While it could be expected that having a single offering that encompasses everything would mean that the quality is poor I very rarely have an issue finding relevant content in Envato.“ August 31, 2022 AM Amr M Instructional Designer.Higher Education, 11 - 50 employeesUsed the software for: 1-2 years. “The technical support is not as responsive as I expected it would be.“ May 1, 2022 MG Markus G FounderFinancial Services, 2 - 10 employeesUsed the software for: More than 2 years. “For comparatively little money, envato offers a variety of templates, videos and images of the highest quality.“ December 5, 2022 AM Amr M Instructional Designer.Higher Education, 11 - 50 employeesUsed the software for: 1-2 years. “Envato Elements platform is rich in creative designs, graphics, images, templates, and almost every content type I might need to create professionally-designed content.“ May 1, 2022 AK Adam K Branding and Technology DeveloperOnline Media, 2 - 10 employeesUsed the software for: More than 2 years. “After signing up for their free trial and liking what we found to use, I started poking around more and quickly signed up for a full membership.“ February 21, 2023 ## Showing most helpful reviews Showing 1-25 of 36 Reviews Sort by: Most Helpful Rating Company Size Reviewer's Role Length of Use Frequency of Use Ursula F.

I still have a lot of things I used from the downloads I have, this year I paused for a bit because it is too pricey . Pros It has such a broad selection of elements to download, from mockups to type to sound. Absolutely everything I need for designing, social media, brand development and presentations. Cons It's so expensive, maybe if I had a bigger agency it would be worth it. Alternatives considered [Flaticon](https://www.capterra.com/p/266947/Flaticon/) Reason for choosing Envato The big selection of elements and the fact that it also includes fonts. Switched from [Flaticon](https://www.capterra.com/p/266947/Flaticon/) I switched from freepik. I saw a lot of elements in freepik used in several platforms, I feel Envato is still more selective.

I've used it for over 10 years, and I've seen them grow from a website template site to an everything creative site. I recommend them to everyone. Pros Their price and quality. I love how I can download raw files like .psd, .ai, ppt, or raw audio files. They filters are great, and the pricing is way lower than a Shutterstock. Cons Sometimes it takes awhile to load files. I wish they would update their assets more often with fresh creatives. They don't have a large influx of artists updating their assets. Alternatives considered [Freepik](https://www.capterra.com/p/10023365/Freepik/) Reason for choosing Envato Way better quality and overall selection at Envato Switched from [Freepik](https://www.capterra.com/p/10023365/Freepik/) Freepik's quality isn't the greatest, and it's hard to find what you want.

