How to create an SVG file with Transparent background using Adobe Illustrator?
You can follow the same steps for other types of files you need to export, such as an SVG file. Just make sure you select the correct file under the “Save as” type menu and make sure the Background Color is set to Transparent right before exporting.
transparent is not part of the SVG specification, although many UAs such as Firefox do support it anyway. The SVG way would be to set the stroke to none , or alternatively set the stroke-opacity to 0 . You also don't set any value for fill on the <rect> element and the default is black.
SVG supports animation, transparency, gradients, and is easily scalable without losing quality. PNG is a raster image format used for full-color images (mostly photos) in good quality. It has a rather high compression ratio and supports transparency.
1 Correct answer. If svg: drop it in illustrator, save as illustrator file. select the background ( might need to ungroup or use direct selection tool), delete, save, and place that file back in the layout.
A SVG always have a transparent background as long as you do not insert a rect or something that is filling the whole graphic or using CSS to set a background color for the root element.
If you have another issue, please come up with a basic example SVG to show your problem.
