How do I find images and fonts?

You can find Clipart.com images and fonts by doing a keyword search or browsing categories.

Keyword Search

1. Select the image media type you wish to search for (i.e. Clipart, Photos, Illustrations, etc.).
   NOTE: Fonts and Sounds are not searchable by keyword.

2. Enter keyword(s) into the keywords search field.

   • To find an exact phrase, enclose it in double quotes. (Examples: "Statue of Liberty", "Brooklyn Bridge".)

   • Select Match all or Match Any from the pull-down menu. (Example: Using the keywords cats dogs with Match Any selected will return images with cats OR dogs. Selecting Match All will only return images with cats AND dogs.)
     NOTE: Match All/Any only applies when using more than one keyword.

   • Enter any keywords you'd like to filter out of your search into the not these words field. (Example: Enter cats in the keyword field and dog in the not these words field to find images with cats and NO dogs.)

3. Click the Search button.
