Search by keyword

Searching by keywords is a search function that is available on every of ACworks’ free websites: stock photos, vector graphics, clipart, illustrations, videos, animations. The search bar is displayed right on the top of the page and kept there when users move to other pages or scroll a page down. Since creators always add tags to the content submitted to ACworks, search by keywords will help users to find the images with related tags. To refine the search results, users can also search by images or filter more.

Search by similar images

Searching for similar images is another useful function that users can take advantage of when looking at free stock photos, images, clipart, vector graphics on ACworks websites. Search by similar images can be found (1) on the search bar area on the top of the page or (2) right below the search results after entering a keyword to search for images.

• (1) When you are trying to find free stock photos and vector graphics of the same kind, you simply click on the button “Search by image” in the search bar area, upload an image and wait for the results. The uploaded images should be smaller than 5MB. Some of these illustrations/vectors are from the same photographer, while others are not. If you can't find the perfect illustration at the moment, why not click on a vector that comes closest to the ideal? Maybe it contains even better recommendations! These similar compositions and styles may also be the key to inspire your creativity.
• (2) When you try to view the search results page, the Similar Images sections will be displayed right below the search results. You can see similar photos, illustrations and silhouette vectors at the same time. These new categories of material also provide you with more options.

Filter and sort by popular images or recently updated images

To help users refine the search results more easily, we choose to present the search results according to the publishing time (Recently) and the number of downloads (Popular). If you want to get the latest material, choose sort by Recent. If you want to get the most downloaded content, choose sort by Popular.

Filter and exclude keyword search

To show you the maximum amount of material in the library, we have relaxed the precision of the search. This is why you may occasionally see material such as "people" or "fruit" under the keyword search page for "people." If you don't like such search results, you can use the [Exclude Keywords], also located in the Refine Search field, to exclude those you don't want to see. If you exclude the keywords "people" and "fruit" in the above case, you can search for targeted people clips with greater precision. This function supports the exclusion of plural keywords/words at the same time. But remember to separate them with commas.

Filter and sort by dimensions of the images: horizontal or vertical

Photos and vector graphics uploaded to ACworks platform vary in dimensions. You can optimize the search results by sorting by dimensions/ shapes. Simply click on Vertical or Horizontal to search for the images with the right dimensions you want.

Filter more by including or excluding categories

To show you the maximum amount of material in the library, we have relaxed the precision of the search. This is why you may occasionally see material such as "people" or "fruit" under the keyword search page for "people." If you don't like such search results, you can use category filter function, which is also located within the Filter area. This function supports the inclusion and exclusion of plural categories at the same time. You can always adjust them as you wish.

Filter and search by color

Usually, color is not as helpful for vector image search as one might think ---- After all, most objects in human society are colorable. However, it is not so absolute (or even very useful) when searching for the category of people. After all, a part of the characters' fur color is even fixed. By searching by color, it is easy to limit the display of search results. In addition, you can also use this feature when looking for illustrations/vector images of people in colors that match the article or website.

Filter and search by Creator’s name, Images’ title & ID

Other filter functions you can take advantage of are filter by Creator’s name, images’ titles and IDs. If you are fans of specific creators or you are creators and you want to check how your submitted contents are displayed and downloaded on our sites, you can enter the name of creators to the filter and start searching. The same process is for the image's title and ID.

Search by Creator’s name is also useful for people who want to look for contents from ACworks creator to obtain extra licenses.