Demand Generation Manager Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Easily the Best Stock Media Solution on the Market" March 30, 2023 5.0 The overall experience has been fantastic. The tool does exactly what we require of it and it keeps our team productive. Pros Paying for unlimited use of the system is by far the best thing about Envato Elements. I have used other systems where you have to load budget into the solution, you're capped to a certain amount of downloads and then you're stuck filling up the tool with money again. Envato makes it easy to split out projects and download the resources necessary to get the job done rather than hitting a cap and stopping your momentum as you wait to get budget approval from your finance team. As a marketer, this is the BEST tool you could want if you're video editing, designing on the Adobe suite, or doing website work where you require a vast selection of stock images. It's simple to use and frictionless! Cons Honestly, zero negative things to say about Envato Elements. I have often referred this tool to other marketers and designers. I have made sure that every place I have worked since I started using the tool 5+ years ago has this tool as well. It's so useful and it makes it easy to carry the momentum forward on a marketing or design project when you aren't worried about limitations or download caps. Review Source MCS Mahazi Christian S. Envato E-Learning Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Envoto elements " December 11, 2024 5.0 I use Envato Elements for my design and video projects, sourcing everything from stock photos to video templates. It’s saved me countless hours and the cost of purchasing individual assets, while providing high-quality content that elevates the final product. Pros There IS a Vast library of assets, including graphics, templates, fonts, audio files, and stock photos. and unlimited downloads with a single subscription, making it cost-effective for frequent use. most of contents are High-quality content. Easy-to-use search and categorization tools for quickly finding what you need. Regular updates to the library, keeping content fresh and relevant. Cons A Limited selection of some niche categories like certain types of specialized illustrations or animations. The licensing terms could be clearer regarding the use of assets in large-scale commercial projects. Review Source ML Margaret L. Owner - Administrator E-Learning Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Envato Elements Offers A Great Bundle Of Creative Resources" September 27, 2024 5.0 I have been using Envato Elements for over 5 years. It's a valuable resource that has provided me with website templates and the use of licensed video and audio files. Also, it's easy to read the licensing agreements (which I recommend reading before use). Envato also provides free files each month with a license for use with one project. Pros It's an amazing software, however I love the beautiful templates from Envato best. They are like no others that I have tried, including those from WordPress. They are built SEO friendly and offer all the updated enhancements that are needed for use and to attract clicks without being intrusive. Cons It offers more information than I need, so I feel that I pay for many elements that I don't need. Review Source Andrew B. Owner/Operator Apparel & Fashion Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "16 bucks for Envato is like stealing home in the bottom of the ninth, it's that good!" April 7, 2022 4.0 Envato has been great for me. My site, and the t-shirts i've been making since I've discovered it look wonderful. Business has increased and i say a ton of time when i would normally be scouring the internet for graphics and themes. Pros You get all the themes, graphics, and audio samples you could ever want but the templates for things like eBooks are by far the best. I'm putting together a cookbook and you would be amazed at how many mock ups there are for such a thing... Cons There's hardly anything bad about Envato other than you know there's some themes and graphics made by your favorite designers out there that you don't get for the 16 bucks. Reason for choosing Envato Well buying Shopify themes piece mail can get pricey. Plus the sheer amount of value you get with elements is unbelievable. They have mockups, fonts, CMS,every kind of graphic you can think of, themes, templetes, audio samples, and a lot more. Review Source Larry M. Design Specialist Design Used the software for: 2+ years ### "A savior for any designer" February 8, 2023 5.0 Envato Elements is truly one of my favorite sites to utilize while working on a complicated design project. It saves so much time. While I create most of my designs myself, sometimes it is better to grab an asset to start with or add to your design. It is easy to do a search for something such as Adobe Illustrator files, photos, or whatever you are looking for. Pros Envato Elements is my "go-to" resource whenever I need assets for almost any design job. Whenever I need video, stock images, and other assets that I can utilize as a starting point then this is the place that I go. Cons There are demos to some of the templates that are out of date and lead to sites that are dead as well as some that trigger malware detectors. They need to remove web templates that are out of date. Reason for choosing Envato I do not use Envato Elements exclusively. Review Source Calum A. Marketer Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 2+ years ### "A good solution for lower budget media assets " November 7, 2023 4.0 Generally good, it does what it says on the tin and it's a good option for lower budgets Pros The access to a wide bank of media assets for articles, blogs and client content Cons It's not as in depth as other media asset companies and finding the right imagery can be restrictive Review Source Tito M. CEO & Founder Internet Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Envato Elements, the best subscription marketplace for creators." August 21, 2022 5.0 Pros The amount of resources is infinite and gives us the possibility to use and discover new themes and plugins for WP, not to mention the other categories of resources, with many options and very diversified. Cons The price for Brazilian users is high. I had to unsubscribe, unfortunately.

Me es de mucha utilidad en mi negocio puedo personalizar muchas cosas con todos sus elementos Cons Hay cierto limite de pago pero vale la pena el pagar . Review Source JD Jorge D.

