Graphics copied from Illustrator 25.3 are inserted in Figma as raster images instead of vector

[Loïc Dekeyser]

As soon as I copy and paste a vector shape it is automatically converted to an image in figma

[Loïc Dekeyser]

It doesn't work since 25.1. But 25.0 works, how is it done?

Loïc,

You could paste in Figma as vector before AI version 25.1, but since AI version 25.1 you get a raster image instead in Figma.

Is that correct?

[Loïc Dekeyser]

yes thats true

[Jacob Bugge]

Loïc,

My guess is that the issue is with Figma, probably lack of compatibility with the latest AI versions.

If that is the case, I am afraid the solution is to ask for an update of Figma, over at www.figma.com.

In the meantime, What happens if you downsave to an earlier AI version than 25.1 and then copy from that?

[Loïc Dekeyser]

yes, that's what I did

[Jacob Bugge]

Loïc,

Have you asked for a Figma update over there?

[Loïc Dekeyser]

not yet

[Jacob Bugge]

I hope you will share your findings, Loïc; whenever there are any.

Please tell us step by step what exactly you are doing and what exactly is happening.

[Loïc Dekeyser]

when I copy and paste from illustrator to figma, it transforms my vectors into images

[Monika Gause]

And did this ever work as you wanted?

[Loïc Dekeyser]

no! I want to keep the vectors
