Ai SVG file ‘invalid’ on OpenSea

[default7db2xydo9xjj]

Trying to make an SVG file in Illustrator be accepted by OpenSea as an NFT.  Any ideas?

[Dan Rodney]

I'm not sure what OpenSea's requirements for an NFT are, but assuming they accept standard SVG files (again I don't know if they do), then be sure to use File > Export > Export As to create the SVG (do not use the older File > Save As).

Thank you Dan,

Will give that a go.  If I hit the wall (again), are there freelancers out there in the Ai world that I could hire to teach me?  Pretty sure there must be.  Just don't know how to go about finding them...

Also, SVG files are text files that contain code. So while the SVG files Illustrator produces are perfectly valid, it's hard to say how OpenSea's SVG interpreter works and what they consider "valid".

Default?  When you figure it out, would you please share here?  I've been bashing my head against this wall for months now...

If your SVG file open in Inkscape and also is valid when you check it in the W3C validator, then there's not a lot we can do for you, because the issue is with Opensea. There should be forums that cover it. Maybe you ask over there.
