Here’s some good news for illustrators. When you upload your illustrations to Shutterstock, you can now select any two categories to help customers locate your artwork. You no longer have to select “Illustrations/Clip-Art” or “Vectors” as one of your two choices.

Here are the details about what we changed:

• We removed the option to select “Illustration/Clip-Art” as a category in the Shutterstock Content Editor.
• All EPS uploads will appear in the “Illustrations/Clip-Art” and “Vectors” categories automatically.
• If you’re uploading JPG illustrations, select “Yes” for “Illus./Clip-Art” in the Content Editor and your files will appear in the “Illustrations/Clip-Art” category.
• You should choose 2 additional categories for each image that best relate to the content of your illustrations, to help customers find them.

We hope you enjoy this additional flexibility to file your images in categories!
