What Is Envato Tuts+?

Envato Tuts+ (tutsplus.com) is an educational resource for learning creative and technical skills, offering courses, tutorials, tips, and self-learning materials. It's aimed at people who want to build practical skills in design, code, and related creative fields, and it sits within the broader Envato ecosystem — the site promotes Envato Elements, a separate subscription service for creative assets.

What kind of site is it?

Envato Tuts+ describes itself as a place to "learn creative skills from leading industry experts." Its content is structured around self-directed learning rather than formal accreditation. If you're looking for a structured degree or a certification program, this isn't that — it's a library of instructional material you work through on your own schedule.

The site's own framing lists several content types:

• Courses — longer, structured learning sequences
• Tutorials — focused, task-oriented walkthroughs
• Tips and tricks — shorter practical guidance
• Books and reference material — supporting written resources

This mix means you can use it either for a deep dive (a full course) or for a quick answer to a specific problem (a single tutorial).

Who is it for?

The stated audience is learners and practitioners who want to pick up or sharpen creative skills. In practice that covers a few common situations:

• Beginners starting out in a creative or technical discipline who want guided instruction
• Working professionals filling a specific gap — for example, learning a tool or technique adjacent to their main work
• Self-learners who prefer to move at their own pace without a cohort or deadline

Because the material spans both creative and technical topics, it tends to suit people whose work crosses those lines — designers who need to understand code, developers who need design fundamentals, and similar hybrid roles.

How it relates to Envato

Envato Tuts+ is part of the Envato family, and the site surfaces promotion for Envato Elements, a subscription service for unlimited creative assets. The pricing entry points shown on the site reference Elements, with a displayed starting price of from $16.50/m and calls to "get unlimited downloads."

It's worth separating the two clearly:

The presence of Elements pricing on the Tuts+ site doesn't mean the learning content carries the same terms — the pricing signals in the available information relate to Elements, not to Tuts+ itself. If cost matters to you, check the specific page you're using rather than assuming the two share a model.

How to decide if it's useful for you

Use Envato Tuts+ if you want self-paced instruction in creative or technical skills and prefer browsing a library of courses and tutorials over committing to a formal program. It's a reasonable fit when you have a concrete skill to build and want material you can work through independently.

Look elsewhere if you need accredited qualifications, live instruction with a cohort, or a single structured curriculum with a defined end point. And if what you actually need is downloadable assets rather than instruction, that's a different Envato product — the Elements subscription — not the Tuts+ learning content.
