Openclipart vs Storyset

Openclipart is an online collection of more than 180,000 vector graphics, including clipart and icons. Its search function helps visitors find artwork, and clipart pages provide SVG downloads with instructions for Mac and Windows. Since the graphics are stored as SVG, they can be scaled, edited, or printed without deformation. Artists release uploads under the Creative Commons Zero 1.0 Public Domain License; the site says the artwork can be used for unlimited commercial purposes, including manufacturing products. Users may modify graphics and upload the results as remixes. Openclipart is free to use, and a free account is offered for donations. The Fabricatorz Foundation hosts and fiscally sponsors the project. Patrons receive ad removal when logged in, usage and copyright feedback, earlier feature access, priority email support, and vanity addresses. Developers can try the v2 API, which is in beta; its tutorial demonstrates authentication, app creation, and clipart search. Founded in 2004, the collection is available on the web, macOS, Windows, and through an API.
