Hi @srijon_9623,

 

I understand how concerning it can be to open your Illustrator file and find it showing as blank. Let’s work together to solve this issue.

Could you please provide the following details?

1. The version of Illustrator you are using.

2. The operating system (Windows or macOS, along with the version).

3. Since when has this issue been occurring? Did it happen suddenly or after a specific update or action?

Additionally, if possible, could you share the file with us? This will allow us to test it and identify the problem. You can upload it to a cloud storage service and share the link here.

 

In the meantime, here are a few steps you can try:

1. Open in Outline Mode: Press Ctrl/Cmd + Y to switch to Outline mode in Illustrator. If the designs appear in this mode, it might be a display issue.

2. Open the Layers panel (Window > Layers) to confirm if the content exists but is hidden or locked.

3. If you have a backup of the file, try opening it to see if the issue persists.

4. If the file is accessible elsewhere, try saving it as a PDF or IDML to recover the content.

 

Let me know how these steps go and share the requested details so we can assist you further.

 

Best,
Abhishek Rao

Your file has an actual rectangle shape in it. It is NOT the bounding box. Simply delete it:

Where did you save the file?

How large is the file?

 

The file is probably corrupted. So the question is also: do you have a backup? Did something happen when you last saved it? A crash?

Yes, i hope @Abhishek Rao or their colleagues can do it that you said me but what should i do for solve this problem if you need any requirement for solving just tell me. Even @Abhishek Rao wanted the crashed file but i can't give that file because when i go to attach the file click bellow the browse option. The file is upload but don't post. I can't understand that so if i can send the file to you i think it would be great for solve the problem for you.


You need to upload the file somewhere else. Wetransfer, Dropbox, some other cloud service ...

@srijon_9623 have you looked at the 'Layers' panel to make sure the 'layers' aren't hidden?
