Question

Format for illustrated alphabets

I make illustrated alphabets. What is the best format/size to deliver/submit the 26-letter files to Adobe Stock. When I upload them as a set of three transparent PNGs, A-I and J-R may get accepted but then S-Z is rejected for similar content. It's an alphabet. I'd like to give people a chance to own the alphabet so they can build words.

I haven't created the alphabets as single PNGs because they are detailed and I am trying to give people a quality file they can scale.

Any guidance most appreciated.

Type should always be submitted as a vector graphic set (Adobe Illustrator .ai, .eps or .svg).  See example below.

Vector graphics are math-based & re-scalable to any size that's required without quality loss. You can't do that with pixel-based rasters (.jpeg or .png). 

 

Artboard size is whatever is required.

  • Recommended artboard minimum: 15MP (megapixels)
  • Maximum artboard resolution: 65MP (megapixels)
  • Maximum file size: 45MB (megabytes)

 

 

 

Hope that helps.

My work is actually illustrated letters and while they are created in Illustrator the final letters have too many colors, points to be used as type per de put into font software. They can be selected, scaled and composed in Photoshop or Illustrator. Putting them into a single file they can only be saved as png w/trans 10000 x 10000 at 72 ppi to satisfy the Adobe requirements. I am not offering a poster, but letters than can be used. I am struggling to find a way to deliver the file. I have tried native .ai and split into three pngs, all problematic for different reasons. The link you provided look like posters--not letters people can use in their designs. Thanks though.

If they were created in Illustrator, why not submit them as an Illustrator file?

If you want to offer them as a complete set, they must all be in a single file.
