Step 4:

To upload your Illustration, please click on "Upload New”.

  • Mandatory file formats for uploading illustrations are PNG and SVG. However, contributors may also upload optional file formats likely EPS, JPG, and AI.
  • It is important to keep in consideration that while using the drag & drop functionality to submit illustrations, contributors must select at least three illustrations, which must consist of all file formats for a particular asset.
  • While uploading an illustration, please make sure all the formats of one illustration have the same name (case-sensitive) so that we can group them.
  • For tagging, we extract tags and titles from the jpg file metadata for a seamless upload process. Please refer to the image shared below, for understanding file formats requirements:

Delete Draft: This allows you to delete your pack, please note this action is not reversible.

Upload More: This allows you to add more illustrations to your pack.

To upload Mockups/Pack Preview, please click on cloud-upload which will redirect you to your local folder. You can add up to 8 previews.
