Scope & Limitations of FreshStock

While you can use the FreshStock assets for tons of your projects, there are some limitations to this service. Check out The Rules of FreshStock to learn more!

What software should I use to edit FreshStock assets?

Source files are provided in either EPS or AI format depending on the asset. All assets are created in and intended for Adobe Illustrator. We aren’t able to guarantee seamless compatibility with other software, but other software (those that can open EPS, for example) should be able to open these files just fine.

Can I edit FreshStock assets without Adobe Illustrator?

There are a couple of workarounds you can try if you do not have Adobe Illustrator.

Edit EPS files in PowerPoint (Works with EPS files)
Edit Vectors using Google Draw (Works with EPS and AI files)

Our assets are still meant to be used in Adobe Illustrator, so it may not work for all assets, but these workarounds should work for a good amount of them!
