Editing SVG files in Storyline
Are you able to change the color of SVG graphics in Storyline, like you can if you insert icons from the library within Storyline?
Hi MEJohnson,
That’s a great question, happy to chime in here.
A quick note on how this behaves, SVGs imported into Storyline don’t work quite the same way as icons from the Content Library. Those built-in icons are already optimized to be fully editable, including color changes directly in Storyline.
With SVGs from external tools like Illustrator, you can insert them as-is, but to edit things like colors, you’ll first need to ungroup them so they convert into shapes. After that, you can adjust fills and outlines just like other objects in Storyline.
One thing to keep in mind is that once an SVG is converted this way, it’s no longer linked to the original file, so any future edits would need to be done manually or by reimporting an updated version.
