Photoshop: Free Shape Sets There are heaps of good free sets of Shapes on the web. I've gathered up my favorites. This is not an exhaustive list but everyone of them is on my computer and I've tested them. More than that, I've listed the rights for each as at the time I downloaded them. So, if you're designing for commercial work, you'll know if you can use the set or if you need permissions - check the shape sets for the exact requirements for use commercially. Click any of the images to go direct to the download site and click here to learn how to install your new shapes.

These are my own shapes. There are 14 heart shapes paths for Photoshop. They are free to use for non commercial purposes. May not be given away and may only be downloaded from this site. Commercial licences are available.
These are a great collection of custom sunburst shapes for Photoshop. Some are regular shapes and others deliciously twisted and irregular. They are from thekiwilab.com - via my favourite site deviantart.com. These shapes are completely free to use without restriction. No link back is required but you can tell the designer if you found them useful.
This is a grab bag of shapes rendered in a range of styles - some very smooth vectors and some with very jagged edges. Some I like, some I don't but overall I think many are worth the time taken downloading them. Designer would like you to rate the images as a fave if you use them.
 Urban Designs Vector Shapes31 vector shapes This is another mixed bag but I love the buildings and some of the free form shapes and they are good quality shapes with good edges. You could create an entire graphic just using this collection because of its variety of objects. Designer has a clear cut set of usage guidelines which includes availability of a commercial licence.
Custom Shapes Mix This is a quirky bundle of shapes - unusual and I'm not sure I would use but half of them but the circular ones have retro feel aobut them that I love - sort of Photoshop shapes meets The Jetsons. Free to use. Designer would like to hear from you if yu use them. 
Paisley shapes These shapes look like they've been taken from an old lace doiley or something - not all are paisley but it is a pretty group of shapes - they would look great in scrapbooking or for lace effects. If you have trouble extracting from a .rar file use this link to download a regular zip file version.
14 flames shapes This is a simple but cute collection of flames. All the Graphics are free but hosting, selling and distributing of these shapes is not permitted.
A small but handy collection of cloud shapes. No licence information offered.
If you need a Digg or YouTube link that doesn't look like al the others this collection is for you - yummy hand drawn shapes for all your favorite sites. Free for personal and commercial use - no attribution required.
