Openclipart, also called Open Clip Art Library, is an online media repository of free-content vector clip art. The project hosts over 150,000 free graphics and has billed itself as "the largest community of artists making the best free original clipart for you to use for absolutely any reason." All of Openclipart's content is public domain due to expired copyright, failing to reach the threshold of originality, or being deeded into the public domain to the greatest legal extent possible by its owners.[1][failed verification]

The website was brought down for several months by a reported DDoS attack in April 2019;[2] access to the library via other means was still possible, including partial copies of the library that were hosted on several mirror sites. The site's search feature was restored in May 2020.[3]

Packages and apps

  • Inkpad for iPad, with Openclipart Integration.[4]
  • The vector graphics editor Inkscape can import vector graphics online from Openclipart to one's current workspace. (For Inkscape on Windows, one needs the latest build, ≥ 0.49.)[5]
  • Microsoft Office app[6]
  • Google Docs Add-on[7]
  • LibreOffice extension[8]
  • iOS Clipart,[9] iOS PosterMaker[10]
  • Clipart Search, Openclipart for Android[11]
  • Clipart plugin[12] for WordPress
  • Clipart plugin[13] for Moodle
  • Linux distributions

Some Linux distributions, including Mandriva and Ubuntu, include many of the Openclipart collection releases packaged as SVG, PNG or OpenDocument-format files.[14] These distributions are based on the 2005 pre-ccHost release, since regular releases stopped after the switch to ccHost software. Openclipart 0.19, the first version released after the switch, was released in March 2009. With the release of version 2.0 and updated packages, distributions have bugs filed in their respective bug trackers to begin packaging Openclipart once more.

Openclipart was included on the cover discs in Linux Format issues 123 and 132 as a package of browseable SVG files from the Openclipart collection.[15][16]
