Legal

Last updated: July 7, 2026

Terms of Use

clipart studio is a free tool for making digital collages from magazines. By using it, you agree to these terms. It is a personal, non-commercial side project, provided as-is and free of charge.

The magazines

The magazines shown in clipart studio are streamed from the Internet Archive and are not hosted by us. We do not own them and make no representation about their copyright status or your right to reuse any particular image. You are responsible for ensuring that your own use of any material — including collages you make, save, or share — is lawful and, where it relies on someone else's copyrighted work, qualifies as fair use or is otherwise authorized.

The gallery

If you submit a collage to the public gallery, you confirm that:

you made it, and you have the right to share the material in it;
it does not infringe anyone's copyright, trademark, privacy, or other rights; and
it is not unlawful, hateful, harassing, sexually explicit, or otherwise objectionable.

By submitting a collage you grant us a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to display and store it for the purpose of operating the gallery. You can ask us to remove your submission at any time.

We may remove any content and restrict or remove access for any user, at our discretion — including for repeated copyright infringement. See Copyright & Takedown below.

Acceptable use

Don't use clipart studio to break the law, infringe others' rights, overload or disrupt the service, or scrape or resell its content. Don't misrepresent ownership of material you upload.

No warranty

clipart studio is provided "as is," without warranties of any kind. We don't guarantee it will be available, error-free, or that any content is accurate, lawful, or fit for a particular purpose.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of clipart studio. Your use is at your own risk.

Changes

We may update these terms from time to time. Continued use after changes means you accept the updated terms.

This is a plain-language starting point, not legal advice.

Privacy

clipart studio tries to collect as little as possible. There are no accounts and no advertising.

What we collect

Collages you submit to the gallery. The image, and the optional name you type, are stored so the gallery can display them. Don't submit anything you wouldn't want shown publicly.
Basic technical logs. Like most websites, our hosting provider processes standard request data (such as IP address and browser type) to serve pages, cache images, and protect against abuse.
Local storage in your browser. clipart studio saves things like your recent magazines and in-progress work on your own device. This stays in your browser; we don't receive it.

What we don't do

We don't sell your data, we don't run ads, and we don't build advertising profiles. We don't ask you to create an account.

Removing your submission

Want a collage you posted to the gallery taken down? Email hello@clipart.studio and we'll remove it.

Third parties

Magazine images are streamed from the Internet Archive, and fonts load from Google Fonts; your browser contacts those services to fetch that content. Our site is served through a hosting and CDN provider that processes request data on our behalf.

Copyright & Takedown Policy

clipart studio is a free, non-commercial art tool for making digital collages. We respect copyright and respond to valid notices of claimed infringement under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), 17 U.S.C. § 512.

How the magazines work. The magazines you browse in clipart studio are not stored on our servers. They are streamed directly from the Internet Archive at the moment you open them. If an item is removed from the Internet Archive, it stops appearing here as well. You can report a magazine to the Internet Archive directly, or send us a notice using the process below and we will block it from clipart studio.

Reporting infringing material

Two kinds of content can appear in clipart studio:

Magazines streamed from the Internet Archive, and
User-submitted collages posted to the public gallery.

If you are a copyright owner (or authorized to act for one) and believe material accessible through clipart studio infringes your copyright, you may send a written notice by email (see below).

What a takedown notice must include

To be valid under § 512(c)(3), your notice must include substantially the following:

A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a person authorized to act on their behalf.
Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed.
Identification of the material claimed to be infringing, with enough detail for us to locate it — for a gallery item, the URL or image link; for a magazine, the title and the Internet Archive identifier.
Your contact information (name, address, telephone number, and email).
A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
A statement, made under penalty of perjury, that the information in your notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on their behalf.

Where to send notices

Send copyright notices to hello@clipart.studio. We review takedown requests promptly and will remove infringing material from the gallery.

Counter-notification

If your collage was removed from the gallery and you believe it was removed in error (for example, you own or are licensed to use the material, or your use is non-infringing), you may send a counter-notice to the email above including:

Your signature.
Identification of the material that was removed and where it appeared before removal.
A statement, under penalty of perjury, that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed as a result of mistake or misidentification.
Your name, address, and telephone number, and a statement consenting to the jurisdiction of the appropriate court and to accept service of process from the complaining party.

Repeat infringers

We will, in appropriate circumstances and at our discretion, restrict or remove access for users who are the subject of repeated valid infringement notices.
