Affinity Designer SVG: import and export

Affinity Designer 2 documents both SVG import and SVG export. Check the exported geometry in the software that will use it.

This reference describes the Designer 2 documentation. Its file-format table includes SVG, PDF and common raster formats. Do not infer identical behavior in a different Affinity product or release.
