AI image acceptable on OpenSea

[default7db2xydo9xjj]

How do I get a photographic image in AI into a format acceptable on OpenSea?  Will pay a freelancer in the 90403 area for help.  Thanks.

Can you explain what OpenSea actually means?

Can you also explain about what acceptable formats you are talking?

What do you mean by the 90403 area? This is an international forum and that number may have different meanings, depending on where a participant is living.

90403 is Santa Monica, CA.  OpenSea in an NFT trading website.  The AI SVG file format in not compatible with OpenSea though they say an SVG file is acceptable.  Need help...

How exactly did you save or export your SVG and what errors if any do you get from OpenSea?

Good morning Doug,

Thanks for the reply.  You are dealing with a digital ignorant here (I mean immigrant).  Simply did a 'save as SVG.  When I try to upload to OpenSea the reply is 'invalid file format'.  So I'm mystified.  One early responder said the SVG format is for text and I'm using photographs.  That might be the issue.  

[Doug A Roberts]

SVG files are text files, but they can contain (encode) photos, vector graphics, text etc.

Is your file literally just a photograph? If so JPEG may be a better choice.

If you need an SVG, try File > Export > Export As instead of Save As.

edit: also you made a similar topic a couple of months ago? Have you been attempting this since then? Did none of the advice in that topic help?

Thanks Doug!  I will try as you suggest with the export route.  Been awhile since I last tried to upload to OpenSea but as I recall JPEG was not an option.  
Will begin banging my head against this wall again later today...

OpenSea's documentation lists JPG:

Oh geez...

Told you I'm a digital ignorant.

On it!  With huge thanks.  How'd I miss that...?
