I am having an issue exporting an SVG with multiple layers. When I export the SVG, a ton of white space is being added above and below the actual image. I selected all the objects on the artboard and went to object>artboards>fit to selected art and in Illustrator it looks fine(no unwanted white space) but as soon as I export it I am getting a ton of white-space added. How can I export as SVG so that there isn't any space added above and below the image?

EDIT: When I deselect everything and choose object>artboards>fit to artwork bounds it appears to add in the white space I am seeing in the final SVG. How can I crop the artwork bounds?

    If there's a clipping mask, fitting to artwork bounds will take as limits the mask content. Is there any clipping mask in the file?

It sounds like you have art beyond the artboard inside a clipping mask.

When exporting make sure that you have Use Artboards checked.
