What is a clip art style preset?

A preset is a named art direction with a frozen contract behind it. Choosing one fixes five things for every piece in your pack — the palette rule, the line treatment, the shading treatment, how the subject is isolated, and how it is framed — so a 40-piece set looks like one set rather than 40 separate generations.

Why does every preset show the same six subjects?

Holding the subjects constant is the only way to compare styles honestly — if each preset showed something different you would be comparing subjects, not styles. Six rather than one because a single drawing shows you that drawing, not the rule the style follows. The set runs from a fox to a cottage on purpose: some styles are strong on fur and weak on hard geometry, and others are the reverse, so the spread shows you where a style breaks as well as where it shines. None of the subjects has a fixed colour, which leaves each preset free to assert its own palette.

Can I change the style after I start a pack?

Yes. The style is set when the pack is planned, and you can edit the brief and re-plan before anything renders. Once you accept your first render the pack's style kit takes an anchor image, and later pieces are matched to it.

Do presets cost anything to browse or choose?

No. Browsing presets and planning a pack are both free. Credits are spent only when you tell the board to render.

Eighteen styles. The same six subjects.

Every preset below is drawn on an identical set of subjects, so the only thing that can differ between two of them is the style. Each one is a contract: pick it and every piece in your pack follows the same palette, line, shading, and framing rules.

Build a pack Make a single image

Locked, not suggested

A preset is prepended to every element prompt verbatim, so the model cannot reinterpret it halfway through a 40-piece set.

Five fixed axes

Palette, line, shading, background, and framing. The axes are what make two renders of the same style match.

Yours to reuse

The style your first pack settles on becomes a saved kit, so pack two can be locked to pack one's exact look.

Bold & simple

Shapes that survive being shrunk. Icon sets, worksheets, and anything printed small.

Flat

The safe default. Reads cleanly at any size and prints without surprises.

Palette: solid fills only, no gradients anywhere
