I am very new to Illustrator. Could you help me with following question:

Creating a gradient with a Screen-overlay type (near opacity selection) makes your radial gradient a glow pattern, removing the black circle around it.

enter image description here

But when saving to SVG the black circle appears.

How do I get rid of it ?

    prntscr.com/nxg5f9 - this is the effect i created in Illustrator to make a glowing point. It uses a Screen blending mode with a gradient Fill. If i try to save it my svg looks like this - prntscr.com/nxg685 If i try to Rastr it - glowing points simply dissapear from image saved in SVG. I know why... cuz its SVG format I simply want same glowing effect in my resulting SVG icon.

    It would be more useful to see the svg code since I can not reproduce the problem, everything works correctly with gradients in screen blending mode in svg.

    i have been able to add mix-blend-mode: multiply; to paths that i need - that makes my svg icon look same as in illustrator. But i am not sure if this is the correct solution taking in account support of that feature in browsers. Can u clarify about this solution ? May be it's better to reproduce same glowing points without blending mode but i don't know what way to go to make it

Everything works fine using screen blending mode in svg. If this is a problem in your svg, instead of using blending modes, you can use a gradient with the same color and different opacities, from 100% to 0%:

Huge numbers of these Blending modes in the Transparency panel (like Screen) are not bolstered by the SVG file format. So these should be rendered into pixel parts, a procedure which is called flattening. For this, select the related articles and pick Object > Flatten Transparency. Note: the first components will be adjusted, so hold a unique Illustrator record when sparing the modified form to SVG. Hope this will help you.
