Cricut Design Space, which is a free online design software provided by Cricut, offers a library of images that are free to use commercially with no additional licensing required. Some of these images include fonts, shapes and symbols – all of which can be found in the “Free” section of Design Space.
Additionally, some third-party sites offer royalty-free images that can be used commercially without any additional fees or licensing.
