File and Style Guidelines

File Guidelines

  • Please submit only SVG up to 10 MB in size.
  • Files should be dedicated to Public Domain.
  • DO NOT submit any trademarked or copyrighted graphics. These images will not be included in the repository unless explicitly placed into the public domain.
  • Logos are not allowed. However, please submit component parts that are not trademarked from logos.

Content Guidelines

  • Open Clip Art Library accepts all submissions. We do not censor the content of the submissions, but rather allow for keywords to be embedded inside the images so that others might filter based on their situation. As a corollary, the Library will not reject images that are legal in most countries just because they are illegal in a minority of countries.
  • Keywords provide in an image should try to be objective descriptions of the content they represent. Try to stay away from placing subjective or judgmental words ("objectionable, evil, bad") that may be limited to particular regions, or subcultures.
  • Every image should have multiple keywords used to describe the content submitted. Keywords are the primary way that images are sorted, filtered, and processed.
