Vecteezy launches education plans with free student access to curated creative assets

Initiative offers schools and teachers access to 60 million stock photos, videos, and illustrations under an education-only license.

Vecteezy has launched Vecteezy for Education, a program that provides schools, universities, and other educational institutions with curated creative resources for classroom use.

The library includes more than 60 million stock photos, vector graphics, and videos filtered for age-appropriate content.

Founded in 2007, Vecteezy operates a global creative marketplace supplying free and paid visual assets for individuals, businesses, and organizations. The new education program is designed to replace ad-hoc image searches with controlled access to licensed materials suitable for academic environments.

Professional accounts for teachers can be set up to include up to 20 student IDs, with access managed using classroom codes. This allows students to log in without personal credentials and download images, illustrations, and videos for educational purposes.

Students can also use Vecteezy’s browser-based editor and templates, with any work saved under the classroom code. Schools and districts can manage multiple teacher accounts centrally, enabling usage tracking and license control.

The plan excludes bundles, editorial images, and Pro Extended licenses. Assets obtained through the program are licensed only for educational use and cannot be used for personal or commercial projects. Yearbook use is not included without a separate license.

Vecteezy says the program is intended to help teachers avoid the risks of students using unfiltered search tools for project visuals.

Shawn Rubel, Founder and CEO at Vecteezy, says, “At Vecteezy, we believe that creativity and education go hand-in-hand. With Vecteezy for Education, we’re removing the cost barrier so students can access the same professional-grade resources used by top creative teams - all for free and without attribution.”
