P: How to export to SVG from Photoshop?

[TomH07]

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.

Hi  @Mr.Luffy4589 

This feature is removed from Photoshop. Sorry about the interruption in workflow. You can check the following discussion and try the suggestions and workarounds: https://community.adobe.com/t5/photoshop-ecosystem-discussions/p-how-do-i-export-to-svg-from-photosh....

I am using the older 18.0.02 version of animate, but cannot get the .svg export to work.

I have used Animate for illustration work from way back in the Flash days as I have always found the drawing quality really useable. In the old days I always used to be able to export as a .ai file which I could then edit further in illustrator, and I'm sure I have in the past managed to export svg.

The svg option appears but is faded out like it's not available and no file actually saves out. (see screenshot)

It's a real shame if there is no way to export vector artwork like this, as I have never managed to find an alternative program that compares. I need to create some scaleable AW and nothing else works as well for drawing in vectors as Animate!

Any ideas how to get the svg export to work? Maybe I'm missing something obvious?

Would it work in the new version of Animate? I'm running a pretty old laptop and peripherals and don't want to update my operating system if I can avoid it (which I'd have to in order to run the new version)

Adobe should take the vector drawing capability they have here and re-market it. There is nothing else in the vector world (that i've found) that comes close for responsive real-time accurate

drawing that picks up on the sensitivity of your pressure. The fill system is simple and works really well. I've tried lots of alternatives -  illustrator, concepts, inkscape, zeus draw...some like concepts seem good until you realise you can't export the line quality effect - it reverts to a basic vector path line! 

If anyone knows any programs that do work - i'd love to hear about them!

Thanks!

what's the problem?  you need to change svg profiles?

if not, click ok.

if yes, why?

[marthag98524338]

Hi Klad,

When I press OK nothing happens - it doesn't save any file at all.

The SVG1.1 drop down looks faded out - so that doesn't look right.

[kglad]

the faded drop down is expected.

did you check the folder where you saved your svg?  

if yes and there's no svg, create a new folder and save the svg in that new folder.

[marthag98524338]

GREAT! thank you!! I made a new folder on my desktop and it works fine now!! That is really strange - but such a relief. I really am very grateful, what a strange glitch.

Many many thanks

Martha

Greetings,

     I am trying to export a Vector Graphic with Gradients and Transparency from Photoshop.

     I have an illustration that has been done using Shapes in Photoshop, but when I try to export it, I don't see an option for SVG.

     The graphic is intended for use on my website (hosted by Squarespace), and it has Gradients and a Transparent background. If there's another vector format that I could use, please let me know.

     Thanks in advance for your help.

Regards,

Rajnesh

What version of Photoshop. Export As SVG I believe has been removed in the latest version of Photoshop 2021...

Photoshop 2020 will work

[RajneshD]

Thank you, JJMack. I am using Photoshop CC, and I see that they've removed the SVG option.

I wonder whether Adobe did this to shift Exports to the PDF format...

[Jeff Arola]

In photoshop 2021 (22.5.1) you can go to Photoshop>Preferences>Export and check Use Legacy "Export As" to get SVG as an option.

[RajneshD]

Thanks for the reply, Jeff. I'm using Photoshop 22.5.1, and it looks as if the Export Legacy option has been removed. I've attached a Screeshot.

I'll check on the web to see if PDF will support Transparencies and Gradients.

Take care.

[Per Berntsen]

The Legacy Export As option is there in my Windows version of 22.5.1.

It looks like you may have opened an older version by mistake, or that the bottom part of the preferences dialog is off screen.

Its working in new version in photoshop

[Jeff Arola]

Are you using a mac with an M1 Processor?

[RajneshD]

Yes, Jeff, and I just heard from Adobe support that it wasn't yet supported on M1 Macs.
They said to use Photoshop with Rosetta, for now.

They will be fixing this in a future release.

I just downloaded the new version of photoshop and tried to make a .SVG file export and there is no longer a tab for this. Am i missing something or did they do away with it. In the past .SVG files made by photoshop would write the code with a "img" insted of "image" but all i would have to do is open the file with note pad and change the one line of code and it worked great. Could we not update that so they did away with .SVG or am i missing something. I rolled back to 23.4

[Jeff Arola]

Adobe revamped the Export As to better work with the most current operating systems.

You can revert to the old Export As dialog for SVG export as described here under 

Legacy 'Export As'
