    Hello everyone. EPS file are just couples of KB. Shutterstock allow to submit EPS file from 4 - 25 MP. How can I do that in inkscape? Thank you very much for any advice.

    According to this page https://www.shutterstock.com/contributorsupport/articles/kbat02/How-do-I-submit-vector-illustrations-for-review?l=en_US&fs=RelatedArticle

    Its the bounding box of the artwork which determines what they class as 4MP

    In Inkscape

    1. Press Ctrl+A

    2. Press F1 to activate the select tool toolbar

    2. Click the lock icon on the toolbar between the width and height value boxes, to maintain aspect ratio

    3. Set the width to be 2560 px or above, then press tab key

    4. press Ctrl+Shift+r to match the page to the bounding box.

    Done.

    Thanks a lot Inklinea. Its getting brighter. After I did like you wrote, I saved the file as .EPS, but  the  enclosed result is  still 4,31 KB. I did something wrong, didnt I? Thanks, I appreciate it.

    According to the Shutterstock page, vector images are measure by the minimum bounding box dimensions, *not* the file size.

    Scaling vector images does not increase their file size by more than a few bytes.
