Why does my backboard shape look different?

To ensure compatibility with our app, your SVG must use both fill attributes and consist of solid-filled shapes. If your design contains stroke attributes, or hollow-filled shapes our app will attempt to convert them, which could affect the appearance of your shape.

For more information on this and guidance on creating shapes that work seamlessly with our app, refer to our Why Are "Fill" Attributes Important for Your SVG Files? guide.
