Printing, Cutting and Style Tips
Every animal saves as a square PNG of 1000 pixels. Printed at 300 dpi, that stays sharp to roughly 3 inches across, which is a good size for game cards and labels. On a screen you can stretch it much larger.
| Style | Good for | Print tip |
|---|---|---|
| Cute and Sticker | Rewards, name tags | Use glossy sticker paper |
| Realistic and Watercolor | Reports, cards | Matte paper keeps soft colors true |
| Line art | Coloring, tracing | Print in black ink only |
| Silhouette | Window art, cut files | Leave a gap around thin legs |
If you see a white square around an animal in a word processor, change its text wrap setting to In Front of Text. The see-through edges then let your page color show.
Questions people ask
Can I use this animal clipart for free?
Yes, at home, in a classroom, at school and in projects nobody pays for. Credit is optional, but a small mention makes our day. Reselling the picture files or folding them into bundles is off limits, and if an animal will end up on something you sell, ask through our Contact page first.
Where can I find cute animal clipart for kids?
Start with the cute section at the top of this page, then visit a group page like our dog or penguin clipart for more cartoon animals. The Cute and Sticker styles use thick lines and happy faces that young kids spot right away.
Do you have animal clipart black and white for coloring?
Look for the panda and the teddy bear, which are plain outlines waiting for crayons, and the safari silhouette is good for cutting. For bigger pictures with more to color, try our animal coloring pages, which fill a whole sheet.
Is there wild animals clipart in black and white?
The elephant, giraffe and lion silhouette is all black, so it prints cheaply and cuts cleanly. Many wild animal group pages, like the bear and lion and tiger galleries, also have a line art or silhouette section.
Are these clipart animals transparent PNG files?
All of them. Each animal saves with an empty, see-through area around it, so only the animal shows. Flip through the background preview, from plain white to chalkboard green, to judge the look before you save.
Do you have animal cell clipart for science class?
Not as a picture yet. For now, our science clipart page has lab tools and nature pictures that work well beside a diagram you draw with the class.
