File size check tool for Shutterstock [Free Illustrator script]

 

 

Hello,
Thank you for coming to this site.

We have published a script that can be used when posting vector data to Shutterstock.

 
Shutterstock here

 
When posting vector data to Shutterstock, the size of the eps file must be 4MP (million pixels) or more.
Also, the upper limit is within 25MP.

In other words, if the vector data were square,

 

 

You need to create data within this range.

 

I think it’s easy to calculate if the design is always square.
But that’s not the case, is it?
So we need to be careful about this range limitation.

 

 

Actually, I mistakenly submitted vector data at 4MP or less, or exceeded 25MP.
I think it’s a waste of time to be NG due to such a small mistake.

So I created an Illustrator script that checks the MP size of the eps file.
