How to Export as Vector in Photoshop?

To export a vector shape as a vector file from Photoshop, follow these steps:

Steps to Export Vector Shapes from Photoshop

Locate the Vector Layer: In the Layers panel, find the vector shape layer you want to export. This layer is usually recognizable by its shape thumbnail.
Right-Click and Export: Right-click on the chosen vector shape layer. In the context menu, select Export As. This will open the Export As dialog box. (Reference 1)
Choose SVG Format: In the Export As dialog box, find the Format option and select SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) from the dropdown menu. SVG is the preferred vector format for web use and is supported by most vector editing software. (Reference 2)
Export the File: Click the Export button. This will prompt you to choose a location on your computer to save the SVG file. Once you select a location and enter a file name, click Save. (Reference 3)

Layer Selection: Ensure you have selected the correct vector shape layer. Exporting raster layers as SVG will not result in a true vector.
Complex Shapes: If your vector shape contains intricate details or effects, confirm it appears as expected in your SVG viewer or editor after exporting.
Alternative Formats: While SVG is the most common for vectors, you may encounter the need to save vector paths from Photoshop as different formats, such as EPS, which might require using the "Paths to Illustrator" method. This involves going to File > Export > Paths to Illustrator, exporting them as an AI file, and opening that file in Illustrator and then saving it as an EPS.
