What do you receive?
A printable wall art product usually includes image files, often JPG or PNG, prepared for common frame shapes. Paper & Proof art packs include multiple ratios so one artwork can be printed in several sizes without forcing the wrong crop.
Use the product page to check how many artworks are included, which file types are supplied and whether the previews are watermarked. Preview images help you choose a design; the purchased download files are the printable files.
| What buyers often expect | What printable art actually means |
|---|
| A framed print arrives in the mail. | You receive digital files and arrange printing and framing yourself. |
| One file fits every frame perfectly. | Different ratios are supplied so you can choose the file that matches the frame shape. |
| The product preview is the print file. | Preview images help you choose a design; use the purchased download files for printing. |
| The file can be reused in products for sale. | Personal use is the default unless a product page clearly says otherwise. |
How does checkout and delivery work?
Paper & Proof live printable art products use Gumroad checkout. After purchase, Gumroad provides access to the download files. Save the files somewhere sensible before you upload them to a printer.
If you have trouble accessing the files, contact support with the product name and purchase email so the issue can be checked. Download questions are also covered in the Paper & Proof digital download FAQ.
Can you use printable art commercially?
Not by default. Paper & Proof printable art is for personal use unless a product page clearly offers a commercial licence. Personal use means printing for your own home, office, gift or personal space.
Do not resell the files, upload them to print-on-demand marketplaces, distribute them as your own product or use them in business branding unless a separate licence allows it.
What should you check before buying?
- Whether the product is a digital download only.
- How many artworks are included.
- Which ratios and file types are supplied.
- Whether the style suits the room or recipient.
- The refund and licence terms for digital products.
Planning more than one frame?Use a picture wall layout template before ordering prints so the frame sizes, wall width and spacing have been checked.
