EPS files for shutterstock

[Furius]

I´m using Affinity Designer on IPad Pro and had trouble exporting vectors so I can upload them to Shutterstock.

What I learned after a few trials and Errors:

- Exporting as EPS lvl 3 will create an EPS that Shutterstock submission will accept

- you´ve got to keep the requirement for Shutterstock EPS submission in mind (no gradients, no pixel/raster images, all shapes/vectors, no transparency and gradients etc)

- if you add fonts, convert them to curves first

 

I tried and searched for quite a while there, until I "accidentally" stumbled upon it - also this forum helped. 

So I want to share this useful piece of information to all folks who try to upload to Shutterstock and are supposedly stuck with Adobe Illustrator.

Cheers!

how can my 6278 x 5384 pixel vector file convert to an EPS output size of only 6 kb in Affinity Designer?

Very easily, I created a 6,278 px x 5,384 px RGB document, added a rectangle to the same size and the exported .eps file is 4.91 KB. It will obviously depend on the content of the file...
