Tomeric Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Vector files exported by AD are at least twice as big as the same file exported by Adobe Illustrator. I've just now exported a logo: 28.108 bytes with AD ("SVG for web"), 15.365 10.663 bytes with AI. (Updated: Smaller file had display errors) Small files sizes are IMHO still important when exporting graphics for the web... Can we expect improvements in this case? fdelaneau 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fdelaneau Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 I must concur, SVG for web file size are rather large and I think that there is room for improvement. I found out that Affinity Designer uses Path almost everywhere even when there is a native SVG alternative. Here is an exemple to illustrate my point : a rectangle with rounded borders (single radius). <!-- Affinity --> <path d="M257.5,63.022c0,-11.038 -8.962,-19.999 -20,-19.999l-175,0c-11.038,0 -20,8.961 -20,19.999l0,175.001c0,11.038 8.962,20 20,20l175,0c11.038,0 20,-8.962 20,-20l0,-175.001Z"/> <!-- Native SVG --> <rect x="43" y="43" width="215" height="215" rx="20" ry="20"/> I know that you are out of luck if the rectangle has not a single radius : then you need to use a path. But even if you only tacle this it would yield a serious optimisation for images using rounded rectangles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
