What is the recommended EPS version for vectors on Adobe Contirbutor

Right now I uploaded only JPEG files to my Adobe contributor account. However, I am a designer and I was uploading large numbers of vector files on other contributor sites. Now I am planning to upload those vector files on my Adobe contributor account as well. 

 

For other sites, I always select "Illustrator EPS 10 Version"  while exporting my vector EPS file because those sites only accept vectors with "Illustrator EPS 10 Version".

 

So my question is what is the recommended or acceptable EPS version by Adobe for vectors that I want to upload on my Adobe Contributor Account? If I will export and upload vectors with "Illustrator EPS 10 Version" then is it fine or any other version will be the best choice? Kindly let me know about that.

 

Kind Regards.

Illustrator files would be the best solution. EPS is a dead file format that does not evolve anymore. So any latest format version will be readable by any dumb program.

I haven't purchased an EPS file in over a decade.  EPS is an outdated file type. 

 

I prefer to have vectors in a modern Adobe Illustrator file -- .ai or .svg. 

Whatever you submit to Stock should be compatible with modern software.

Good morning, Nancy. I’m a bit late, but I’d like to ask you something.

 

I’ve been having trouble uploading AI files to Adobe, though I can easily generate SVG or EPS. Is this simply a matter of market demand, or is one format genuinely better?

 

From what I understand, you would recommend uploading SVG instead of EPS, right? My doubt is genuine because SVG seems modern, lightweight, and suitable, yet I keep seeing EPS used rather than SVG on Adobe Stock. Thank you in advance

What error messages are you seeing?

Did you try with another web device/browser?  Latest desktop Chrome or Firefox?

Are you submitting single .ai files (no Zip folders) that conform to the submission requirements?

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

Zip files are indeed no more accepted. First, Adobe ignored the included preview file, then they simply removed zip files from the accepted file formats, witch is the logic consequence of generating the preview internally. Generating the preview allowed Adobe to offer also PNG files for assets with no background.

 

There were many issues with user added previews, where the user mixed up the .ai file of one asset with the preview of a different one. Coustomers were not amused...
