Title: What's up with Shutterstocks 30MB limit?
Post by: KONJINA on June 05, 2016, 11:46
What's up with Shutterstocks 30MB limit? I started uploading there few days ago, for now just 3D renders from Blender and i noticed that 30MB limit on picture size and some of my best pictures are larger than 30MB. Shouldnt be in their interest to have better images?

And one more question, I was robably making pictures in too high resolution (9600x7000), what's optimal resolution?

Interesting. I thought the MP limit on Shutterstock was 25MP and no file size limitations...?

Well I tried to uploas some 3D renders and it kept warning me about those 30MB. I honestly don't understand that, they should ask for better pictures, not limit them. Anyway I got them resized and uploaded, but on some pictures reasons I got rejected are ridiculous like I didn't had word 3D render in keywords, or I used in keywords some words  shouldn't. iStock is much better with that matter (maybe only thing for non exclusives).

You really think that wave pattern flags needs to be 70 megapixels? After reading your post, I was excited to click on your portfolio links because I was expecting to see some high-end rendering of futuristic cityscapes or interior design/architecture as I have seen from some other artists. But seriously, why would you think those images would get "better" just because you blow them up even further?

I try to submit a vector set but it's higher than 14MB limit for vector. It's 25MB. I can't lower the size. This is very very frustrating.  >:(

Have you tried FTP? As far as I know, there is no limit through FTP.

Well I started to work both, 3D rendering and microstocking, about few months ago so I don't know all yet xD

I'm learning and, apparently, I make some beginners mistakes :D
