With the Pro plan, you\u2019ll get access to download 200 designs per month, from our collection of over 70.000 designs & graphics, all available for personal and professional use.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n In case you\u2019re new to vector designs, here\u2019s a quick guide to file formats, graphic type and programs to use.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n To start off, you\u2019ll always get a zip file, which is a compressed folder filled with our graphics, so in order to access the design files you\u2019ll have to right click and export this Zip Folder with either Winrar (for Windows & Mac) or a similar file extractor.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Once you export these zip folders, you\u2019ll gain access to the actual graphics, which can be a mix of any one of these file types, depending on the graphic: <\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]\n PNG stands for Portable Network Graphics file and is an image that not only supports transparency (meaning it can have a transparent background), but it can handle detailed, high contrast images very well. <\/span>JPEG<\/b> is a whole other story, as it\u2019s similar in the way that it represents detailed images well, but every time you open it up and save it, you\u2019ll lose image quality, whereas with a PNG that will never happen. Another downside to JPEGs is that they don\u2019t support transparency, so if you\u2019re looking to create logos or icons, this may not be the filetype for you.<\/span><\/p>\n [Important note on PNG & JPEGs: these images do not scale well, if you\u2019re looking for a design but don\u2019t know what size you\u2019ll need, vectors are the way to go]<\/span><\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text] SVGs are vector graphic formats, which are highly used on Website design, App design and Software design as they have great responsiveness, scalability, and image quality. As we mentioned earlier, being vector graphics means they\u2019re resizable, can handle transparent backgrounds, and support high-quality images. <\/span>[\/vc_column_text] While we normally use PDF files for documents, they\u2019re very useful for graphic design as well, as they act as vector formats, which means they can easily be scaled to whatever size you need, they handle transparent backgrounds. EPS & PDF files are vector formats designed specifically to create high-quality graphics for printing and are considered universal file types, meaning they can be opened up in most design editors that support vector formats. <\/span>[\/vc_column_text] AI files are the official file type supported by Adobe Illustrator, which is a vector graphic format and by far the preferred format for designers. Along with all the convenient vector image qualities, when opening up these files on Illustrator or Inkscape, you\u2019ll be able to have fun with your design and edit all you want, whether you want to add text or change up some shapes and colors. AI files have the benefit of layered separation, meaning the images can be separated in layers easily and edited accordingly. We’ve got tons of ready made Illustrator templates for businesses and promotional purposes, check them out!\u00a0<\/a>[\/vc_column_text] PSD files<\/a> are layered images used in Adobe Photoshop, where users can select and edit by layers. PSD files are raster images, meaning they\u2019re not vectors and do not support scalability without losing image quality. <\/span>[\/vc_column_text] Last but not least, <\/span>Programs and Tools<\/b> we highly recommend in order to take advantage of our graphics and help create the best version for your projects:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Used by designers and artists, Illustrator is the preferred software to create high quality vector images. Illustrator is highly recommended for creating company logos, promotional material, digital art, infographics, and more. The down side? Like most Adobe programs, it\u2019s pretty expensive to purchase in order to start creating.\u00a0<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n Inkscape is the free version of Adobe Illustrator, meaning it supports the same file types and can be used to create the same images. Seeing as it\u2019s an open source program, it\u2019s not as user friendly as Illustrator but once you get the hang of it, it\u2019s pretty easy to get creative with it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Photoshop is great for editing and enhancing images, creating graphics for your business or website, digital art, digital or printed graphics and more. This program allows for users to edit within layers, adding textures, images, lighting effects, and more. <\/span><\/p>\n GIMP is an open source program and the free version of Photoshop, which means you could open up the same file types, edit them in the same way, create and edit layers, and more. It\u2019s super similar to Photoshop and worth giving a try if you\u2019re looking to work with raster images. <\/span><\/p>\n If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to our customer support team.

PNG graphics are commonly used for placing logos on branding assets like business cards, business presentations<\/a><\/strong>, and other projects that won\u2019t require a dimension change or scaling of the image, where JPEGs are great for things like photographs. When working with raster files, it\u2019s highly recommended to know for certain what dimensions your file will need for your project, as it will not scale well if you later have to change up the image size. <\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” width=”1\/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column_text]Vector Files<\/b> are image formats that store data as geometric descriptions, which basically means that it\u2019s a very scale friendly graphic. In other words, vector files are perfect when you\u2019re not quite sure what size you\u2019ll need, as they can be resized without losing any image quality. The most common vector file types are svg, eps, pdf and ai. Vector files are super easy to edit if you have basic Design Software knowledge, since they\u2019re saved in separate shapes that are easily editable in size, shape and color. <\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_column_text]\nFile Types:\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n
