Computer peeps- using a digital file

HOW?!? Chat Icon

Total dummy here, can barely use Word, and thats the only software I have on my PC.

I want to make some things ( banners, napkin rings, favor tags, that type of thing) for My kids birthday party.

I need a specific theme. So I don't know how to get an image. I found on etsy.com someone selling "Elements and Papers Digital Clipart "

Digital ...it also says " 2 seperate PNG files created at 300 dpi"


WHAT is this and how do I use it? Can I use these in word to create the things I mentioned above?

Any tips on how?

thank you sooo much!!!

First you don't need to pay for clipart. What are you looking for...I can probably find it free. I think png will work in word, but not sure. I know jpeg's will

ok. So PNG is a kind of file thats a picture. At the end of any file is a . (dot) something to say WHAT kind of file it is.

.jpg = Pictures

.tif = A document

.doc = MS word

etc.......

.png is basically a photo file. You can take a photo file, right click it and "save as" in your computer. You can then go back and insert that same image into a word document and use it.

Some files are copywrited, which means you have to pay for them, which looks like the case here. You can also google "Free jungle theme clip art" (or whatever your theme is) and see what you come up with.

300 dpi means dot per square inch. Basically the bigger the number the lerger the file. But if its lrger its also better clarity. So if you want to "stretch" it it should still look decent if you want to make it bigger.

I am using general explinations just to give you a point of reference. If you tell us what you need maybe we can find it and e-mail it to you :)

Re: Computer peeps- using a digital file

Pink Mod Monkey


So basically if I pay someone that has the file...This is the etsy file

Would I be able to then make the images bigger if needed, smaller etc in a word file?

Hmmm...Cant seem to post a link...
