To speed up Canvas publishing and reduce output file size, a new optimization is in place when Export as: Texture is selected in Publish settings. The optimization selectively converts complex vector shapes to bitmaps and retains simple shapes as vector. Also, the optimization ensures that runtime performance remains uninterrupted.
