What Kinds of Free UI Resources Can I Find on FreebiesUI?

Updated

FreebiesUI is a hand-picked library of free design assets, and its catalog centers on three main resource types: App Designs, UI Kits, and Mockups. Files are offered in formats for Photoshop, Sketch, Principle, and XD, so you can pull assets into the tool you already use. The site also maintains a separate Premium section, which means not everything on the domain is free — check the individual listing before assuming a download costs nothing.

The three core resource types

App Designs

Complete app screen designs you can browse for layout and flow ideas, or adapt into your own project. These are most useful when you want a finished-looking screen rather than a single component.

UI Kits

Component and style libraries — buttons, forms, navigation, typography, and color systems — packaged for reuse. This is the category to start with if you need a consistent base to build a larger interface from.

Mockups

Presentation-ready scenes that let you place a design into a realistic context for a portfolio shot, client review, or case study. Mockups are about how the work is shown, not how it is built.

Supported software formats

Format Typical use
Photoshop Raster editing, mockup compositing, layered PSD work
Sketch Mac-based UI design and component libraries
Principle Interaction and animation prototyping
XD UI design and prototyping

Because the same resource type can appear in more than one format, the practical filter is: pick the category you need first, then confirm the file format matches your toolchain before downloading.

How to decide what to grab

  • Need a starting layout? Go to App Designs.
  • Need reusable components and styles? Go to UI Kits.
  • Need to present finished work? Go to Mockups.
  • Working in a specific tool? Filter by Photoshop, Sketch, Principle, or XD rather than by category alone.

One thing to watch

The site carries a Premium area alongside its free listings. FreebiesUI's own description emphasizes free downloads, but the presence of a premium section means availability and licensing can differ per item. Verify the terms on the specific resource page before using an asset in client or commercial work.
