P: How to export to SVG from Photoshop?

I have a PS file that has text that I converted to a shape, plus another shape. I want to convert that to an SVG file, but, when I use the Explort As dialog, the only export file options are GIF, PNG and JPG. If I do Save As, the only options are Photoshop, Large Document Format, Photoshop PDF, and TIFF.

I searched the help system, there's nothing there that I can find. Did they remove SVG export from Photoshop?? I sure hope not. I have Photoshop 22.4.3.

Please read »Legacy 'Export As'« on this page:

When I was creating SVG logo using photoshop I can convert the object to shape then export as... I can usually select SVG as an option but its gone. I thought maybe it was the layers or something...

I went into preferences and export option and SVG is gone as well. I am using windows and Have the latest version of photoshop 22.5

Am I the only one missing SVG as an export option?

Funny … I can reproduce the issue (Photoshop 22.5.0 on Mac OS 10.15.7), but svg still seems to be listed in the Help:

Export files in Photoshop

Ah, there is a mention of the changes here

They took that away too now with the latest update.

~~Does it work when you choose the new Save a Copy (not Save As)?~~

No. There are a lot of file type options available for Save as a Copy, but none are SVG. It seems to be completely missing from my version for some reason, even though I know I could do it a few months ago.

Hi Dave, this is my layers panel. It's two shape layers and a background.

I've just noticed in your reply to Jane that you said you are using an M1 Mac.

See this help article for known issues and advice on M1 (which includes issues with Exporting SVG)

@TomH07 It's available in File > Export > Export As for me. I tested this with a .psd file with layers and the svg option is still there.

No, I don't have SVG as an option in my Export As dialog, why is it missing?

Totally strange! Maybe try reinstalling, a preferences reset, or rolling back to an earlier version to see if that clears it out!

I can't save SVG anymore (Mac M1).
