About

Eezy LLC (Vecteezy)

2007 Founded (reported)

Corporate Bowling Green, Kentucky, USA

Vecteezy connects buyers with contributor content across photos, vector art, 4K video, PNGs, SVGs, templates, motion graphics, and bundles. You can start on a free tier with ads and licence limits, upgrade to Pro for unlimited downloads of subscription-eligible content and broader commercial terms, or use download credits and the REST API for product integrations. It does not print or ship merchandise — you export assets into your own design workflow and POD supplier.

Marketing copy cites tens of millions of Pro-class resources and a large free catalogue; exact counts change. Editorial-only assets remain restricted regardless of plan. Always open the Licensing Agreement and per-file licence before using work on products for resale.

Workflow

Platforms & integrations

api web-app

Most creators use the website to search and download, then move files into Illustrator, Affinity, Photoshop, Canva, or a POD mockup tool. Developers can integrate search and downloads via the Vecteezy API (https://www.vecteezy.com/developers) with usage-based billing on paid tiers.

Delivery

Downloads & access

Availability

Digital: licensed files are typically available immediately after a successful purchase or while your subscription is active, subject to account status and checkout.

Fulfilment type

Not applicable for standard licences — deliverables are downloads. API delivery is also digital.

Keep offline copies of files you rely on for production. Subscription entitlements and catalogue availability can change — retain licence receipts from your Dashboard (e.g. Licence History).

Output quality

Files & print readiness

Formats & methods

Vector source files (format per asset: AI, EPS, SVG — check listing) Raster imagery (JPG, PNG — resolution per file) Video (codec and resolution per listing, including 4K where offered)

Practical use

Quality and editability vary by contributor; inspect dimensions, colour mode, and layering before large print runs.

Colour

Screen RGB previews may diverge from printed CMYK or garment DTG output — soft-proof with your printer’s profile.

Longevity

Legal durability depends on maintaining a valid licence for each asset and respecting editorial vs commercial restrictions.

Pricing

Plans & value

Model

Free account with ad-supported browsing; Pro unlimited subscription (monthly or annual billing); download credit packs; separate API billing (free, pay-as-you-go, Business); Team and Enterprise options.

Public list prices (USD)

Pro unlimited (consumer pricing): publicly shown around $13.99/month when billed monthly or a lower effective monthly rate on annual billing (marketing cites meaningful savings vs monthly — confirm live USD/EUR at https://www.vecteezy.com/signups/join-pro).
Download credits (on-demand): example packs are advertised around $10 (1 download), $15 (5), and $20 (10) — verify currency and tax at checkout; credits do not unlock bundle downloads the way an active Pro subscription does.
API (pay-as-you-go): marketing lists about $0.002 per API call and about $1.00 per download on the paid tier, with a free tier capped at 500 downloads per month on free assets — see https://www.vecteezy.com/developers.

Discounts

Annual Pro billing is cheaper per month than monthly where both are offered; API Business tier is negotiated for high volume.

Features

Editor & brand tools

Brand elements

Pro and credit licences reduce or remove attribution requirements where the licence states
Legal indemnification up to $10,000 on qualifying Pro content (per public FAQ — read current licence)
Team seats and roles via account settings

Licensing angle

Pro subscribers get extras such as faster downloads, no on-site ads, bundles access, background removal, and the online editor within subscription terms. None of this replaces your ecommerce storefront branding.

Review

Summary

Vecteezy licenses contributor-made vectors, photos, stock video, PNGs, SVGs, templates, motion graphics, and bundles. Free downloads sit under a Free licence with usage limits and typically attribution; Pro and credit-based purchases unlock stronger commercial terms, indemnification on qualifying Pro content, and tools such as an online editor and background removal. Physical products are always produced by your POD partner — Vecteezy supplies files and licences only.

Pros & cons

Pros

Broad catalogue across vectors, photos, video, templates, and bundles with a usable free tier.
Clear upgrade path from Free → Pro or credits for stronger commercial terms.
Developer API for embedding search and downloads in your own product.
Affiliate programme on Impact with a 45-day cookie and 30% commission on referred Pro subscriptions (per public affiliates page).
Contributor programme for artists who want to sell licences through the marketplace.

Cons

Licence homework — free files often require attribution; editorial assets are not for ordinary merchandise.
Merchandise limits — Pro terms describe limited merchandise use; read the Licensing Agreement before scaling POD SKUs.
On-site advertising on free accounts can slow browsing.
Variable file quality between contributors — always preflight resolution and trapping for print.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use Vecteezy graphics on Printful, Printify, or Redbubble?

Often yes for eligible commercial licences — but only within the rights granted for that file. Free resources usually require attribution and may impose other limits. Pro and credit downloads include a Pro licence for subscription-eligible content (excluding editorial-only items) with broader use including limited merchandise; read the current Licensing Agreement at https://www.vecteezy.com/licensing-agreement and the Licensing Chart on Vecteezy Support before publishing products.

What is the difference between Free and Pro on Vecteezy?

Free accounts can download many resources under the Free licence, typically with attribution and an ad-supported experience. Pro adds unlimited downloads of subscription-covered Pro content, no attribution where the Pro licence allows, full commercial rights on eligible assets, bundle access, faster downloads, background removal, and the online editor — subject to the subscription terms in force at purchase.

Do download credits work like a Pro subscription?

Credits buy individual licences without a subscription commitment and may last up to a year per Vecteezy’s FAQ, but bundles are generally reserved for active Pro subscribers. Compare total cost if you download frequently — unlimited Pro is often better value at volume.

Does Vecteezy ship physical products?

No. Vecteezy sells digital licences and downloads. Any physical item is produced and shipped by your printer or POD partner.

What file types should I download for T-shirts or mugs?

Prefer vector masters (AI, EPS, SVG) when your printer asks for scalable artwork; use high-resolution PNG or JPG only when the design is raster and meets your supplier’s minimum pixel dimensions. Always check the asset’s listed formats before purchase.

What is the Vecteezy API for?

The REST API lets developers search and download stock inside an app or website. A free tier supports testing with caps (including monthly download limits on free content); pay-as-you-go adds paid-library access with per-call and per-download fees; Business is negotiated for enterprise volume — see https://www.vecteezy.com/developers and https://www.vecteezy.com/api-docs.

Who owns Vecteezy?

Eezy LLC operates Vecteezy alongside sister properties such as Brusheezy and Videezy. The company was founded by Shawn Rubel in 2007 and is headquartered in Bowling Green, Kentucky, USA — details summarised from Vecteezy’s public About page.

How does the Vecteezy affiliate programme pay?

Partners earn about 30% on new Vecteezy Pro subscriptions generated through tracked links, with a 45-day referral window and monthly payouts, managed via Impact. Join via https://www.vecteezy.com/affiliates and verify live rates in the network dashboard.

Can I cancel Pro if it does not suit my workflow?

Subscriptions are advertised as cancel any time from account settings. Vecteezy also publicises a 30-day money-back policy if you are unsatisfied and have downloaded no more than three Pro files — confirm the latest refund wording on the pricing or legal pages before relying on it.

What are editorial-only assets?

Some news- or event-style content is labelled for editorial use only. These files are not suitable for ordinary commercial merchandise or advertising without separate rights — filter them out when sourcing POD artwork.

Data sources

Information is compiled from Vecteezy’s public About, Join Pro, Developers, Affiliates, and support/licensing pages, plus the parent company story on the About page. Pricing may display in local currency; API and subscription numbers change — verify checkout totals, API pricing tables, and the Licensing Agreement before commercial use.
