I have read a lot of various posts, help articles, and performed INternet searched but I cannot figure this out. Problem: I have created artwork and I want to export it to an SVG. But when opened both in a browser and in Illustrator the image has shifted a lot. I have tried all combinations of export options and it does not fix it. I uploaded both a PNG to see how it shoud be and the SVG result. Advise please?

Hello @Syeds,

 

Sorry to hear about this experience. I would request you to share a few more details like:

  • The exact version of the OS and Illustrator
  • Since when are you facing this problem?
  • Is it acting this way with just this file? Would it be possible for you to share the download link to the Ai file here or via DM so we can check on our end?

 

Also, you may try using the option for Save As SVG instead of Export and share your observations with us. Additionally, try ungrouping the objects and trying to export as an SVG.

 

Looking forward to your response.

 

Thanks,

Anubhav

Did you also try and input a higher Decimals value?

Yes I went up to 4. How high should I go?

More than 5 is not possible in Export for screens and won't make any change in Save as

Your only chance is to enlarge the objects (and the file dimensions) if 5 is not sufficient

    getting an issue when using exporting SVG options

     

    Not sure why my reply to this is not showing up. I fixed it by doing a "Save as a copy" There are so many options to export/save it is sometimes frustrating getting the right combination.
