What is Vecteezy?
Vecteezy is an online marketplace where designers license stock vectors, photos and video footage contributed by artists. The catalogue also includes templates, motion graphics, bundles and files in SVG, PNG and PSD form, plus editorial images. Some resources can be downloaded at no cost under a free license that requires attribution; others are reserved for Pro subscribers. Pro removes the attribution requirement and ads, and adds unlimited downloads, including 4K video. All content is royalty free, so a licensed file can be reused without per-use fees. Search works by keyword or by uploading an image. The site also lists a background removal tool, a QR code generator, enterprise and education offerings, a contributor programme, and a REST API for developers with free, pay-as-you-go and business tiers. Vecteezy is operated by Eezy LLC.
