Blog / Resources / The Best Free UI Kits from Around the Web

UI Kits are collections of user interface design elements that, ideally, help designers create their designs quicker and to the proper specifications of the device(s) they’re creating for. For years these kits have been a big hit with designers all over the web. Understandably so!

In my last post, I mentioned one way in which UI kits can be helpful (as part of a rapid prototyping process) but even if all you want them for is inspiration or static mockups, they can still be extremely helpful. That’s why in today’s post I have gathered a large collection of some of the best free UI Kits from around the web for the community here to use as they please.

The Best Free UI Kits from Around the Web

The following UI Kits have been gathered from several sources from around the web. They are all free to download and use, but you may want to check on certain licensing details per kit you use just to be sure everything you have in mind is ok with the creators.

While most if not all of these kits are meant to be used within Adobe Photoshop, some can probably be used in a new(ish) design program called Sketch that shows a lot of promise. It was mentioned a lot as I was doing my research for this post so I thought I’d pass it along. No strings attached, affiliate income earned, or anything of the like.

Sketch is built just for designers with an emphasis on user interface and experience across all devices. Which makes it a great new tool–and these free UI Kits very handy!

For anyone wondering how to get the most out the PSD kits, I’d recommend check out this video.

Regardless of the program you’re designing in, another tool that may come in handy when using these kits is Skala Preview. It’s meant to quickly and easily provide design previews across desktop and mobile devices of various screen sizes.

Ok, with those little tips and tool suggestions out of the way, let’s get into the free UI Kits!

  1. Thanks.. another great article. This article is going to help me a lot because you suggest best free UI kits for web designer.I would love to try this UI kits as soon as possible.
    Thanks again for sharing this article

  2. Gumballz is not FREE, you do get a “sample” of this UI kit for free but to get the whole kit, it’s $18 on Creative Market. Still a great deal for such a pretty design!

  3. How about CSS hero? Not exactly a UI kit but it lets you use a live CSS editor on your WordPress site which can be great for your own clients if they have an eye for design, but better just for yourself because it saves you time not having to inspect elements, find the proper class or id name, then manually overwrite the CSS using a child theme’s style.css or a theme’s options CSS panel. Very time consuming part of designing with WordPress, and this CSShero plugin will save the changes you do in real life to a stylesheet automatically. Go to csshero.org and use promo code HEROKUBE for huge discount. I bought the developers license for $119 versus regular price of $199

  4. Good stuff!

    Thanks for the list.

    -Kraymer

  5. These UI Kit are useful and love them ! Thank you for Sharing !

  6. PSD files of Divi … your theme also contain the pds files. I always get errors about the RaleWay font and ElegantIcons missing, where can i get those to import them in PSP?

  7. Thank you for the good selection! I also like the flat design.

  8. Great collection

  9. There are lots of free UI kits in the Internet. Thank you for a good selection!

  10. Thanks very much. These tools seem very useful, but I’m not clear on the workflow. How do I go from the UI kit to a live website? Or is that the next post?

    Thanks again.

    • I too would like to see the process of going from PSD UI to html/JavaScript. I know I could do it eventually, however I would like to see someone who does it all the time do it. To explain their process.

  11. The section” Oh no, not another UI Kit” says Fucking Headline… Not real professional IMO.

    • I agree with you Frank. If they ever do decide to monetize their website… they will have already turned off quite a few potential customers/subscribers just with that.

  12. You guys are awesome! Your blog has the best information, consistently and on point. I love knowing about these! Thanks much.

  13. Very nice collection, thanks.

  14. Glad you mentioned Sketch as not everyone can afford to ‘rent’ Adibe products but they still want professional tools. I’ve used Sketch for a few years but also worth a mention are the new Affinity Designer and Photo Mac programs by Serif, both Adobe PS rivals for those on a budget. Some very good free resources here too.

  15. Thanks for the ressources! I’d love to see the video but the link is broken…

    • Sorry about that, I fixed the link.

  16. Thanks for the resources. I might use some of these UI kits in my future projects. I especially like the “flat design” ones.
