: How do I export a vector .EPS in Inkscape? I am saving my Inkscape .svg as an encapsulated postscript file, however the exported image is not vector. If I save as a .pdf, for example, then

There are certain things in and SVG drawing that will cause the EPS exporter in Inkscape to produce a rasterized version of your drawing in an EPS. There are a few things you can do to prepare your SVG to ensure that Inkscape produces a vector EPS. Mo Duffy talks about this issue in her blogpost from a few years back, but basically, you need to:


remove transparent gradients from your drawing. You may also need to remove all gradients.
remove all clips and masks
remove all inkscape patterns
important: add a white, totally opaque rectangle (without a stroke) at the bottom layer of your drawing that covers just the entire page.
