Strange Issue: SVGs Showing Black Background on Export in Figma

I'm experiencing the strangest issue… If anyone can help!

I usually work with .SVG images, but today, for the first time, I noticed that all SVGs suddenly have a black background appearing in the design. However, when I use Present or Preview mode, everything looks fine.

But when I export the design as .PNG or .JPG, the black background appears. If I export it as .SVG, it looks normal.

Could the issue be related to my laptop's GPU, the images themselves, or Figma? Where is the problem coming from?

I've tried multiple solutions, but nothing seems to work. Does anyone have a fix for this? 🤔

      I’m having the same issue suddenly.   For me the black background is showing in my figma workspace, but when I present it goes again also.  Did you guys find a fix for this?

        I haven't found a solution yet. I presented the issue to UI/UX designers, but no one knows the fix. I don't know how to contact Figma support.

         

        I use .SVG images downloaded from Canva, and I've been using them for years for high resolution. Everything was fine until two days ago when this bug appeared, and I haven't found a solution for it.
