Creative commons vector graphics
Free licences are supplied by the organisation, Creative Commons. Graphics and images published on this portal can be used by anyone, and there is no need to ask for the copyright owners’ permission.
Certain user conditions are linked with the seven total CC licences. Pictures or graphics published under creative commons licences are freely accessible and can be used by anyone. Barring one exception, the producers of the original content must always be credited. Some CC licences allow commercial use of material but prohibit users from changing the content in any way.
The CC0 licence grants users complete freedom in what they do with files. In contrast to other licenses, users are not required to cite the original creator of the content, although doing so is recommended.
Additional free vector graph licences
Creative Commons is by far the most well-known type of free licence. Many other free graphics are licensed in a different, yet comparably user-friendly form. Some providers also oversee their own free licences. Questions on how such graphics can be used are normally found on the provider’s website. Usage is often free, provided that the creator is properly credited.
Platforms like Freepik or Free Vectors offer two models for using their graphics databases: a free version that doesn’t require registration as well as one with registration and a monthly payment scheme. The free versions also give users access to the sites’ portfolios. Without an account and a payment plan, however, users are required to include a link to the databases, should the graphic find its way onto their own website.
Freepik and Free Vectors are by no means your only options for downloading free vector graphics that don’t require licences. Many other sites also have collections available with similar conditions as mentioned above. Here’s an overview of their features and overall terms of use.
