Freepik Commercial License
Yes, Freepik Premium accounts do allow commercial use of the resources provided. When you have a Freepik Premium subscription, you gain access to a broader range of resources, and you are permitted to use them for commercial projects, including marketing materials, products, and advertisements.
However, it’s important to follow Freepik’s license terms closely. For example:
You can use the resources without attribution when you have a Premium account. You cannot redistribute the resources as-is (e.g., selling the files on another platform), but you can use them within a project. There may still be some limits depending on the type of resource (e.g., some assets may have specific conditions). Always check the specific license for each resource, as Freepik’s general terms may update over time.

Envato Elements Commercial License
Yes, Envato Elements Premium accounts come with a commercial license that allows you to use the assets for a wide variety of commercial purposes. Envato Elements offers a subscription-based service where you can download graphics, templates, fonts, videos, and more, and all downloads come with a commercial use license.
Key points about Envato Elements’ commercial license:
Commercial Use Allowed: You can use assets for both personal and commercial projects, such as creating products for sale, client projects, marketing, advertisements, and other business-related uses.
No Attribution Required: When you have a Premium account, attribution is not required, so you don’t need to credit the creator unless you choose to.
Unlimited Downloads with License: For each asset you download, you need to register a license. Once registered, the license is tied to a specific project, and you can use that asset for that project commercially.
End Products for Sale: You can use assets to create end products for sale, like physical items (e.g., t-shirts, mugs) or digital items (e.g., website designs, videos).
Non-Exclusive License: The license is non-exclusive, meaning other people can use the same asset you’ve downloaded. It doesn’t grant you ownership of the asset, just the rights to use it under the license.
Usage Restrictions:
You Cannot Redistribute the Files As-Is: You cannot take an asset and resell, share, or distribute it in its original format (e.g., selling a stock photo as a stock photo or including the asset in a resource pack).
One License per Project: Each asset download is licensed for a specific project. If you want to use the same asset in a different project, you must register a new license (which is free as long as your subscription is active). The license from Envato Elements is quite flexible for commercial use, but always double-check the license terms to ensure you’re compliant with any specific conditions they may apply.

Creative Fabrica Commercial License
Yes, Creative Fabrica All Access Subscription accounts allow commercial use of the resources provided under their subscription. When you have a Premium subscription on Creative Fabrica, you can use the assets, including fonts, graphics, templates, and more, for both personal and commercial projects.
Here are some key points about the Creative Fabrica Premium commercial license:
You may use these resources to create end products for sale, such as t-shirts, mugs, prints, and more. Fonts and graphics can also be incorporated into marketing materials, social media content, websites, and other commercial designs. Attribution is not required when using resources under a Premium account. However, as with Freepik, you are not permitted to redistribute the assets in their original form—this includes reselling or offering them for download without significant modification. Always review the specific licensing terms attached to each resource, as some may include additional restrictions or conditions.

Etsy Commercial Terms of Service
Purchasing content from either platform and using them commercially depends on the specific terms set by the seller, not just Etsy’s overall Terms of Service (TOS). Etsy itself is a marketplace platform, so sellers have the ability to set their own licensing terms for the products they sell. Here are key considerations:
Seller-Provided License: When buying digital images on Etsy, you need to look at the individual product listing or contact the seller to confirm the license terms. Some sellers may allow commercial use, while others may restrict it to personal use only.
Commercial License: Some Etsy sellers explicitly offer commercial licenses, either included in the product or available for an additional fee. This will allow you to use the images for purposes such as selling products, marketing, or other commercial ventures.
Attribution Requirements: Some commercial licenses may still require attribution to the original creator, so be sure to read any conditions about crediting the work.
Resale Restrictions: Even if a commercial license is provided, you generally cannot resell the images “as-is.” You can use them to create new products (e.g., designing t-shirts, posters, etc.), but you can’t simply resell the image itself.
Steps to Ensure Compliance:
Check the Listing: Look for any notes on commercial usage in the product description.
Message the Seller: If the license terms aren’t clear, reach out directly to the seller for clarification.
Keep Proof of License: If a seller grants you a commercial license, keep a copy of the agreement or terms in case of future disputes.
