🧼 CleanCanvaSVG – Script for Adobe Illustrator

Fix Canva’s SVG chaos in one click.

If you’ve ever exported a design from Canva and opened it in Illustrator… you already know the mess you’re about to walk into:
Clipping masks everywhere. Nested groups. Empty, invisible paths. Just pure frustration.

That’s because Canva uses clipping masks for everything — cropped images, shaped text, drop shadows. It looks fine on screen, but under the hood? It’s a complete disaster for laser cutting.

That’s where CleanCanvaSVG comes in.

With one click, this script:

• Recursively flattens all clipping groups

• Fully ungroups and normalizes compound paths

• Cleans up invisible or unfilled objects

• Leaves you with clean, laser-safe paths ready for export

🚀 What’s New in This Version:

• Smart recursive mask detection

• Better compound path handling

• Cleaner output for LightBurn, xTool, and Glowforge workflows

• No more double-checking or manual cleanup

If you design in Canva but cut in Illustrator, this script will save you time, sanity, and ruined material.
Just download it, run it, and get back to making awesome stuff.
