Whether for personal use or for commercial production, our non-exclusive license allows you to use the purchased design worldwide and for a period of 10 years. However, you cannot sublicense the purchased design. You can use the drawing to :

All downloadable files are in high resolution (300 dpi).
What is the difference between a .PSD and .AI (or .EPS) file ?
An image in PSD (Photoshop) format cannot be enlarged without loss of definition. This means that if you decide to enlarge a .PSD drawing, the drawing will lose quality (pixelated drawing). This type of format can be edited with Adobe Photoshop.
An AI (illustrator) or EPS (other vectoring software) format file, on the other hand, is expandable, which means that you can reduce and increase the scale of the drawing without losing quality and smoothness. This type of file can be edited with vectorization software such as Adobe Illustrator.
Can I modify a design that I have purchased ?
If you have purchased a drawing with its .PSD (Photoshop layers) or .AI / .EPS (Vector files) source file, you can edit this source file to possibly modify the colors and / or the print scale (be careful if you decide to enlarge a drawing.
