: How to save high res logos in Illustrator I have pretty basic Illustrator skills as I taught myself. I have revamped a clients logo in illustrator and they have asked for many colour variations

It might be worthwhile noting that EPS files can contain vector or raster images, or both. So without knowing what it contains, this question is not easy to answer. You should consider editing it to add details of what is contained in the EPS file.

If your EPS contains vectors only then it has no resolution as such. Vectors have no pixels.

How are you "zooming" in on the EPS? There's a chance you might just be zooming in on a preview, and not the actual EPS. Previews are sometimes just low resolution raster images.

As for exporting raster images, you can change the resolution of raster images when you export them using the settings in the export dialog.

You are mixing some of the terms here:


EPS is a vector format and there is no 'low' and 'high res' when referring to vector artwork. Vector artwork can be used to generate raster artwork in any resolution you may need. In many cases prints can be produced from vector work without the need to use raster formats.
JPG is a raster format and for this you can talk about 'low' and 'high res', both of which can be exported in Illustrator via different export settings
a vector file (EPS in your case) can include non-vector (raster) artwork, in which case yeah you need to make sure you have plenty of resolution when using raster assets inside a vector file (which in turn can increase the file size of the vector file)

45mb for a logo is huge!

For a high res jpeg you can simply go to file - export -then select jpeg from the drop down box and set the quality you require, higher the quality the larger the file size will be.

As for the EPS this is a vector format so is not dependent on resolution and can be scaled up and down without loss of quality. To export an EPS go to file - save as - choose EPS as the format.

I hope this helps.
