Illustrator 2024 & SVG Formats

In Illustrator 2024 (28.6 through 28.7.1), Adobe experimented with changing the format of exported SVG files. With the release of Illustrator 2025, the format will revert back.

The permanent format is called Data-Name, and the temporary format is called x2F.

As of September 2024 the current version of Illustrator uses the temporary x2F format.

In Svija Cloud, navigate to ComponentsCloud Component and:

You must do this for both the mobile and computer versions of the component.
