Frequently Asked Questions

What size are the images?

The images are available in high resolution (print size, 300 dpi), or low resolution (sized for the web and to be viewed on screens (low resolution, 72 dpi).

Each image will state the dimensions and resolution when you select your preferred size on product pages. Most image dimensions are 16.667″ x 16.667″, although some may vary such as pattern designs.

How can I use the images?

When you purchase an image, you have the right to use that image for the following commercial uses:

  1. Worldwide, royalty-free use.
  2. Unlimited digital use.
  3. Reproduction/print run limited to 500,000 copies.

Each use of an image requires a unique license. If you would like to use the same image in two different projects, you must purchase two licenses.

Review the licensing agreement for more details.

How Can I edit the images?

Stock images are solely for the use in creating new illustrative, editorial or other originally created materials. You may sell new illustrations and artistic works that contain the stock image, provided that the stock image is not resold as a stock image.

Many of the illustrations are designed to be cropped and/or cut out and contain transparent backgrounds for this purpose. The exception includes pattern designs and editorial illustrations which may have a background color. Image cropping is available in most image editing software including Adobe Photoshop, or you can use Pixlr to edit images for free.

Do I have to credit you as the illustrator when I use an image?

For all uses but editorial, credit is not required (though I don’t mind if you do!)

For editorial use, a credit line of “Illustration by Susan DiFelice” is required. If the image is online and you want to link back to this site, it is much appreciated! You can copy and paste: Illustration by Susan DiFelice

Will the files I download have a watermark?

No, the watermark will be removed.

If I want to purchase an exclusive license for an image, how will you know it's not been used by someone else?

My software allows me to track when and by whom an image was downloaded. If you are interested in an exclusive license, just let me know which image you are looking at and I can check for you.

Can I put text over the illustrations?

Yes, you can modify the illustrations in any way you wish as long as you don’t resell them.

Do you have a model-release for all your images?

I do! Every recognizable person who appears in an image in this library has signed a model release.

Once I have downloaded an image, can I download it again without being charged?

Yes. You may download an image you have purchased as often as you would like.

Where can I find the images I have purchased?

Go to the My Account page on the https://susandifelice.com website and click on Downloads. You will have to log in to view your downloads.
