Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Can I use the clip art images for free?
No. The clip art images are not available for free use. Why? Our artists sell these images through us so they can make money. For many of them, this is how they make their living. You wouldn't want to offer your services for free or work for your boss without pay, would you? Please do not contact us asking for free use. The answer is NO. Even if you are a non-profit organization, please do not ask.

Do you offer discounts?
Yes, but only through our clip art collections. We do not offer discounts on individual clip art purchases. As mentioned above, the artists choose their own pricing meaning that they clearly state their minimum price on the page. They do not want to be paid less and I doubt you would either for the job that you do.

Does Royalty-free mean free?
No. Although there are two different types of royalty-free in this industry, the most common is the type that we license. To us, royalty free means that you pay a one time fee and you get to use the image(s) forever, for multiple uses, without having to pay additional fees, also known as royalties, hence the term royalty-free.

Can I have an image customized or a prop added to an image?
Yes, depending on the artist. Most of our artists offer this for additional fees. The fees vary widely from artist to artist. Some artists may do this free. Please contact customer service if you need custom work done.

Can I buy an image outright so no-one else can use it?
This depends on the image and the artist. Some of our artists do not sell any images outright. If an image is available to be sold ourtight, it typically costs at least a couple thousand, however a few artists have sold images for a few hundred. If you are interested in purchasing an image outright, please contact customer service.

Can I have an artist create a new image for me?
Yes. Most of our artists do create requested images. Some artist's don't. Most artists do charge a fee. You will need to contact customer service if you are interested.

If I buy a small image now and I need a larger version later, can I upgrade?
Yes, you can upgrade by contacting customer service.

What is the difference between the small, medium and large image files?
The small files are meant for small web graphics. Depending on your quality standards, you may be able to print a small on a business card, however we suggest a medium or large file for any sort of printing.

The medium files are meant for small print projects such as postcards, brochures, business cards, larger web graphics, etc.

The large files are meant for larger print projects such as advertisements, posters, etc.
