All tools

Free design assets

Photography, icons, illustrations, fonts and colour — the raw material that fills a layout. Most of the sources here are free to use, though licences vary and are worth checking.

In real designer stacks

The most common free design assets in the 39 public tool stacks designers have shared on QuickPick are Google Fonts (23 of 39), Freepik (15 of 39) and Unsplash (15 of 39). See how they compare with every other tool on the designer tech stack page.

How to choose design assets

Always check the licence

“Free” can mean personal use only, attribution required, or free for commercial work. The licence page is the source of truth, not the download button.

Keep a consistent set

Mixing icon or illustration styles from different sources quickly makes a design look unfinished. Pick one family and stick with it.

Prefer editable formats

SVG icons, variable fonts and layered source files are easier to adapt than flattened images.

Watch file size

Large photos and many font weights slow down websites. Compress images and load only the font weights you use.

Keep the ones you use in one place

QuickPick puts every tool you actually open one click away, with boards for inspiration and notes beside the work. Free to start.
