Over 550 Photoshop Brush Packs Free for Commercial Use

This article was originally posted on August 26, 2008. This is one of our two most popular posts of all time on the blog so we wanted to go through it and make sure it was still up to date. There have been some changes, a handful of people had changed their licenses and some were gone all together. There are also quite a few new additions that we hope you’ll find useful. As a side note, we no longer know how many packs are included so we can’t guarantee the 550+ number.
As a compliment to our tutorial post for this week, 30 Tutorials That Will Teach You Photoshop, we thought Arbenting should put together a piece to go along with it. We have scoured the tubes to find you the coolest collection of commercial free-use Photoshop brush packs we could dig up. So check ‘em out and enjoy.
Brush Collections
57 misc sets including lots of hand drawn designs and people
31 brush sets, mostly abstract in nature. Lots of great textures, swirls and circle designs.
40 sets of misc themed brushes. Has quite a lot of animal skull brushes which I find kind of strange but some might find them useful.
52 brush sets. The moon & star set and the tree set really stand out.
236 brush packs – lots of gothic, art deco & animal brushes as well as a great selection of borders.
Sites That Distribute Free Brushes
All of the Arbenting Photoshop Brushes are free for both personal and commercial use with no attribution required.
Best of BittBox Part 1: High Resolution Photoshop Brushes – Here are some of the highlights of the site. While they don’t have a specific category for photoshop brushes, you can do a search for the term to find all of the great resources on the site.
Web Designer Lab also doesn’t have a specific category for photoshop brushes. However, since the majority of their resources are photoshop brushes, you can easily just browse their Resources category.
Hawksmont Universe doesn’t post brushes often but what they do post is quality.
Individual Brush Sets
By Smashing Magazine
- Innocent Invaders – 15 different creatures accompanied by 10 background illustrations
- Grunge Photoshop Brush Set – A huge pack of 74 high resolution brushes!

@Joe Blow – It would have been helpful to hear some of your suggestions or examples of what you think makes the blog unattractive. I also assume that the quote marks around design blog mean that you don’t see our site as a genuine design blog. I would love to know if you came to this conclusion based simply on the design of the site or if you actually read through some of our content before making the claim. Regardless, I’ll give a short explanation of what I like about the site design and why I chose to go with this design.
When designing my blog I wanted to do something that would make us stand out from other design blogs as well as show my personal style. I’m a huge color lover which is why I chose the bright color scheme. And, though I realize that the main ACD page isn’t around anymore, I designed the blog to be a wild, overgrown version of it. I thought the torn paper really enhanced the grungy, tangled look of the design and quite honestly, I just really liked it.
Again, if you would like to offer some constructive criticism, we completely welcome it.

Hey Angie, I think your site is great and I dig this page. I took a color theory class and passed with a high B, so I don’t think I’m wrong. I also admire your typographic and layout skillz
Keep up the great work and thanks for all the cool!!

@Rudiarsana – no problem, I’m glad we could give you some new resources.

It never ceases to amaze me how ungrateful and tasteless people can be. I stummbled upon this site and I am definitely going to come back. The layout and colorscheme are fine for goodness sakes, plus it’s easy to understand and laid out nicely. Don’t feel you have to justify yourself to someone that has nothing better to do than stroke their own ego by upsetting others… there is a lot to be said for keeping things to yourself.

@ nate – online anonymity is wonderful thing. So many people able to express themselves without inhibitions, boundaries, thought or consideration. It’s great!
No, but thanks so much for the kind words! Much appreciated.

I’ve been a web designer going on 8 years and I don’t understand the comment made by the guy at the top about this site being unattractive. This site was obviously well thought out. Everything is compartmentalized and looks very neat and organized. Some designers try to get really fancy with their layouts and forget the basics of userability. This is a clean design and the site is easy to navigate, as all sites should be.

Hey Krissy. I just checked all of the links and they’re working from my end. You should just have to click on one of the images and it will take you to the brush site.
