Understanding SVGZ Issues

Issues Opening SVGZ Files

Adobe Illustrator CC Not Present

If you attempt to load your SVGZ file, you experience a message such as "Can't Open SVGZ Files". Usually, this is because you do not have Adobe Illustrator CC for %%os%% installed. The typical path of opening your SVGZ with a double-click won't work because %%os%% cannot make the program connection.

Tip: When another SVGZ application is installed, you can choose to open it by selecting "Show Apps" and using that program.

Outdated Adobe Illustrator CC

It is possible that your version of Adobe Illustrator CC isn't able to open your Compressed SVG File file due to incompatibility. If you've got the wrong version of Adobe Illustrator CC installed, you'll need to install the correct version. This problem is most common when you have an older version of the software application, and your file was created by a newer version that it cannot recognize.

Tip: Find clues on the correct software version by right-clicking your SVGZ file and clicking "Properties".

Regardless, most of the SVGZ file opening problems relate to not having the right version of Adobe Illustrator CC installed.

Other SVGZ File Issues

Assuming you have the right Adobe Illustrator CC version installed, other problems can prevent you from opening SVGZ files. If you are still having problems opening SVGZ files, there may be other issues that are preventing you from opening these files. These other problems include (listed in order from most to least common):

• SVGZ file references in the Windows Registry are broken
• Mistaken removal of the Windows registry SVGZ description
• Invalid installation of a SVGZ-associated program (eg. Adobe Illustrator CC)
• Your SVGZ file is corrupted (issues with your Compressed SVG File file itself)
• Your SVGZ is infected with malware
• SVGZ-related hardware has device drivers that obsolete
• Windows has inadequate resources to open your Compressed SVG File file
