It's a path tracing the outline of the letters (still with about 10 points each) with a centre-aligned stroke applied. But Designer seems to interpolate hundreds of intermediate points when exporting to SVG. Is this something I am doing wrong? Or is there an issue with Designer's SVG export tool? logo.ai Illustrator.svg Affinity Designer.svg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
