Hi @stwbs,
Welcome to affinity Forums
All EPS files sold on stock sites are Adobe Illustrator compatible. These files open correctly in Illustrator because it embeds proprietary Ai data in the exported EPS files which is what is uses to load them back in, keeping all objects/features editable. Affinity apps are only able to access the EPS data which depending on the features used to create the file (transparency, blend modes, mesh fills etc) may be flattened/split in different layers/objects than the ones used to originally create the file.

Thanks for quick reply. That's a pity 😕

Hi stwbs,
The EPS format itself is quite limited (and old) and don't support most modern features (complex gradients, mesh fills, any transparency type/blend modes etc). If possible, download/use another format like SVG, Ai (only if the PDF stream is included in the Ai file) or PDF.
