File Uploads
toggle

Flattens all uploaded SVG images. This gives a better result in terms of what you see is what you get but limits the ability of customers to change the uploaded shape’s colors.

Applies the same effect as Flatten SVGs to other file formats like PDF, Illustrator, CorelDraw files etc. This is a highly recommended option as there are various vector files customers can upload and we can’t guarantee their fidelity across board. Flattening these files upon upload ensures they get exactly what was in the file.
