how can i use your site?

if you know what you are looking for you can start with the surprisingly powerful search tool - the search box is located at the top and bottom of every page on our site. alternatively, you can head over to our browse page, where all our textures are categorized in all sorts of ways. the most relavent textures appear at the top of your searches/browses, but keep scrolling through the results to make sure you are getting exactly what you are looking for. if you are not exactly sure what you are looking for, there is a section on the browse page that links to some unique sets of textures, including: our editor's picks, most viewed textures and most purchased textures.

what is the licensing agreement?

we have made our licensing agreement very straightforward so our users can focus on their design work and not legalese! you can do anything you want with our textures other than resell or redistribute them as textures. our high-resolution images are royalty-free, so after you pay our flat rate for the download, it is your's to use as you wish. feel free to use them as a part of a webpage, in a magazine, in a video game, or print some textures and frame them to use them as room decor! you can use the textures as often as you like and however you like, except you cannot resell/redistribute our textures themselves. if you use one of our textures as a component of some product (a magazine, a game, a website), of course you can sell or give away that product, but not the texture alone. although we appreciate when we are given credit (linking to our homepage will help us continue to offer you our service), giving credit to UniqueTextures is not required.

are the textures altered in any way?

except in a few instances, no. although we could edit our textures to have more vivid colors or increased sharpness, we have endeavored to capture the real world as it is. we want to give our user's the power to customize our textures for your requirements. if you need to alter a texture, tools such as adobe photoshop, corel photo-paint and the gimp are more than capable.
