Hi,

I have created this effect in illustrator and then export the image. (72dpi)

Reason : Common issues that can impact the technical quality of images include exposure issues, soft focus, excessive filtering or artifacts/noise.

You should then upload this as an Illustrator picture, and Adobe will create the JPEG for users not having access to Illustrator.

Your 72dpi indication is irrelevant. What is important with pixel images is the resolution in pixels. You can set the ppi value to anything you want, without modifying the image. Indeed, that value is only used during print to check the print resolution and if the asset prints correctly. In that case, the real ppi value will be taken, which is a function of the print size in inches and the number of pixels.

Software, like InDesign, however, use the ppi value to generate the previews. A low ppi value generates considerable previews, which is not what you want.

Hello

Regarding PPI and DPI - Pixels Per Inch = PPI

Dots Per Inch = DPI.

==========

Illustrator is a tool for making vector graphics -- crisp lines & sharp edges on icons, logos, illustrations, cartoons/comics, detailed drawings, product packaging...

Unlike raster images which are pixel-based, vectors are resolution independent (see screenshot). That means, vectors can be scaled up or down without any quality loss. When you exported your vector to 72 dpi JPG, you turned it into a low-res, pixel-based raster image. 😓

Read these tips on creating vector artwork (.ai, .eps, .svg) for commercial use on Stock.

Hope that helps.

What @jacquelingphoto2017 said, but easily fixable with some Gaussian blur. And what @Nancy OShea said. Not only is the database full of background images, even people who don't want to put a lot of time into AI can easily create something like this on their own for free. My very first submissions were abstract backgrounds and a few have sold, but simple gradients like this are exactly that...too simple, especially with the arrival of AI.
