Today’s Deals are going free
We at Core Deals understand how hard it is to purchase tools or assets when you’re starting out. Or maybe you’re working on a project and you need an icon or an illustration to add to your design and you don’t have the time to create it, or just don’t know how to. To help alleviate some of these issues, we’re listing free assets and tools you can use, without paying hundreds of dollars or committing to a payment plan.

unsplash
Free Stock Photos
Unsplash is a great stock photo site with images similar to shutterstock. They’re high quality, free to use images for your projects and you don’t have to sign up to download them either. While the site is free, it is very limited. You won’t find exact images, but if you’re starting your own blog or need mock images for your portfolio, this is an excellent site to start out on.
Pexels
Free Stock Video
Much like unsplash, pexels is a free stock video site that is very easy to download high quality video. Since they’re free, the site is very limited with odd video formats and resolutions, but if you need a quick video, this is a great site to check out first.
Flat Icon
Free stock icons
This is a great icon repository. While you can’t use them for commercial use without attribution without subscribing, you can use them for personal projects, mocks, etc… They also have TONS of icons in multiple formats including, SVG, EPS, and PNG. Great deals and a great selection.
Freepik
Free Stoc Vectors

Envato
Free Creative Content
While the service itself is not free, you get free content every month. You do have to sign up, but the free content is excellent. From stock photos and music to wordpress templates and After Effect projects. Even with paid collateral, Envato usually runs great deals on them as well.
DaVinci Resolve
Free Video Editor
DaVinci Resolve is one of those programs more and more video creators are moving to. One, because it’s cheaper than Premiere and two, it’s more reliable and easier to use than Final Cut and Premiere. They do have a paid version and the free version is a bit limiting but not by much.

Free Photoshop Alternative
The Gimp is a very old freeware photo editing program. It’s also a monster, rivaling that of Photoshop. While it has a big learning curve, the variant Gimpshop is skinned to act like its paid counterpart.
