Clip Art now powered by Bing Images

The Office.com Clip Art and image library has closed shop. Customers can still add images to their documents, presentations, and other files that they have saved to their devices (phones, tablets, and PCs), OneDrive, and SharePoint.  Customers also still have the ability to add images to their documents using Bing Image Search.

Bing Image Search uses a copyright filter based on the Creative Commons licensing system.  The results that are returned are images that have been tagged with Creative Commons licenses.  A link to the source of the image is provided, which you should use to review the source of the image and the applicable license to determine whether your use will comply with the license. (The settings can be switched to show all web results to view more images.)  However, you are responsible for respecting others’ rights, including copyright. Learn more here.

  1. Is this new Bing clip-art vector-based like we used to have? I liked the clear sharp lines and being able to ‘ungroup’ the old clip art so I could change or remove parts.

  2. Will all the clip art images that was part of the library be published as creative commons? And if so what creative commons license?
