Usage Rights
Last updated: Apr 11, 2026
PhotoCAD produces two types of vector files: gallery downloads (pre-made files available on the site) and conversion outputs (files you generate from your own photos). Each has different usage rights.
Gallery downloads
All vector files in the PhotoCAD gallery are 100% free for personal and commercial use. No attribution is required. You may:
- Download, modify, and use gallery files in any personal or commercial project
- Sell unlimited physical products made from the drawings (wall art, signs, jewelry, apparel, gifts, etc.)
- Use the files with any machine or software (laser cutters, CNC routers, plasma cutters, vinyl cutters, Cricut, Silhouette, etc.)
The only restriction is:
- You may not resell, share, or redistribute the digital files themselves. For example, you cannot upload a PhotoCAD DXF to your own Etsy shop as a digital download, bundle our files into a collection for resale, or host our files on another website. The files are for making things, not for reselling as digital products.
Conversion outputs
Files you generate using the PhotoCAD conversion tool (from your own uploaded photos) are yours to keep and use. The scope of commercial use depends on your plan:
| Plan | Usage rights |
|---|---|
| Free / Pay-As-You-Go (no subscription) | Personal use only |
| Hobby subscription | Personal use + individual commercial use (selling your own creations on Etsy, at local markets, etc.) |
| Pro / Business / Enterprise | Full unrestricted commercial use (businesses, teams, client work) |
Regardless of plan, you may not resell or redistribute the raw digital vector files themselves. You may sell physical products made from the files. This applies at every tier.
Summary
| Action | Gallery files | Your conversions |
|---|---|---|
| Use for personal projects | Yes, always | Yes, always |
| Sell physical products you make | Yes, always | Hobby plan and above |
| Use for client work | Yes, always | Pro plan and above |
| Resell the digital files | No | No |
