Five Clip Art Websites that Are Really and Truly Free

As our lives are so busy it is very annoying to search for a website that advertises itself as a free clipart site only to find they have stamped their name across the art, connect you to other non free clip art website or become fee based once you enter them. Here are five clipart websites that live up to their reputation and ad as free.

Google Images: If you are looking for a assortment of free clipart enter "free clip art" into the google search. If you are looking for a particular image, place the name of that image in front of the request for "free clip art." When the images come up click on them and they will take you to the site displaying them. Make sure to look on the site front page to see if the images are allowed to be copied. Most don't mind, so long as the usage is not commercial.

www.Free-graphics.com: This site boasts over 30,000 free cliparts and it is easy to search. The sidebar offers a menu list of specific items you can find and use, including animated clipart as well. It offers a sister site called www.iclipart.com, which is membership fee based. Free-graphics.com however, offers quite a good selection within the 30,000 available at no cost.

www.Office.Microsoft.com: Although not as large of a variety as most free sites, Microsoft makes a decent attempt at providing free clipart. The site is easy to maneuver and gives great information regarding the size, type and resolution.

www.ClipArtOf.com: I love the fact that this website not only features free clipart, but it allows graphic artist the ability to show off their artwork and get recognition for it. The clip art offered is very unique and creative. The categories to choose from are huge and the more a artist contributes the more they are featured on the site. There are also backgrounds available to choose from.

www.BabyBacks.com: If you have the time and patience, the library available for free clipart, backgrounds, buttons and more is vast. The quality for free downloads is amazing. However, there is a warning on the site that limits the amount of downloads that can be done daily. As of the date of this article the amount is 20. Also the site states that images collected from this site cannot be used for outside of non for profit.

Clipart is a great way to enhance projects done on the Internet or hard copy. Be careful when going into sites that they do not contain viruses that can be downloaded to your computer. Also, any site that needs to collection credit card information to allow access is not a free clipart website. You may not get access to millions of available images, but the quality of the ones provided in the above websites should be enough to do the job.
