I'm trying to save an image as a SVG but it's saving as an html document. I need to upload this image to a tshirt making site - available uploading options are EPS and SVG but because it keeps saving as an html document, it's being rejected from the site. Is there a way to fix this or is this novice unaware that that's just how they save?! ughh!
I tried save as, which saved it as the svg originally but then in my photos file, it was saved as a google html file. I’m not at my computer but I tried to export something like for internet or something like that? What is the correct way to do it so it shows as an actual image?! I even tried png to svg converters online and it wouldn’t work. Is there a way to choose which program besides illustrator or Photoshop opens it? Would that affect what’s happening?
Lol well, I probably AM trying to do something impossible. About two years ago, I had a program on my computer that automatically took my PNG files and made it so I could trace them and save them as EPS files but for the life of me, I can’t remember what it was called! I don’t necessarily need an svg, I could use eps also but for this website, it needs to be one or the other. Again, I’m not near my computer right now to show you what it’s saying. But if someone could walk be through what I’m SUPPOSED to be doing, that’d be great Because I’m at a stand still.
And you want to print the artwork using which kind of process? Plot it and then have it pressed on a t-shirt?
If so, you will need to autotrace the image first, before you can save as vector artwork. Because that seems what the service is asking for. Both SVG and EPS can contain raster artwork, but probably raster artwork cannot be used for what you want.
You might want to actually talk to those people.
In Illustrator you could use the Image trace function, which is explained here:
