Hi all. I have a couple of frames that have placed image in.
I want to export as .svg format.
I can see the image in the preview and on the preview of the .svg. But when I open the .svg in adobe illustrator the image isnt there and just should a blank box…

Any ideas? It worked fine in sketch before.

Hey everyone! I’ve followed up on the support ticket I’ve created for the community member who previously flagged this.

The team recommends as a workaround, to export the design as a PDF instead, which you can then open and resize in Photoshop without the same issues. It might also be worth reaching out to Adobe to see if they have additional insights or suggestions.

That said, if you’re experiencing this and would like our support team to take a closer look at your specific case, feel free to reach out to us directly via this form.

 

We really appreciate your patience and the time you’ve taken to report this!

Same issue, exporting svg from figma, it shows perfectly in chrome or opening it back in figma. However opening it both in photoshop and illustrator shows everything except the included images.
