Exporting SVG with transparency


Recommended Posts

I'm having a pretty major problem with the svg exporting features in affinity.

 

When I set up a simple scene with two objects, each with their own drop shadow, the drop shadows are not rendered transparently,

This is causing heaps of grief, because when I move the objects around, the shadows are just blocky images that look really bad, as shown:

 

Is there some way to force afinity to render the image with a transparent background?

This is really bad when I try to move the objects around on the web with javascript.

 

+1 For svg filters. It would honestly make 90% of these problems go away.

Hi saivan,

Welcome to Affinity Forums :)

This was already improved/fixed in the latest Beta which you can get from here. The shadow will be rendered transparently as you want.

As you discovered we don't support SVG filters. All Affinity layer effects will be rasterised on export.
