I love playing around in Photoshop and with my Silhouette Cameo. Oh, and I also have a blog….just in case you couldn’t tell. ;) That means I’m always on the hunt for great digital resources, and few things make me happier than scoring an awesome find for FREE! Double points if it can be used commercially as well.
I decided to compile a roundup of all my favorite online joints that offer freebies because I know lots of you are like me: creative folks who enjoy quality free goodies, some of which you’ll be able to sell or use on your blog if you so decide.
Where to Find the Best FREE Digital Resources: Fonts, SVGs, Clip Art, & MORE!
Now, I know there are TONS of sites around the interwebs that claim to have free digital goods for downloading. This list is by no means all-inclusive.
Also, I don’t use some resources very often, such as vectors, stock photography, blog templates, or mockups, so those aren’t featured much in this collection….sorry!
These are just some of my favorites that I feel offer some really high-quality stuff, and I’ll be updating it periodically as I come across new ones.
Below are some high-level categories, and there’s also quite a bit of overlap, so a site listed in one category may also offer resources from another….make sure you check them all out!
Oh, and they’re also listed in no particular order….I’m not that OCD.
***NOTE: All of the information listed below is accurate as of post publication. Please make sure you read each site’s and file’s terms of use before downloading/using. And if you happen to come across a broken link, holla at cha girl and I’ll try and fix it/find a new one. Happy creating!***

Fonts
There are tons of free font sites out there, but some of them are a little fishy and like to sneak in viruses and malware with the downloads. These are some of my favorite (and safer) ones that I frequently use:

- Font Squirrel (all commercial-use too!)
- Font Space
- Kevin and Amanda (great handwriting fonts)
- Google Fonts (great web fonts to use on blogs)
- FreeTypography
- Fontspring
- A lot of the resources listed above in the Designer Grab Bag section frequently offer very high quality fonts as freebies, some with great dingbats and/or glyphs!
- Learn how to turn your own handwriting into a font for free HERE!

Ahh I’m going to have to stop coming here ;) it’s just enabling my addictions!! Haha of course I’m kidding–this list is great! I absolutely love Creative Market, and I just recently bought a bundle from the Hungry JPEG but a lot of these I had never heard of. I love all the SVG freebies! Thanks for posting this!

Sorry that I’m such a bad influence, Brittany. ;) Yes, Creative Market is a favorite of mine too! I also frequently snag the bundles that are offered there and at Design Cuts and The Hungry JPEG. I love digital goodies, especially when they’re free (or at least on sale)! :)

No problem, Kelly! Glad I could help! :)
