Hello everyone,
             I am new to vectors, I use Inkscape 1.2 version. I noticed that vector where I use blur-shadows and gradients turn out rasterized when save as an .eps file. Is there a way how to avoid this?  I noticed that infographic vectors have lot of blurs, shadows and text. Do they use a special method to save it as an eps vector? Thanks.

Inkscape can't translate blurs, blends or drop shadows well.

As long as you are using inkscape, stick to linear gradients.  Also, if you change the shape of an object, re-apply the gradient.

It's a limitation of the software.

I think it can handle circular gradients as well, but it definitely can't handle conic, square or mesh.

Thanks a lot Hannafate,
                                I focus on infographic where is lot of drop shadows. How I can do a shadows in inkscape without useing a blur? Thanks
