If you have been using Pwika since before July 2024, please read this article.
With version 28 of Illustrator, in April 2024, Adobe significantly modernized the format of exported SVG files.
Pwika 2.2.29, released on 4 July 2024, makes Pwika compatible with all versions of Illustrator from 17 onwards.
If you are actively working on your website, it will be updated to the new version of Pwika.
Modules have been renamed to Components for compatibility with Figma.
Changes for existing Pwika users
Steps to update to the new version of Pwika:

If you have completed these steps and are unable to connect to your website, contact us and we’ll update your site immediately.
Pwika Vibe & Pwika Cloud
It may be necessary to enable the correct versions of Pwika Vibe and the Pwika Cloud domponent in Pwika Cloud.
In Pwika Cloud:
- navigate to Script Sets and make sure that Pwika Vibe 1.0.25 or later is enabled, and that earlier versions are disabled
- navigate to Components and make sure that Pwika Cloud 1.0.4 or later is enabled, and that earlier versions are disabled
WOFF Font Changes
The new version of Pwika Cloud has introduced a change in how WOFF fonts are handled:
- it is now necessary to fill out the Weight and Style fields for WOFF fonts
For the moment, this must be done manually:
- weight should be filled with a number from the list on this page
- style should be either Normal or Italic
If you notice that fonts are “too bold” or “too italic”, this is the issue — the weight or italic character is being applied twice.
Correctly filling out the font information will correct the issue.
