Why so many newspaper tears and other paper graphics?
Paper elements (from newspaper tears to Post-its® (stickies) to school paper and letters) are the basis of many designers' toolboxes. They can be incorporated into many a graphic, and having quality paper images ready when needed can save time and money, which are both big client pleasers.
Do you have Photoshop paper tears (PSD files)?
We don't offer our paper tears in Photoshop format, but the JPEGs we do offer are extremely high quality, and visually indiscernible from Photoshop files.
How do I buy these graphics?
You can either
sign up for an account first, or you can simply browse the site and add items you want to your shopping cart. When you're ready to purchase your paper images, just click the "Checkout" button.
After you've agreed to our licensing terms and paid for your graphics, you will receive an email confirmation and a link to your purchased images.
What is the format of the full-sized images?
The purchased images are high resolution, super high quality JPEG files.
Do the files include clipping paths?
Yes. Every size file includes clipping paths, which are basically shapes embedded in the JPEG file that allow you to separate each paper element from the background. In this way you can place these images on any color background without worrying about off-color edges around the placed element.
Is there a time limit on downloading purchased images?
Yes. You have 24 hours from the moment your payment is confirmed to download the file(s) for that order. After that time, you will have to re-purchase. We do this to keep the cost of the images here low.
How can I use the images on this site after I've bought them/what are the usage restrictions on purchased images?
Please see our
licensing terms. Basically, you're allowed to use them for just about everything short of redistribution, for a period of ten years after your purchase. In this way it's a very loosely rights-managed license.
Why do the preview images have your logo on them?
That watermark is there to prevent free downloads. Your purchased images will not be watermarked.
Have any of the large files been upsampled?
No. All sizes are based on high-resolution scans, providing the large dimensions with great clarity.
What DPI are the downloaded files?
Each file is 300 DPI.
What color profile do these images have?
sRGB IEC61966-2.1
Can I buy more than one license at a time?
If you need more than one license - say for another designer that might need to use the graphic(s) separately from you - just update the quantity in your
cart to reflect the number of licenses you want.
During the checkout process and on my statement I see the name "Foundmyself." What is that?
Foundmyself is the name of our parent company, so rest easy - there are no dubious charges or anything like that.
Do you offer any payment methods other than PayPal?
Currently no. PayPal is quick and secure, though, and they allow you to use most major credit cards for payment. If you haven't tried it, give it a shot! (

Do you guys sell real paper?
Nope. All digital here! (No paper cuts, either).
