Scanned in high-resolution photographers' scanners from real archival paper, newsprint, comics, envelopes, and ephemera at 600 DPI or greater for crisp, flexible files to hold up to any situation.
These paper textures were collected from everywhere, from cluttered antique shops in San Francisco, California, to rare paper shops on cobblestone side streets in Florence, Italy.
The result is our full collection of paper textures that make easy work of turning your flat digital art into something that looks straight off a printing press from 1958 and discovered in a dusty box in your grandfather's attic in 1994.
Authentic textures from real-world sources. Crumpled newsprint, archival manga stock, and vintage ephemera scanned from physical originals for unmatched realism.
True-to-life 600 DPI scans. Ultra-crisp files that retain detail whether you're printing large or zooming in close.
Built for your favorite software. Seamlessly compatible with Procreate, Photoshop, Illustrator, Affinity, and Clip Studio Paint—no conversions or hacks needed.
Effortless to use, instantly effective. Either put your work on the marked layer or drag, drop, and set to Multiply for studio-quality analog texture in seconds. Truly simple.
