When looking for a suitable font for a project we often head on over to Dafont to see what’s on offer. Now there are many more options to acquire some lovely free fonts….and other neat stuff too.
Here’s are ten sites that offer Free fonts and other Free Graphic type goods.
Keep in mind that these are Commercial sites that also offer Goods for Sale, so while you are over there taking advantage of the freebies you may find something nice that you’d like to purchase too. They often Bundle multiple products together and sell at a cheaper Bulk Price. Having said that the Free Goods they offer are just that and do not require a purchase.
Another thing to note before exploring these sites is that many of them may require a sign up to access the Freebies and signing up also subscribes you to their mailing lists. I actually don’t mind that as I like to see what is new and available. However it’s something to be aware of.
- Pixel Surplus Over 25 offerings, mostly fonts and a few Graphic packs and mock ups. {email for mailing list is required}
- CraftBundles.com Cute phrases etc for Cutting Machines or printables. The freebies here are specifically designed for Crafters so are in Cutting Machine Friendly formats like .SVG .DXF .PNG or .EPS {A log in is required}
- FontBundles.net Over 25 Free fonts here, however some (not all) of the Free versions are “lite” and may not include all the ornaments and Glyphs and alternatives – Full versions are available to buy.
- The Hungry JPEG Fonts, Icons, Mockups, and Templates. A fabulous and generous variety of free goods.
- Design Cuts This was the first site I ever discovered that sold bundles and from which I purchased a font bundle! I love the fonts I got and use many in my Free Cut Files. They have a wide variety of freebies. Most of them relate to tutorials which use resources from their bundles. I have Photoshop Elements and have learned so much by following along with their tutes and using the freebies in this way.
- Creative Market They put up new Freebies weekly and they are there for the week only. Monday is the day to check and see what’s new 🙂
- Mighty Deals Free fonts but also Mockups, Digital Patterns, Icon and Photoshop Brushes and Resources. {Email Subscription is required and they email you download link and new deals}.
- Inky Deals 6+ pages of Freebies – Graphic elements and fonts. {Download link sent to email address }
- Deal jumbo 114 pages of Freebies! Fonts, Photos, Papers and much more. {Newsletter sign up required – They email download link.}
- The Fancy Deal Mostly fonts on offer for Free {download via cart system}
Grab a coffee and start gathering up some lovely free resources.
What can I use these Freebies for?
- Well the fonts are pretty self explanatory. Use them in whatever way you would use a normal font!
- PNG images – can be opened in Silhouette Studio – You can trace around them and some of the sweet graphics would make fabulous print and Cut Elements.
- SVG Files – may be opened in designer Edition. Just go into the cut settings to turn them to “Cut”
- Background papers. Again these are great in print and cut designs.
- Icons – Very simple minimalist shapes make great cut files or fill with colour for print and Cut.
- Mock ups – Do you sell goods or blog? – These are handy for testing out how a design looks. Not all mock ups are suitable to use. If you have Photoshop Elements or Photoshop you’d probably find these more useful.
- You may also gather up a few free Brushes or other tools that are handy to use with Photoshop or Illustrator.
Awesome post! Thank you so much for sharing these resources!
Great that you’ve found it Handy Nikki. Thanks 🙂
