Variation in vector submissions
Last updated on
Jun 11, 2026
Learn how variation affects discoverability and what makes vector submissions meaningfully different.
A great way to maximize your earning potential is to submit a variation of high-quality vectors. When creating multiple versions of a vector, each submission should offer something distinct by altering the style, subject, or composition to serve different customer needs. You can upload up to three variations of each vector, expanding your portfolio's reach by addressing diverse use cases.
When submitting variations:
- Avoid submitting color variations and variations with different stroke types, as they're not significant enough to be considered acceptable.
- Avoid uploading the same vector with different shadows, effects, or flipped objects.
- Don't submit multiple copies of similar or identical content, as they may be perceived as too similar and identified as spam by our moderation team. Spamming is strictly prohibited and may result in your account being blocked or banned permanently. Learn more about submitting distinct content.
Note
For specific information on variation with icons, learn more about single vector icons and icon sheets.
