Hey there,
Illustrator 2019 has a neat feature called free gradient. However, when I use it and convert to eps 10 for shutterstock, it becomes raster. Solution for this...?

there is no solution.. it will become raster.
one way is to trace it.

I tried this as soon as I updated and was so disappointed to see that it expanded to a mess of clipping paths and a bitmap "Non-Native Art" swatch. If it could only expand to gradient mesh that would be perfect!

If you have a bunch of art where you've already used this and need to convert objects you might check out http://www.meshtormentor.com/ though fair warning: this plugin has been around forever and I haven't used it in years. I know it worked fine for me about 3 versions back though. Probably best to just pretend the new gradient type doesn't exist for stock vectors though

You could still use that "new" technique but you'll probably have to sell the image as a JPG but the original will probably have to be reconfigured to accommodate a stock site's rules that's all.

Personally I am tired of this software pretending to do every thing.
Years ago Illustrator was a vectorial software producing vectorial files, and Photoshop was a bitmap software producing bitmap files…
Today they want that Illustrator produces vector+bitmap+web+sound+movie+etc…
The same for Photoshop…

And of course they do al that bad…
