: Sketch: Text on Path not preserved when exported to SVG I am creating a vectorized version of my school's logo because we currently only have a low-res bitmap version. The logo includes text

I am creating a vectorized version of my school's logo because we currently only have a low-res bitmap version. The logo includes text on a circular path, so I used the Text on Path feature in Sketch to achieve the effect.

The trouble is that when I export it to SVG (my desired format), the Text on Path does not export properly, and the text appears to be just normal lines of text. How can I fix this issue?





Thanks!

Sadly, not every SVG renderer supports text on paths, even though they are part of the SVG spec.

So I would recommend creating two files: one "original" file with the text on the path, and another with the text converted to a path or outline or whatever. Then export the second one to whatever other formats you need, like JPEG or PNG.

I haven't used Sketch, but it may just be that your logo and/or text needs to be converted from an object to a path, as is the case because png formats for example can't handle unless you do a conversion to a path first.
