Illustrator Decreasing eps file size

[mikelamar]

Hey guys, I've make some work in AI CC and I wanna save it as eps file but the size should be no more than 10mb
- My artboard should be 2000x2000px (my design is 540x520px)

When I saved in Original format, that means CMYK 300dpi the result was an 117mb EPS file. #fail

+Is it possible to reduce the size to 10mb without loosing much of the quality cause I wanna post it on web and how to achieve that.

thanks in advance

Why does it have to be an EPS file to post on the web? I have a $35 program called Advanced Jpeg Compressor http://www.winsoftmagic.com/ that will take an EPS file and return a Jpg file that loses little quality but makes it much smaller. You might want to check it out. (that is very large file, must contain bitmaps as well as vector huh?)

Illustrator has a save for web function: alt-shift-ctrl-S

I was aware of that, but from 117mb down to a requested 10mb is pretty ambitious. Is AI going to give him that much reduction?

The problem is than an EPS file less than 10mb is required if I want to sell my stuff
I saved it in RGB mode 72dpi no preview no thumbnails no fonts and got an 11mb EPS
An lost a lot of quality
