Gradient Quality Before Update on a 5x Smaller File
Gradient Quality After Update on a 5x Bigger File

Hi all,
I’m experiencing some issues with PDF exports for gradients for nearly a month. I attached some examples for export comparison October 2024/January 2025. No matter how the PDF is exported or the design, the same issue persists. 

There is severe dithering and quality loss, which has never happened before. Is there a solution for this, because I can’t seem to fix it and it’s damaging our work with clients, because we can’t export a single slide from a presentation properly if it’s not all flat colors. 

Would really appreciate some help.

More examples below:

Hey everyone, I’ve got great news! We’ve made improvements to SVG exports. If you're using angular or diamond gradients or applying background blur effects, you can now export or copy those objects as SVGs, and they’ll render properly on the web and beyond. Check out our latest updates in the Figma release notes: https://www.figma.com/release-notes/. Let us know if you're still running into issues!

Thanks Gayani, but for PDF exports the issue remains unfortunately.
