i've got 3 "sparkle" shapes. When I export the svg the exported one converts the sparkles to cirlces. I've messed with the setting and cannot figure it out. thanks.

3Just a guess here without seeing your Illustrator file- how are the Sparkles constructed ? if they are a circle shape with an effect applied you should object> expand appearance prior to exporting the svg.– KyleCommented Feb 6, 2021 at 18:20

Yes, used pucker & bloat distort & transform effect. I did expand appearance prior to export but still converted to circles. I just tried another approach: I recreated the sparkles with snap to pixel, started with a square, used overlapping circles to "cut out" the sides then rotated and rounded the points slightly. that seems to export fine.– cutiger04Commented Feb 6, 2021 at 18:30

Hmmm- interesting- glad you found a way to make it work...– KyleCommented Feb 6, 2021 at 19:56

I ran into this issue many times and I finally found a solution that works for me. So what I did was "copy and paste in place" the same shape and make sure BOTH are selected and go to pathfinder and click on Unite and then in the corner setting of pathfinder choose Make Compound shape This should now work!

Object > Expand AppearanceNo need to for all that copy/pathfinder stuff.– ScottCommented Nov 15, 2021 at 6:15
I solved it by adding an anchor point randomly on the curves of the sparkle. It didn't affect the smoothness of the lines and it exported with no problem.
