When I export an icon as an .svg that contains padding, the padding seems to get lost when saved.
I have this icon with a 1px padding on the sides:
When I export that icon as a .svg, and import it again, it has lost it's padding. How do I preserve this?
Extra information: I'm using the SVGO compressor plugin to compress .svg's
Not sure what the compressor does exactly, but one simple way would be adding a transparent rectangle to the artboard that covers the whole area.
Add your icon on a new artboard of your desired size, and export the artboard itself as SVG. This works for me.
