In a world of 4k screens and extremely high resolutions, clip arts are losing relevance quickly. However, there are still situations where one might revert to the good old clip art days.
In this article, we’re talking about the top 7 public domain clip art galleries.
Clker
Clker is one of the most popular clip art galleries still online. There are thousands of vector images to choose from and a good collection of raster images.Â
There’s no restriction on how you use the images, and downloads can be in PNG, SVG or ODG in either of the three sizes, namely small, medium and large.Â
There’s also a rather strong sense of community. Members can contribute by editing or improving existing images or uploading their own, and tagging the collection to improve the site. There’s also a handy online editor that you can use.
