Hallo! I need help. I am not a pro, so it is hard to understand it. I have a vector, but when I save it to svg, it looses outline stroke, I have no idea how to fix it, and I really need it with the strokes. Can anybody help me?

 

Best regads.

Hi, Irina, when I opened your file on Ai, the strokes were appearing just fine, they were really small (0,25 pt). One tip that might help you would be selecting the stroke, go to the Select menu > Same > Stroke (you can choose Stroke Weight or Stroke Color..) and then set a standard size for it. 

 

Another tip is that if you are having some incosistencies with the exports, make a duplicate of the file (this way you'll always have a live version with the strokes), and then set the standard stroke weigth, then expand those strokes, this will help you to keep it consistent, but keep in mind that they wont be strokes anymore, they will be regular shapes. 

 

This is just an extra tip, but when I opened your file, the typeface was not embbeded so just make sure if you're sending this to print you outline the text 😉

 

Hope it helps you!

Thank you so much, the strokes where actually too small and the .ai was corrupted. I created a new .ai and applied your info on the strokes, they look good now. You're amazing 😄
