1. How do I order designs?

Once you have found the design you are looking for simply click the "Add to Cart" button, and your design will be automatically added to your shopping cart. You may view your cart at any time and add, delete, or empty your cart at your convenience. When it is time to checkout, click "Checkout". You will be sent to your cart to verify your purchase. Continue to checkout to enter your billing information and choose your payment option. Then enter your payment information, and once the credit card information is verified and the funds captured you will be e-mailed a link to a unique URL to download your designs.

Note: If you are not comfortable ordering online, contact us and we will run the payment information manually and e-mail the designs once the transaction is complete.

2. How do I find the clip art or design that I'm looking for?

There is search box located in the right navigation, as well as the ability to search categories in the left navigation on all pages. With the search box you can enter a keyword describing the design, or you can search by product number. If you choose to search by category, select your choice from the menu in the left navigation and the database will retrieve all designs associated with that category.

3. Why have I not received my e-mail for my download information?

If in the event you do not receive your download e-mail confirmation you may have spam filtering enabled and some messages will be automatically routed to your Bulk Mail or Junk Mail folder. If you do not receive the download confirmation message within a few minutes of your purchase, please check your spam/junk folder just in case the confirmation email got delivered there instead of your inbox.

If you still did not receive the e-mail with the download instructions, please contact us and we will e-mail you the purchased files.

4. Why can't I open the files in my graphics program?

Graphic File Overview: Vector File (.eps) vs. Raster or Bitmapped Files (.jpg) EPS files downloaded from ExtremeClipart.com are vector-based file formats. Vector files are made up of lines and nodes. Raster or Bitmapped images are pixel-based files. Vector files can be opened, imported, and edited without loss of quality in such programs as CorelDraw, Adobe Illustrator, and Macromedia FreeHand. Raster or Bitmapped files can be opened by most Window based PC's and can be edited in popular programs such as Adobe PhotoShop, and PaintShop Pro.

5. How come I can not manipulate the design after I import it into Corel Draw?

The problem maybe how CorelDraw interprets the file you're trying to import. You are probably selecting the EPS - Encapsulated Postscript option to open the .eps files. To solve this problem, try selecting the PS, PRN, EPS Post Script or AI - Adobe Illustrator option to import the file. To import the colored .eps files as true vector fills please import as .ai file.

6. What if I am having trouble downloading my design?

Most often this occurs do to popup-blockers in the browser, and most of the can be resolved by simply pressing and holding the "Ctrl-" (or MAC Command Key) key as you click on a download link.

You may though need to temporarily disable the popup-blocker. Click here to find out more on how to disable this.

7. If I see the artists signature on some clipart can I remove it in my design or logo?

If the artists signature it disrupts the integrity of your design you may omit or delete as needed.

8. What if I don't have Corel Draw™, do you have any other tips on how to import vector files in other applications?
