Frequently asked questions

What is digital art? Digital art is technology-driven artwork. Things like computer-generated visual media, animated images, and 3D works are all forms of digital art.   

How do I make prints of digital art? If you’re making your digital art in PicMonkey, you can size it how you want, then download as a PNG or JPG file for printing. Check out our guide, How to Make a High Resolution Image for Print or Web, for more help.

How do I make digital art look vintage? For something hand-drawn, use our Edge Sketch effect. However, we have a bunch of other vintage-style effects that you can use, like Dusk, Time Machine, Yester Color, Sepia, or Black and White. Each will give your image its own unique throwback look.
