a filefile.eps
that I downloaded from http://www.shutterstock.com/ , it looks like this :
to export all those icons into its own piece so that I can use them on my site.
doing this manually one-by-one it is very time-consuming, now I'm looking for a better way to export all of them.
Is there any Mac application out there that help me export/slice my file.eps
into multiple icon.png
file ?
Should I even need to extract them ?
Most companies build their web pages using images purchased from the internet, usually stock photos. However, they usually don't want to use the photo as-is so they need to make some changes. This is why they need EPS, because they can fit the image into their website and have it conform to the ideals of their brand.
I'm sure there is more than one way to achieve this kind of task, but this is how I get mine done. Here are my steps :
I did that by open my file.eps
in Illustrator, and go to File > Save For Web > Select PNG-8 > Save. You should see it export to your desired destination.
Go to http://www.spritecow.com/
I load my exported file.png
, and select any objects, a correspond css code should be automatically generated for me like this :
I selected multiple icons that I liked, and display them properly.
Finally, I put together my result : HERE
Hope this answer help someone like me.
For those on a Mac, you can use the default program in Preview
.
Once you open the image, go to File > Export > Format.
You can then select your desired format and there's also an option to choose where to save it to.
Hope this also helps :)
