Hi,
When importing SVG files from Illustrator, text, paths, lines, shapes... everything is very pixelated.
Any idea on how to solve this?

Hi Cadel, we'll need to take a look at the SVG files to see what could be causing this behavior. Could you send some sample files over to to support@pixelmator.com?

I believe it´s more about how SVGs are displayed in Pixelmator Pro which is intentional as I read because we see the rasterized result previewed:

Yep, the pixelation comes from the raster-based nature of Pixelmator Pro. A good rule of thumb when editing vectors is to increase the overall image size. Pixelmator Pro will then use more pixels to display your graphic and, ultimately, you'll see smoother-looking shapes. And since vectors can be scaled up nondestructively, you'll be able to switch back to the size you need for your project whenever you like.
