 - Our team will regenerate new previews and JPEG derivatives from all existing vector content currently on the site. We’re midway through that process now.

Hey Brian,

I'm glad to hear this news about the jpg sizes being imminent. Can I hopefully assume that my existing previews that have been regenerated before, but not entirely successfully, will appear correctly after this new regeneration is complete?

Hi Whatalife -


I'll double-check, but my understanding is that new previews will be generated for all existing vectors (along with the full slate of JPEGs for customers as well).

Hi Brian,

Possible to feedback that let's veer system to generate the 5400 maximum size raster jpg based on eps we uploaded?

It takes a lot time to re-generate those eps and tag keywords?

if veer can generate it based on eps we uploaded, i am sure there are more uploadings and happy experience. thanks.

Hi MKTang -

Great question. We have looked at that - but as we are regenerating a high-res for existing content in a pretty manual way, (we just don't find the automated ways to create very satisfactory results) we don't think this would be very feasible for us to do on a regular/daily basis going forward.

To help though - we can talk to Shawn Haskell about possibly creating an action or droplet that makes it easier and faster for you.

Wonderful.  Thank you so much Brian. 

Hi Brian,
I uploaded two vectors today (.eps + .jpg same filename), but the processing of the images has problems and do not terminate...

Hi Tilo-  When did you attempt this?  We've just tested the upload system on all browsers and it appears to be working properly at the moment.  Please try again and email contributorhelp@veer.com if you encounter any further troubles

I just spend at least 20 minutes to regenerate 5 of my eps jpg preview from 4500 to 5000px, and re-tag all the keyword, cut and paste in photoshop and save it as another 5000px jpg.

I wonder what if someone with let's say just 100 eps that wants to upload to veer? but the jpg preview is not as big as 5000px?

the jpg preview for most of the eps vector are just to tag the IPTC data so the system read it and keywords are filled. It wasn't neccessary that BIG for that purpose. Other agencies are generate the size they want from the eps..

veer should have thought again this implementation..

I sympathize with the people who have problems with the new requirements. But I already have to prepare my vectors in different ways for different agencies, so I can't single out Veer to complain about.

And I have to say that I like the way Veer has announced and handled this change. I like the way they explained why they are making the change and how to meet their requirements.

If anyone has problems with the new requirements, you should check out this video on their site. It is helpful and very well done:

We’ve altered the vector upload workflow so that we can support offering customers a full-slate of rasterized JPEGs in addition to your .EPS vector. This was something many of you, and many of our customers, have been waiting for.
This means that your original .EPS vector file and a full suite of JPEG sizes from XS to XXL will be presented together to the customer on a single product detail page.
This is important - customers will now have the option to pick the file format and size that works best for them.

Is there an update on this? I haven't heard anything more about it or seen it implemented either.

The system has been implemented for all new uploads, or were you referring to when we would be creating JPEG versions of all previously published EPS files?
This is a manual process and it's taking a bit longer then we had hoped.  We've already converted a large portion of previously published EPS files, but it's now looking to be around mid to late February before we will have the rest of the JPEGs created and on the site available for purchase.
