🖼️ Using

How can I use these designs and which file do I choose?

• Your Standard Licence - what you can use these designs for:

These designs come with a Standard Licence and they are perfect for personal use - wall art, art prints, posters, gifts (including cards and wrap), backgrounds, contemporary projects, stationery, and clothing. They can also be used for social media accounts, and blogs.

If your are using these designs as described above, this is the perfect licence for you.

Under this licence, artworks and designs cannot be sold as end products or part of commercial products. However, you can purchase an Extended Licence, per print, which will enable you to onsell the image with a few conditions (see page 12 for details on extended licences).

2. Why did I receive so many files per artwork?

Every artwork purchased contains six files, designed to give you ultimate flexibility.

There are three differently sized copies of your chosen print in both jpeg and in .PDF formats (six files in total for each artwork).

There’s a good reason for this. It’s all about looking after you!

It’s often not easy to change one size into another because changes to ratios cause unwanted cropping, stretching or squeezing. These options help to make sure important elements of the design are preserved, no matter what size you need.

Now why jpg and PDF? In short, if you want to print using your home printer you might want to use the jpg files. If you want to send to a printer .PDF is probably better.

But more about this in the next section on printing...

There are three formats to cover the different size dimensions of most frames - 3x4, 4x5 and A-Series (A2, A3 etc). Each file is a large, high resolution image, so that you can print poster size, should you wish, or scale down to a smaller print.

A-Series = 59.4cm x 42cm (A2 Size)

4 x 5 = 24 inches x 30 inches

3 x 4 = 24 inches x 32 inches

💡 Hot tips for using your files:

Print & Frame—Upload your files to a local or online print service to create posters, wall art, cards, gift wrap, stationery and more.

Edit in Canva – Open the files in Canva to resize, crop, or add text before printing. You can then re-download or utilise Canva’s direct to door print service.

Go Digital – Use the artwork as wallpapers for your phone, tablet, or desktop.

🖨️ Printing

How can I make printing easy?

The file sizes that you have been provided are to assist you in avoiding unwanted cropping that looks odd or unpleasing.

When it comes to printing your artwork, you have plenty of options:

At-home printing

• Use the JPG files for best results.

• Select high-quality paper (such as matte or satin photo paper) to make the colours pop.

• Always choose the highest print settings on your printer to get a sharp result.

Professional or local print shop

• Many printers prefer PDF files because they are set to CMYK, the standard for professional printing.

• Bring your file on a USB or email it directly to the printer.

• Ask for a paper stock that suits your style — thicker, textured papers can make your print feel premium.

Online print services

• Upload your file directly to online printing platforms.

• You can often select framing, canvas, or poster formats and have them delivered to your door.

💡 Tip: Always check the preview before printing to make sure the artwork fits perfectly within your chosen size.

🔑 Limited Digital Edition Keys

What is a Limited Edition Digital Design?

A few of my series are offered as limited edition works and they come with a unique key assigned to each buyer. When the limited edition digital run is sold out (usually 250 - 500 copies depending on design), it is removed from sale.

Limited Digital Editions:

• They come with a standard licence only. An extended licence is not available on these designs to retain their limited run quality.

• In addition to the signed digital files you receive:

  • A Certificate of Authenticity

  • Your unique Limited Digital Edition Key

  • Links to Canva files (see below) where you can add your unique key before printing. This can be done using a free Canva account.

Here’s how to add your edition key using Canva:

• Click the correct Canva link for your chosen size:

  • A-Series link

  • 4:5 link

  • 3:4 link

• Select “Use template” (you only need a free Canva account).

• In Canva, go to the left-hand menu and choose Uploads.

• Click the purple “Upload files” button and upload your design with the same dimensions as the template (A-Series, 3:4, or 4:5).

• Once uploaded, click on your design to add it to the template.

• Adjust the scaling if needed by dragging the handles until the image reaches the edges of the frame.

• Find the text box in the bottom-left corner (hover if you can’t see it) and type in your unique edition key — you’ll find this in your purchase email.

• When finished, click Share → Download and save the updated file to your device.

• Print or use your artwork as normal — now it includes your personal edition number.

💡 Tip: Print your Certificate of Authenticity and attach to the back of the framed design.

💼 Licences for Use

Tell me about Licences for Use

STANDARD LICENCES

As mentioned earlier, all digital downloads sold through katealexander.studio automatically include a Standard Licence.

This licence is for personal, non-commercial use only.

It allows you to print and use the design you purchased for your own enjoyment — for example, wall art, art prints, posters, gifts (including cards and wrap), backgrounds, contemporary projects, stationery, and personal clothing. They can also be used for social media accounts, and blogs.

EXTENDED LICENCES

If you wish to use a design beyond personal use — for instance, to sell printed products or incorporate the artwork into items for sale — you’ll need an Extended Licence.

Extended Licences provide additional flexibility, including limited commercial use, as outlined below.

They are available for designs in the curated collections for an additional cost, but not available for Limited Edition Digital Artworks (LEDAs).

Once an Extended Licence is purchased, the design files are resent without the signature overlay.

To purchase an extended licence, please review the terms below, purchase the design on the website to receive the standard licence, and then contact support@katealexander.studio with the design name(s) for which you wish to hold an extended license.

The cost is typically an additional AUD $20–30 per design.

Extended Licence — Terms of Use

You may:

• Use the design on physical products for sale (e.g. t-shirts, mugs, stationery, posters, prints).

• Modify or adapt the design for your own branded product line.

• Produce up to 1000 units without additional licensing.

You must:

• First purchase the design through the website to receive a standard licence.

• Create your own product mock-ups; you cannot use any imagery or mock-ups from katealexander.studio.

• Purchase one licence per design you intend to use commercially.

You may not:

• Resell, share, or redistribute the original digital files (.jpg, .pdf, etc.) in any form.

• Sell or include the designs as digital downloads, clipart, templates, or as part of any digital asset bundle.

• Use the design in a way that competes directly with katealexander.studio.

• Upload unwatermarked, high-resolution versions of the design online in a way that allows others to extract or copy it easily.
