Pixelization of the drop shadow of my SVG on Safari

Hi!
I have a problem on safari with the export of my illustrations in SVG. When one of my paths or objects has a drop shadow, it gets pixelated when displayed in the safari browser. The problem does not occur on Chrome and when my illustrations come from another software, I do not have this problem.

Is it someone would have a small idea?
Thanks 😉

I have the same problem. In a possibly related issue, sometimes elements with gradients and clipping masks render very blocky: the mask is gone and the gradient remains in a big block. But only in Safari. And only sometimes.

I’m having the same issue. Any devs on this?

Hey there, I was looking for an answer to this issue, but I found a workaround. The workaround is to duplicate a new element below the one you want the drop-shadow on, and add the drop-shadow to that duplicated element (it just needs to be the same size as it’s parents element.

It works; slightly annoying work around but considering moving elements from Figma to illustrator is such a bad workflow at the moment it is definitely better.

Any update on this? I don’t know how more people aren’t complaining about SVG rendering on Safari on iOS? It seems any SVG with effects doesn’t render properly. My developers are having to recreate the effects in CSS… Surely that’s not the intended workflow?
