Vector submission: meaning of Maximum artboard resolution:65MP (megapixels)

Hello,

How can I find the artboard resolution?  This is related to "Maximum artboard resolution: 65MP (megapixels)"  as given in the vector technical guide line.

 

Thank you

DJ

 

Submit with the following technical guidelines:

AI, EPS and SVG formats only
Recommended artboard minimum: 15MP (megapixels)
Maximum artboard resolution: 65MP (megapixels)
Maximum file size: 45MB (megabytes)
Document Color Mode: RGB
Artboard offset: (0,0) upper-left corner

DJ,

 

At first I felt like one of the small animals in Farewell to Shady Glade, completely failing to understand what the old raccoon was trying to explain.

 

But scrolling down to "Size your vectors just right." in your link, I believe I have grasped it:

 

These requirements have nothing to do with vector use, but are made to enable one of the user options, namely exporting to raster format.

 

Ignore the word pixel as Photoshop speak and just use the unit point = pixel (72 points/pixels = 1 inch), then make your artwork/Artboard within the relevant size range stated in "Size your vectors just right."

 

The size range is chosen to hopefully ensure sufficient resolution and avoid excessive file size.

 

With this, your vector artwork can be exported at 1x = 72 PPI to PNG or JPEG (or other raster format) to the exact size that you have made it at.

 

Remember to start the Artboard at X = Y = 0 (upper left corner), so it fits the pixel grid and raster image boundary issues are avoided.

Is this for Adobe Stock?

 

A 65 MP pixel image would be just over 8,000 pixels square (for example). But as Jacob says it really doesn't make any sense for vector files.

There are some that would say: "65 megapixels? that's not a camera. This is a camera."

DJ,

 

That is seriously weird, as Jackie Reid would say.

 

Which vector technical guide is it?

 

Maybe a link can (eventually) lead to an explanation.

 

Obviously, a Artboard has no resolution (or infinite), no background, nothing, until you create something.

 

Megapixels make (more) sense for cameras and similar things.

Thank you Doug and Jacob,   

I wonder if this is related to vector exporting as jpeg.  

where the information coming from.
