Vector SVG Exports
Need it printed on a massive banner or edited in Illustrator? Export as an infinitely scalable SVG file.
Can I export the word search with a transparent background?
Yes! By default, the background is transparent. When you export as PNG, it will retain the transparency, making it easy to place over other designs, documents, or presentations.
Why did some of my words fail to place?
If you have many long words in a small grid, the generator might not find overlapping configurations that work. Try increasing the grid size or removing some words.
Is the exported PNG high quality?
Yes, the PNG export is scaled up 3x to ensure it looks crisp and sharp even when printed or displayed on high-resolution screens.
Can I use the exported SVG in Adobe Illustrator or Figma?
Absolutely. The SVG export uses standard vector markup, which means you can open it in any vector graphic editor and further customize fonts, colors, and layout.
