The “Export As” Methodįile > Export > Export As… is very different.

Wait, “exported version”? Let’s look at that next. Or if you do save as SVG, you might as well use the “Preserve Illustrator Editing Capabilities” checkbox and use a naming convention that is clear this is an “original” file, not a web-ready one. You may just want to keep files as `.ai` until you want to actually export for the web. It’s not entirely clear to us why “Save As…”ing as SVG would be a good idea. Take a look at the CSS-Tricks logo “Save As…”‘d and one exported for the web.

The file size of “Save As…” saved Illustrator SVG’s can be several orders of magnitude larger than a really web-ready version. But guides are meaningless in SVG on the web, so you’d be sending useless data if you use SVG saved this way directly on the web. You won’t lose your guides saving as SVG this way, they are preserved just fine. When you “Save As…” from Illustrator as SVG, Illustrators primary concern is that you can open that file again in Illustrator just as you left it.įor example, Illustrator has proprietary features that aren’t a part of SVG. Saving as SVG from Illustrator is fine, but the file is absolutely not ready for direct use on the web. If you search the web a bit about the differences between saving in different formats from Illustrator, you’ll find plenty of generic information telling you that SVG is for use on THE WORLD WIDE WEB, so if that’s where you intend to use this graphic, that’s the format you should save in.īe careful here.

There is even a button in the Save SVG options that come up called “SVG Code…” you can click to have Illustrator show you the code before saving it, presumably for copy-and-paste purposes. You can File > Save As… and choose “SVG” as an option, as an alternative to the default `.ai` file format. Illustrator supports SVG as a first-class file format. TL DR: Exporting, like File > Export > Export As… SVG then optimizing is your best bet for the web. There are several different ways of getting SVG out of Illustrator, each one a bit different. Or for literally any reason at all, you have a file open in Adobe Illustrator that you ultimately want to use on the web as SVG. Or you’ve used Illustrator to finesse some existing graphics. In the next article, we will try to integrate Inkscape and Photoshop by importing Inkscape images directly to Photoshop as a smart object.Let’s say you created a lovely vector illustration in Adobe Illustrator. Maybe in the future, the Inkscape compatibility will be better, as Photopea is constantly developed. Due to The Fact That even Photoshop can’t do this. Photopea is so cool and very helpful with the conversion. I’d say It’s not bad at all and I’m impressed. So that was a glimpse of Inkscape to Photopea compatibility. In Photoshop, you may still need to do some adjustment (for example missing fonts issue)

After that, don’t forget to open the document in Photoshop.

If the conversion result goes well, rename layers and fix document size.

Then open the document on Photopea again.

If we found something that doesn’t work, go back to Inkscape and fix the issue, by simplifying our design or removing the unsupported part.

Then check if anything has changed and if there’s a compatibility issue.

Either you need to simplify your Inkscape design or edit the PSD output. So with this limitation, you need to do some adjustment when converting Inkscape format to Photoshop. So although the document can be opened in Photopea, You have to make sure that generated Photopea PSD can be opened in Photoshop too. The error is not informative at all, and I haven’t got a chance to investigate what might be causing it, but most likely happens when we use complex SVG features. Sometimes the PSD output from Photopea can’t be opened in Photoshop. We only tried Powerstroke and Envelope deformation. Works for linear & radial gradient, fill and stroke. Works, but the name changed to generic naming like layer1, layer2, layer3, etc. Clones are created as independent separated objects Works, but blur radius doesn’t seem editable, and has issue when the document is resized. Works for solid fill & stroke (sometime has line width issue) Ok lets summarize it as table for quick reference Path/shape
