Why is WIX not accepting any standard SVGs?


The SVG has the ending .svg and is very standard:

Hi Christoph,

Thanks so much for reporting!

There seems to be something “funny” with your file, but in order to be sure I need you to send us the exact file you’re trying to upload. Can you please share the original file somehow?

Thanks!

Hi again Christoph,

It seems the problem is with your file encoding, see the encoding="utf-16" in the beginning of the file.

Files should be encoded using utf-8. So either you export your file from Illustrator as utf-8, or change that 16 to 8 and save the file again using utf-8 encoding.

Then upload it again and it should be fine.

Thanks!
~Y
