Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Can I use Download Artwork images on my Etsy store?
Yes, with the Commercial Use License. You can print our designs onto physical merchandise (like T-shirts or mugs) and sell those items. However, you cannot resell the digital file itself or sell it as a printed paper poster.

What does “Pre-Cleared” mean for Broadcast?
It means we have already secured the necessary legal releases for the artwork to appear on screen. If you are a set designer for a TV show, you can download the art, print it, and place it on set without worrying about copyright strikes or clearance delays.

Do I need to pay extra for global usage?
No. Our licenses are global. Once you purchase, you can use the art anywhere in the world according to the tier you selected.

What file format do I receive?
All files are high-resolution, 300 DPI JPEGs, ready for professional printing at large sizes (up to 30″ x 45″ depending on the aspect ratio).
