For new asset types, and the very case of the PNG launch that we're working on with you, a critical mass is needed across search queries in order to meet customer satisfaction.

Hello Lima,

No need to re-upload your vectors as PNG. If your vectors don't have a background and have an artboard/canvas of ~10MP, we'll automatically process a transparent PNG version of them as an option for customers. As we're doing currently when offering JPG's on top of the Vector download. At first this option might only appear for recent vector uploads, we'll process the backlog as we can.

What happens if I was uploading vectors with artboards in sizes like 2400 x 2300? Do I recreate and save as a PNG or what's going to happen. Will I get dinged somehow for having a file as a vector and as a PNG?

Interesting move forward, I don't know if I'll just add new and leave the old as they are, but I'm still interested in how you are handling these updates.

Thank You

Hello Uncle Pete, The ~10MP is mostly a recommendation (I talk too fast, I lack Mat's experience. Most vectors convert well regardless of their artboard. The 10MP recommendation is to solve some rare use cases as issues come from small artboard vectors with occasional rasterized layers generated when a contributor converts it's vector to EPS. We'll be updating the HelpX page for vectors best practices soon. I'll post it here when it's live.

Any news on when the PNG service is likely to go live?

Not sure why PNG files we have uploaded and have been accepted are being sold as JPGs until the official launch. A customer may download a file that says it has a transparent background (as a PNG), but in fact they get a JPG that does not have a transparent background until the official launch. Not good for the reputation of the contributor nor Adobestock. Why not let these be downloaded as PNG's from the "get-go"?...would that really harm the launch?...there is no great secret here, competitors know that Adobestock will in fact be offering PNGs, so why the holdback of the files as a PNG? It would be better at least if the files were just not customer visible until the launch instead of misleading the customer who thinks they are getting a PNG but in fact get a JPG.

Good point, but as a rule of thumb I recommend avoiding mentioning the file type or transparency in the title, it's not best practice. These create more noise than benefits, and as you mention, they can lead to customer issues.
It is safer to rely on filters and other browsing options. Your transparent PNG is automatically detected and flagged as such and will be displayed in the given sections when we open them.
For new asset types, and the very case of the PNG launch that we're working on with you, a critical mass is needed across search queries in order to meet customer satisfaction.
The decision to sell them straight away as jpg's was made to ensure contributors would be able to generate revenue from their work without waiting for us to open NPG downloads. Going the other way would not have been fair on our end and might have hurt our sourcing ability.

Hi:

3 questions:

1 - I had 30 png files accepted prepared after initially reading the early discussion here so I put transparent as suggested by the AI and png in all the keywords and some titles. Do you recommend I go back and edit these ASAP?

2 - Although the Christmas leaderboards and other illustrations accepted as png files work with added white backgrounds, if downloaded by non-designer clients as jpgs, they might prefer red or green backgrounds. Should I include a version with colored backgrounds as a jpg file in those instances or will it confuse things?

3 - I did a search for "Christmas ornaments transparent png" today and thousands of files showed up - some showing the grey and white checkerboard and some a white background - the descriptions of those files all included png - so I'm confused - has the png launched or not? And if not, I'm assuming this will launch in time for holiday downloads since I've started with holiday illustrations (non-vector - I use PS) and want to be sure they'll be online as png files in time.

Thanks!

Good to hear, thank you.

Can you also submit images with inside transparency, like a beautifully decorated frame of fresh flowers, or food with a large transparency in the center of the image?

Like a frame?

Or Polaroid cut outs with empty spaces to drop your own fotos inside etc,,,,

Or does it always have to be a single object you can grab?

Is there anyway to crop and save a PNG file so it has no transparent container/box(like a circle is just a circle, not a circle inside a transparent box)?
I'm trying to use PNGs as web buttons and the transparent box surrounding the image is being registered. If I create a link it will be active as soon the cursor hits a transparent area of the container, before it hits the actual graphic I want to use as a button.
