Graphic elements such as icons, images, and illustrations are essential in blog posts, websites, and business presentations. However, finding visuals that suit your needs can be challenging and often - quite expensive.

In this article, I will share a list of my favorite 8 resources where you can find free, high-quality graphics to use (no attribution needed). Let’s dive in!

1. Reshot (Icons, Illustrations)

Reshot offers a vast collection of free SVG icons (40,000+) and vector illustrations (1,500+). The best part? No attribution is required, and you can use these images for commercial purposes while also having the freedom to edit them.

unDraw is an extensive collection of open-source illustrations that are easily customizable using the on-site color picker. You can use any HEX color to match your project’s aesthetics.

7. DrawKit (Icons, Illustrations, Animations - Free and Paid)

While DrawKit offers both free and paid options, I had to include it, as it stands out for its impressive 3D illustrations and icons. If you’re willing to spend some money, DrawKit provides some of the most stunning visuals you can find.

  • Unsplash (free pictures).
  • Pexels (free stock photos and videos).

Additionally, I recommend checking out a website called WorldVectorLogo, where you can easily find SVG logos of famous companies, software, etc., saving you the hassle of searching through Google Images.
