What was Reshot?

If you ever downloaded a free icon or illustration from Reshot, you know what made it special. It was a community-driven library of free, high-quality SVGs, PNGs, and vector assets, made by designers, for designers. Reshot offered simple licensing, instant downloads, and no strings attached. It became a go-to for creatives who needed reliable design assets for side projects, startups, and client work alike.

However, as Envato’s creative ecosystem has evolved, we’ve been thinking carefully about where to focus our energy for the greatest impact.

Why is Reshot retiring?

Reshot was born from the same mission that drives Envato: to help creatives thrive. That mission hasn’t changed, but the tools we’re building have grown more powerful and connected.

As we continue to invest in our Envato subscription, we’re bringing everything under one creative roof. This enables us to focus on enhancing our core Envato products, delivering smarter AI tools, seamless integrations, and a more diverse range of high-quality creative assets for our global community of creative professionals.

As we bid farewell to Reshot, we’re making way for something even better: an all-in-one creative platform where design, motion, music, AI, and inspiration come together.

What Reshot users can do next

If you’ve relied on Reshot for icons, illustrations, and vectors, there are two easy ways to keep creating without interruption:

1. Subscribe to Envato

With an Envato subscription, you’ll gain unlimited access to millions of professional assets, including icons, vector illustrations, templates, mockups, fonts, and photos,  all with simple commercial licensing.

Unlike Reshot, every asset on Envato is part of a unified ecosystem. That means everything you download can be used across your projects with clear, worry-free licensing. Plus, new assets are added daily from the same talented designer community that helped build Reshot.

2. Generate new icons and illustrations with Envato GraphicsGen

If you loved Reshot’s accessibility, you’ll love Envato GraphicsGen, our AI-powered design generator. GraphicsGen lets you create icons, patterns, and illustrations instantly using text prompts and style references.

You can start from scratch or use it to expand your existing brand assets. It’s perfect for quick concepting, moodboarding, and ideation, without spending hours searching through libraries.

Why this change benefits creatives

This shift isn’t about removing access; it’s about expanding creative possibilities.

By centralizing our resources, Envato can:

  • Improve quality and consistency: Assets are curated, updated, and supported directly through Envato Elements.
  • Offer AI-powered tools: GraphicsGen enables creators to generate unique visuals tailored to their projects.
  • Support the designer community: Contributors earn more visibility and revenue through Envato’s core platforms.
  • Simplify licensing: One clear, commercial license across millions of assets.

Ultimately, this move allows us to dedicate more time, investment, and innovation to helping creatives do what they do best — creating.
