FreeTextures vs ManyTextures

FreeTextures has no write-up on Specifiction yet; its figures are above.

ManyTextures is a web database of royalty-free textures for architecture, videogames, and design. Its latest textures are listed at 4096 × 4096 pixels, and files are available in JPG, PNG, and PSD. The site describes its textures as seamless, tileable, and Power of Two size. A Seamless Converter can make an uploaded texture seamless; the Heightmap Generator derives height from pixel brightness, and the Normalmap Generator creates a normal map from an upload. For that tool, ManyTextures recommends a good heightmap as input for better results.

Users can submit textures for possible inclusion. Accepted submissions are made seamless, converted to Power of Two size, and added to the database. The free plan is free and covers textures to download in JPG, PNG, and PSD; commercial use is within the listed license scope. There is no free trial. Visitors can sign up for new-texture notifications, contact the maker, or donate. The privacy policy describes information collection from contact messages and account registration, plus site usage and technical data; the site also uses analytics and other cookies.
