Question

Can't export anything but png

As of last week, I suddenly cannot export anything but PNGs. 

 

Example: 
 

 

if you select the icon and try to change the export from png to svg, it reverts to png.

    Hi ​@Dbsneaks ,

     

    I understand you're having trouble exporting anything other than PNGs.

    I duplicated your file and tested exporting the icon, and I was able to successfully export it as an SVG. So far, I haven’t been able to reproduce the issue on my end.

    If you haven’t already, could you try the following quick fixes? These are also listed in our Troubleshooting checklist:

    • Browser: Try force-quitting your current session and opening Figma in a new browser window.

    • Desktop app: Try force-quitting the Figma desktop app and restarting it.

    If the issue persists after trying those steps, here are a few things that would help us narrow it down:

    • Does this happen only in the browser, only in the desktop app, or in both?

    • Is this happening only in the file you shared, or are you seeing it across multiple files?

    If you’re still experiencing the same issue, to allow our team to investigate this further, we’d recommend submitting a report : Submit a bug report

     

    Thanks,

    Thank you so much. 

    I have tried:

    • quitting/restarting my browser (chrome)
    • downloading desktop app and trying there (no luck)
    • downloading in different files (no luck)

    It is so bizarre and it’s definitely blocking my team. :( 

    I have submitted two bug reports b/c i never go an answer from the first one.

     

    :(

    Hello ​@djv - 

    I ended up rebooting my machine and now it is working. Apologies for not doing that along with all of my other troubleshooting. I should have known…

     

     

    Thanks ​@Junko3 as well for your help!
