Welcome to ClipArts.Net

Clipart is a useful tool for a variety of important projects, ranging from power point presentations to designing websites and even completing arts and crafts activities. Basically, clipart can be defined as any already created picture or image used as illustration. It can be electronic but is also often used in print form. Sometimes clipart is drawn by hand, and other times it is created over the computer. No matter where it is created or whether it ends up being used online or in print, today's clipart is almost exclusively copied and distributed electronically.

Clipart has expanded over the past decade, and now is categorized in a more accurate and thorough manner than in years past. Today's clipart falls into categories based on format, artistic style, type of image portrayed, medium through which is created (distinguishing whether clipart is illustrated by hand or on the computer), medium of the clipart itself (whether it is turned into a print version or electronic version), and how the clipart is marketed and distributed following its production.

There are two main clipart formats for clipart files. The first type is known as bitmap, a name that refers to a picture made up of an array of pixels. One way to think of bitmap is picturing the "airbrush" tool that disperses color in the program Paint. When you use airbrush, you are not creating a geometric shape or following any type of pattern whatsoever.

The other data type, vector art, uses mathematically based lines and geometric shapes to make images. This is like Paint's line tool or the polygon tool found on the program.

Clipart is often perceived as "free," but this isn't always true. Public domain clipart can be used and distributed for no cost, but distributing royalty-free or rights managed clipart without paying for the rights may be not allowed.
