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 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.

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.