Director Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Well priced stock images and graphics" October 31, 2024 5.0 Very pleased to have found it, makes finding graphics, images and videos a breeze Pros A fantastically well priced option for stock images, graphics and video Cons Having to create new projects for the licencing Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Desarrollador Web Program Development Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Gran complemento para cualquier empresa" January 26, 2024 5.0 Muy buena y agrata, su facil integracion con terceros y su amplia gama de herramientas lo convierten en un kit espectacular para cualquier empresa. Pros Que tiene plantillas descargables de practicamente todo, ya sean imagenes, plantillas de email, de wordpress, videos, graficos, iconos y la lista puede seguir. Es muy seguro que conseguiras algo que te ayudara en tu proytecto actual. Cons Algunas de las plantillas que ofrecen de Wordpress estan desactualizadas, claro esto es de de cada 100 plantillas 4 estan desactualizadas. Switched from [Pixabay](https://www.capterra.com/p/266946/Pixabay/) Envato ofrece imagenes de alta calidad sin restricciones y otras herramientas fundamentales para cualquier desarrollo. Review Source LS Luis S. Consultor técnico Internet Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Envato Elements" March 23, 2023 5.0 Sencilla, tiene días de prueba. Accedes a una inmensa biblioteca de medios y con descargas ilimitadas. Muy útil para todo tipo de desarrollos Web, marketing, presentaciones, etc. Gran calidad y facilidad de uso. Pros Es un gran "almacén" donde poder encontrar lo que necesitas para proyectos, desarrollos, etc. Tiene videos, imágenes, música y otros elementos creativos pero con un presupuesto razonable. También tiene diferentes opciones de compra y suscripción así que eso lo hace muy interesante. Es fácil de usar, y la licencia comercial es bastante polivalente para casi cualquier uso. Descargas ilimitadas Cons Tiene sus limitaciones por ejemplo en banco de imágenes frente a la competencia pero al final como dispone de más servicios no es puntero en uno en concreto. Por ejemplo temas de fotografías, no es como Shutterstock pero tiene descargas ilimitadas mientras dura la suscripción. No tiene opción de reembolso aunque tienes días de prueba gratuita.

The catalog is extremely organized and varied. Everytime I go searching a specific video or template idea, I always find something that fits great into my project. Cons The only con is the price. It's about $16 monthly. However, they do offer student discounts which other stock footage websites do not. Review Source Juan M. Autonomo Graphic Design Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Banco de recursos para Diseñadores y creativos" October 9, 2022 5.0 Utilizo Envato Elements para buscar el material que necesito para los proyectos, sobre todo fotografías y gráficos, pero también para descargar algún plugin o complemento para mi página web. Es un buen sitio para investigar y buscar nuevas ideas para futuros proyectos. Pros Dispones de todo lo que necesitas para diferentes proyectos en un mismo lugar, imágenes, extenciones, gráficos, audios, material para sitios web... Se paga una suscripción y tienes acceso a todo en lugar de pagar por cada recurso que se usa. Cons Si hay algo que podría mejorarse es que algunos tutoriales están sólo en inglés Reason for choosing Envato Contiene un mayor número de recursos y de variedad todo en un mismo sitio que el resto de opciones. Review Source Marco C. YouTube Communication Strategist Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Una libreria di cui non posso più fare a ameno" May 5, 2023 5.0 Pros Envato Elements ha una vasta gamma di risorse utili di vario genere: Clip video in alta risoluzione, foto, template pronti per i principali software di video editing, grafiche, musiche, ecc... Io lo uso in particolare per i miei video e grazie alle clip in HD la qualità dei miei contenuti si è alzata notevolmente senza dover perdere tempo per fare riprese. Cons Manca un filtro per separare i video verticali da quelli in 16:9. Il che sarebbe molto utile per chi fa più spesso contenuti come gli shorts su YouTube o i Reel su Instagram.

