[ciddiffinity]

Hi,

I try to upload my vector works shutterstock page. But This page always give me error about your .EPS artwork must be bigger than 4 megapixels size ! This is strange, because vector file how count with "megapixel" but, i try after my artwork export something.eps, open it Adobe Illustrator, in AI i will set "artboard" size is 4000x4000 pixel than later save as something.eps, after this i upload shutterstock then accepted. Sorry for my English, but all this extra steps make me be tired. In Affinity designer is this have anywhere settings ?

You can have artboards in Designer, too.

By the way, 4000x4000 px is 16 MP, not 4MP. You would need 2000x2000 px for 4MP.

[walt.farrell]

Also, use a document DPI of 72.

i need minimum 4mp. so i will set it bigger but all this ways i try nothing changed. Even file size is always see 38.3 kb !.. i use 300 dpi and nothing change !.. How is it possible this is "impossible" before i make it in affinity than later open in adobe illustrator, there i can resize artboard and later okay but it not work anymore too after adobe illustrator cc 2020 ! ? two different programs, before i did, now i can't ?! What changed i don't know.

EPS is "vector" format, therefore, canvas size has no effect on file size. Unlike "raster" format.

The size in megabytes (or kilobytes) for a vector format file does not matter.

But you need to convince shutterstock that it is big enough.

Please try a document DPI of 72 (not 300) as I suggested above and an artboard or document size of at least 2000 x 2000 px and I think you should be fine.

I know .eps, .AI vb. vector formats how is it possible can be count with megapixels ! But shutterstock need it, before with Adobe Illustrator i set atrboard size 4000x4000 and it will be okay. But now even with Adobe Illustrator it not work ! What changed i don't understand that. Ayyway, today i want to learn don't need Adobe Illustrator for this, but i see impossible save .EPS file with Affinity Designer 4,6,8,20 megapixel ?! I will trying add screenshots here now.  I hope that screenshots help for understanding my problem.

It is possible that the file saved by Illustrator includes proprietary .ai format data within the .eps file. That would make the file bigger in the number of bytes it contains.

Did you try my suggestion of using 72 DPI for your document, and a document size of at least 2000 x 2000 px, and see if Shutterstock would accept it?

If that doesn't work, perhaps try it with an artboard of at least 2000 x 2000 px, and a document DPI of 72, and let us know if it works.

I try artboard 6000x4000 or 4000x3000 pixel in Adobe Illustrator, but when i save .EPS interesting nothing changed all different artboard size files same visible ! Nothning changed in AdobeIllustrator CC2020... I add another screenshot

[walt.farrell]

I have no idea what Illustrator is doing. And I don't really care, as I don't use it.

Does my suggestion for using Designer solve your problem with Shutterstock?

It should usually have written into it's generated EPS data output, so when the EPS is opened with a text editor, things should look like by an Adobe tool generated PS/EPS comment prolog ...

Dear Affinity Team,

I had the same happen to me when I tried submitting an EPS-file that I exported from Affinity Designer.

I created a 3000x2000px sized document with 72dpi and exported it to EPS. When I upload it to Shutterstock, I get the message "The size of your artwork (not the size of the artboard) must be at least 4 megapixels.".

Any idea what I could try?

All the best,

.michele

Thank you @walt.farrell.

After I've selected 72 dpi in the "Document setup...", shutterstock  let me submit my SVG file!

I'm waiting to see if it will be approved!
