Do you have so many bookmarks that you actually don't use any of them? There are a million free design resources out there. And a million and one resources compiling those resources. If you're overwhelmed by all of the options, then here's some more! 😉

These are my personal essentials.

Images

Free Photos and Background Images

• Unsplash

Take and Edit Screenshots

• Greenshot

TIP: There may be a better way to do this, but I sometimes use this screenshot tool to estimate the size or aspect ratio an image needs to be. I have "Capture Region" configured to use the PrtSc hot key. You can then select a region and it gives you the dimensions.)

Free Vector Illustrations

• Undraw

TIP: You can select the hex code for the illustrations
