What it says on the tin. Been curious about why this is injected into SVG exports.

Just wanted to bump this!


I am once again asking for a genius on the Figma team to provide insight to me, a lowly user.


Hey Gavin!


Some of the things we do in our SVG exporter are meant to address discrepancies between different SVG renderers. Try opening this Codepen (where I exported a drop shadow from Figma and then commented out the BackgroundImageFix + blend) in both Chrome + Firefox (works fine) and then in Safari (where, at the time of this writing, that node isnโ€™t drawn at all). (A comment in the Figma codebase implies that when this was first written 6 years ago, Firefox also had the same bug.)


Hey Lauren!


Thank you so much for your message and the example - sad that svg has so much cross-browser inconsistency in 2023 but here we are. Also, Iโ€™m a huge fan of the import upgrades you and your team made last year!
