Clipart sizes are stuff that we should at least have some knowledge of. The dimensions of every clipart are adjustable so we can fit it well in a document or so we can tweak its size to better communicate its message, and with that said, it’s essentially important to pick the right standard size for a clipart.

Clipart Sizes Standard
1200 x 1800 pixels
A clipart with 1200 x 1800 pixels looks very crystal clear enough. Cliparts with this custom pixel measurement can be used as logos, infographics, labels, or simple decorative digital art on a poster or document. Graphic design studios or even amateur users of graphics will have no trouble adjusting cliparts to 1200 x 1800 pixels.
1500 x 2100 pixels
If you want a clipart resolution that’s slightly better than the previous one we’ve discussed, the 1500 x 2100 pixels standard size would be an excellent choice. In both length and width, it’s 300 pixels higher. Cliparts with 1500 x 2100 pixels can be used as visual communication tools to present data, not just as a mere decorative element or illustration in a document.
2400 x 3000 pixels
Cliparts with 2400 x 3000 pixels are large in comparison with other more common clipart sizes. Since cliparts with this resolution are of high quality, they’re suitable to be used as photo backgrounds for PowerPoint presentations, classroom presentations, digital marketing material, website banners, and more. You’ll need to have a quite spacious blank document to accommodate 2400 x 3000-pixel cliparts.
3300 x 4200 pixels
Cliparts with 3300 x 4200 pixels are some of the most HD cliparts available in the digital world. These digital drawings can stand on their own as masterfully-crafted digital artwork. Because of their large size, they can boost the catchiness of a document’s aesthetics and they can take up almost the entire outline of a sheet.
