Guidelines for submitting vectors to Alamy

Before you’re ready to send, make sure you’ve checked your vector graphics for any locked layers, stray points, open shapes or unwanted details that could make using your vectors problematic for customers. It’s also worth knowing that we’re not currently accepting any AI-generated images on Alamy.

We need:

• EPS files
  Save your vector graphics as .EPS (sorry, we can’t accept files saved as: .AI, .SVG or .DRW)

• Metadata uploaded in accompanying JPEGs
  When you upload your EPS file, you can also upload a matching JPEG with metadata embedded in the IPTC (just make sure the JPEG file name matches the EPS file name)

The JPEG you send is only used to extract the metadata.

OR if you don’t want to upload both JPEG and EPS files, you can just send us the EPS and add metadata later through Alamy Image Manager in My Alamy.

See the caption and tags section for more info on metadata.
