Oil Slick
Oil Slick is a dark holographic background built from a purple and teal palette. It reads as hologram, chrome and oil slick. It was drawn with social media posts, youtube thumbnails and marketing in mind. Like every design in the Pixoate library it is generated, not photographed, so it renders pixel-sharp at any size — from a profile picture to a 4K poster — and you will not find it in anyone else's stock library.

- What resolution is the Oil Slick background?
- Any resolution you need. The design is generated from a vector recipe at the moment you use it, so it is rendered to fit your exact canvas — a square profile picture, a 4K wallpaper or a print poster — with no upscaling and no blurring.
- Can I use Oil Slick commercially?
- Two things sit inside a finished image. You keep ownership of the files you upload and the results you create — we claim no rights in them. The Oil Slick design behind your subject is Pixoate artwork, and commercial use of Pixoate artwork runs through the commercial-use license. Every active paid plan and paid pass includes commercial use: you may use, edit and print Pixoate assets in your own or client work. You may not sell or redistribute a Pixoate asset by itself as stock, an asset pack or a template.
