Unable to export to SVG

I have spent the last week trying to get Illustrator to export svg. Totally fine before. Spent 3.5 huors with support team totally wrecking my graphics settings, then having to kick them out and reinstall everything.

 

The export starts, then either looks done or freezes totally. Nothing exports. 

 

I really need svgs as I am a web developer. what on earth is going on? Everything is up to date.

This looks like a file specific issue. Shared file was behaving the same way as you explained in your post. Instead of using Export option, I used Save as a copy to save the file as SVG.  Took some time but got SVG files using this method. You may try this on your end as well. Please download the files from here.

Hope it helps.

I'm on Illustrator v 29.8.1

I'm getting these screens when trying to export SVG files, have done this for over a decade and, all of the sudden nothing is working for the SVG file format, will not save out no matter what I've tried.

And I need each artboard as a separate svg, they aren't much use to me as one giant document. It's not really the point of a logo is it.

What's in your file? Can you upload your file to Dropbox or the like for someone to test?

Sorry @Ana23840758bs0j , mouse slipped. Messages intended for @Anubhav M .


Update, testing 2 files with multiple artboards and basic graphics.

 

File 01 with 100 artboards exported indvidual SVG files as "save as" without issue.
File 02 with 72 artboards exports smaller quatities of artboards using the "save as" method. This was the original file I was having issues with. This work around came from another conversation around a simimlar issue in 2022 from memory.

It all seems a bit hit and miss and a clich in the program (again). It'd be helpful if repeated issues were considered before updates are released.

It would be nice to go back to when "export for screens" would let you export multiple file types for multiple artboards.

 

Is the reoccuring issue coming from the software and/ or updates?