January 14, 2023 5.0 J'utilise Envato surtout pour dénicher des photos MOCKUP dont je me sers pour le montage photo de mes produits. Parfois, je vais aussi rechercher des fonds de page pour décorer une annonce ou autre. J'adore aussi télécharger des trames musicales pour accompagner mes publications sur les réseaux sociaux ! Le répertoire est riche et varié ! J'apprécie énormément et cela me sauve du temps ! Pros J'adore que je puisse y trouver un grand éventail de produits numériques variés : banque de photos, musique libre de droit, graphiques, vidéos, des COURS en ligne sur une diversité de sujet.... et tout récemment, j'ai découvert que Envato offre la chance de participer à certains événements tels que des conférences ou autres... Cons 1- Lors de l'enregistrement des éléments que nous voulons conserver dans des collections, nous ne pouvons voir la liste complète des dossiers que nous avons déjà créée, et donc il arrive que nous nous créons des dossiers doublons parce que nous ne pouvions accéder à la liste complète de nos dossiers.2- Lors du téléchargement des éléments, il faut tout d'abord les enregistrer dans un PROJET... et la même situation qu'expliquée ci-dessous se présente. Il n'est possible que de voir un choix de 3 dossiers de projets... Les autres dossiers créés dans le passé n'apparaissent pas automatiquement. La seule façon d'y accéder est d'entrer des mots clés dans le moteur de recherche en espérant qu'ils soient ceux utiliser par le passé.3- Il n'est pas évident de cliquer sur le titulaire de la création pour accéder à un dossier qui présenterait toutes les créations du même artiste (comme l'accès à un portfolio de l'artiste).

Pros I download almost every type of creative require for our marketing efforts, it has a large library of stock images, vectors, videos, etc. Cons Sometimes it's difficult to login as it does not support SSO. Review Source AK Adam K. Branding and Technology Developer Online Media Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Envato Elements, hand-down favorite" February 21, 2023 4.0 Pros I first found Envato Elements while looking for a stock photography solution. After signing up for their free trial and liking what we found to use, I started poking around more and quickly signed up for a full membership. There are literally forms, templates, media, and ideas for almost every aspect of our design business. We completely redid our newsletter based off of designs found on Envato and have a list of further projects in the pipeline that we're looking to start. I only wish we had started using Envato earlier to save myself the time and headache from using other so-called "competitors". Cons Occaisonally you'll find work submitted that is not as robust or complete as the description first led you to believe. I don't think this fault lies with Envato, but rather with the individual submitter, but the high-quality materials definitely outweigh the lesser-quality ones. Review Source Victor Manuel P. DIRECTOR TI & CREATIVIDAD Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Envato Elements la herrramienta necesaria de todos los dias" November 18, 2022 5.0 Excelente, si es una herramienta que recomiendo ampliamente; pero es importante destacar esta más enfocada a multimedia y designers developers Pros Es una WEBAPP que cuenta con muchas opciones en sus principales categorías enfocadas al desarrollo multimedia-grafico. El servicio específicamente de video stock es sorprendente y cuenta con plantillas muy útiles enfocadas PSD y Premiere de Adobe. Su motor de búsqueda funciona de forma impecable Cons Realmente de las categorías que ofrece, honestamente solo hay 4 que son una recomendación:Video STOCK Video templates Graphics y fontsTemplates for presentationsLas otras categorías son muy limitadas sobre todo la de recursos WEB; en ese sentido si hay una gran area de oportunidad Alternatives considered [Shutterstock Editor](https://www.capterra.com/p/239561/Shutterstock-Editor/) Reason for choosing Envato El precio si es incomparable; Elements tiene un precio muy justo y accesible. Review Source ME Matthew E. Founder Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Envato is the go to platform for when you need professional assets." August 31, 2022 5.0 Envato is a great solution for a solopreneur who cannot afford subscriptions to the individual product offerings such as templates and videos offered through other sites. While it could be expected that having a single offering that encompasses everything would mean that the quality is poor I very rarely have an issue finding relevant content in Envato. Pros If you are only able to purchase one subscription for assets make sure that it's Envato Elements. They have a huge range of assets across multiple categories such as videos and photos, and they are generally of very high quality. Additionally, they regularly add new assets and have a pulse releasing assets which cover the "hot topics" of the moment. Cons Due to the amount of content offered, sometimes using the search feature displays irrelevant assets, and it can take some time to narrow down to the appropriate assets. Review Source MG Markus G. Founder Financial Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Envato is a creative fountain" December 5, 2022 5.0 For many years envato has been our library for graphic design, advertising and all our video productions. Pros For comparatively little money, envato offers a variety of templates, videos and images of the highest quality. Cons There is really nothing negative that can be said about envato. We are very happy about the whole service. Review Source Similar Products Featured
