Find solutions for issues with files not importing properly into Adobe XD.
Importing files into Adobe XD can fail because of one or more of the following reasons:
Supported file formats
Adobe XD supports the following formats:
- JPG
- GIF
- PNG
- TIFF
- SVG
- BMP
- TXT
If you attempt to drag any other type of file onto the canvas in XD, the file is ignored.
SVG files with unsupported properties
Adobe XD imports SVG files. However, the SVG import does not support the following properties:
- Filters
- Patterns
- Unsupported stroke features: linecap, dasharray
- (Bitmap) mask
- Scale transformations (partially supported)
- Skew transformations
- Switch and foreignObject
- Blend modes
- Gradient transform
- Text-anchor
- Nested svg
If the SVG file you are importing contains one or more of these properties, the file does not import with 100% fidelity.
Large SVG files
The size limit for importing an SVG file into XD is 100 MB. If the file you want to import is larger than 100 MB, consider breaking it into several files and then import them.
If you are still having trouble importing SVG, verify that your SVG code is valid. You can use a validator tool (such as W3C Markup Validation Service) to test your SVG file.
Large images
You can import large images up to 256 megapixels (a maximum square size of 16000 x 16000 pixels).
Vector graphics from CC Libraries
The size limit for placing a vector graphic into XD is 100 MB. If the graphic you want to import is larger than 100 MB, consider breaking it into several graphics and then add them to CC Libraries. If the vector graphic contains an embedded image, ensure that the size of the image is less than 9 MB.
