What Is Medialoot and What Design Resources Does It Offer?

Updated

Medialoot is a graphic design resource library offering both free and premium assets—fonts, icons, graphics, templates, themes, mockups, and UI elements—that you can download after creating an account. It suits designers who want ready-made assets for client or personal projects, and non-designers who need polished templates without building from scratch. The site states that you can "sign up for an account and start downloading free & premium design resources in minutes," so registration is the practical starting point; whether any specific item is free or paid is shown on that item's page.

What kinds of resources are available

The catalog is organized into three top-level areas—Mockups, Graphics, Templates, Themes, Icons, and Fonts—each with subcategories. The table below maps the main categories to what they contain, based on the site's navigation.

Category Subcategories listed on the site Typical use
Mockups Sign & Billboard, Packaging, Apple Technology, Brochure, Logo & Branding, Web & Mobile, Stationery & Paper, Fashion & Apparel, Food & Drink Presenting a design in a realistic context
Graphics Textures, Patterns, Illustrations, Brushes, Vectors, Styles & Effects, Web Elements, Mobile UI, Backgrounds, Objects Adding visual elements to layouts and artwork
Templates Branding, Business Card, Brochure, Flyer, Event & Invitation, Social Media, Resume, Website, Mobile, Presentation Starting a project from a pre-built layout
Themes HTML/CSS, Bootstrap, WordPress, CSS Components, Mobile, Email Website and email builds
Icons Line, Color, Solid, Flat Style, Realistic, Social Media, Hand-Drawn, Icon Fonts Interface and print icon sets
Fonts Serif, Sans-Serif, Decorative/Display, Script, Handwritten Typography for branding and layouts

The site also separates Free and Premium versions of each area (for example, "Free Mockups," "Free Graphics," "Free Templates," "Free Themes," "Free Icons," "Free Fonts"), so you can browse only the no-cost items if budget is the constraint.

Free vs. premium: what the site shows

The homepage mixes both tiers in the same feed. In the "Newest Items" section, individual products are listed with a price—for example, a Photoshop Ink Stamp Live Text Effect, a Plastic Keychain Mockup, and a Corporate Flyer Template are each shown at $5. A separate "Free Design Resources" section highlights freebies such as the Anders Signature handwritten font, the Kirlian free industrial font, a free rounded sticker mockup, digital paper textures, and a free iMac 24" mockup.

There is also an "Unlimited Downloads" option and a "Get Unlimited Access" call to action, alongside a checkout link. The site does not state the price of that unlimited plan in the material available, so treat it as a paid subscription tier whose terms you should confirm on the site before committing. What is clear: premium items carry individual prices (the sampled ones are $5), and free items are downloadable without payment.

How to start using it

  1. Create an account. The site presents "Login to Medialoot" and "Create an Account" as the entry points; an account is required to download.
  2. Choose a path. Browse "Free Resources" if you want no-cost assets, or go category-by-category (Mockups, Graphics, Templates, Themes, Icons, Fonts) if you know what you need.
  3. Check the item page. Confirm whether the item is free or priced, and check the file format—listings reference Photoshop (PSD), vectors, HTML/CSS, WordPress themes, and font files, so match the format to your tools.
  4. Download and apply. Free items download directly; paid items go through checkout.

A practical example: if you need a presentation deck for a client pitch, start under Templates → Presentation, compare the free and premium options, and check the file type before downloading so it opens in your software.

Who it fits—and when to look elsewhere

Medialoot fits well if you want a single library covering many asset types and are comfortable filtering free from paid. It is less suitable if you need a guaranteed all-free source, since much of the newest catalog is priced per item, or if you need assets in formats the site doesn't list (the material shows PSD, vector, HTML/CSS, WordPress, and font files, but not, for instance, native Figma or Sketch libraries). The blog also publishes tutorials—such as a Lightroom moody-black photo guide and a geometric origami effect walkthrough—which can help you get more from downloaded assets.

Before downloading, verify the license terms on each item page, since the material provided does not detail usage rights for free versus premium assets.
