Title: No Vectors on Pond5?
Post by: Talshiar on October 09, 2012, 18:09

Why is Pond5 not accepting vectors? Anyone know?

"Note to photographers and illustrators: we currently do not accept uploads of photography in any other format than JPG or any type of vector illustrations."

I don't think they're going to change that anytime soon.  You can upload the large jpg images of your illustrations.  I've only got one of mine up there so far just haven't had the time to upload my entire port.

It's so strange. I have just send an email asking why they don't accept vectors. You can find there are vectors file on their database.

it seems those vector are from 123rf.com.

I got 2 raster illustrations sales there recently, and surprisingly got 2 video sales too from my tiny video portfolio.

one thing interesting in pond5 is u can set your own price. But the interface is something they can improve..like too many similar tab, like 'my profile' 'view profile' 'edit profile' 'overview' 'preferences'..i always end up to click around to find what i want.

this is a referral link.
