What is Vexels?
Design and illustrations can be expensive to buy, and even more so to hire a specialist designer or artist to fill this role. If you don't have the necessary artistic flair yourself, you'll need a resource where you can find the graphic content you need to promote your product or business.
That's where Vexels.com comes in. This site offers design stock images for personal and commercial use, but also services to meet various needs or even design custom works of art.
The images on this site are of high quality and can be used in a lot of different ways to promote your business or blog! If you're a merch seller, advertising agency, or graphic designer, Vexels offers images ranging from backgrounds to logo templates, print-ready templates, and icons.
They even have online tools that allow you to design your own graphics without the need for prior knowledge of specialized graphics software.
Features
Vexels allows users to access a vast catalog of designs that includes everything from print-ready designs to individual files in .png/vector format. Whether you have a specific niche in mind or are looking for inspiration, you will certainly find hundreds of templates created by professional graphic designers that you can use in your business.
Here are some of the other features offered by Vexels:
Print-ready designs
Print-ready designs are one of the easiest ways to get started. These templates are ready to be downloaded and immediately put online on the print-on-demand platform of your choice.
Of course, you also have the option of making your own changes or using elements from these templates to create your own version.
Design elements (.svg, .png, vectors, etc.)
Vexels also provides you with a library of more than 50,000 vector graphics. These give you real control over your creative process. Whether you're looking for an element to spice up a simple text-based design or want a finished product, there are thousands of options to choose from.
You can also access “sets” that include multiple models that share color palettes and style options. It is therefore easy to maintain a certain coherence between your creations, your products and your brand.
These elements provide a great foundation for your creative process. You can create numerous print-on-demand products and ads from a single Vexels element.
Right now, Vexels is offering my readers a pack of design elements gratuitous and a discount on their Merch subscriptions. You can sign up for Vexels and get the free design elements pack hither.
Mockup generator and T-shirt maker
One of the other benefits of Vexels is its built-in T-shirt and mockup generator. While I prefer Canva's functionality for most of my design processes, the Vexels T-shirt maker gives you an easy way to create and refine your design before you upload it.
You can search for vector elements and import them directly from the Vexels catalog. Easily add text, change colors, and add effects, all within the T-Shirt Maker interface. Once you have finished creating your new design, Vexels automatically exports it to 4500x5400px. This makes it easy to export your design and upload it directly to Merch by Amazon.
Vexels also gives you the ability to create custom lifestyle mockups for your e-commerce ads.
Scalable T-Shirt PSD
While I haven't personally explored this set of features, the promise of scalable designs is very appealing. With the use of downloadable Vexels templates and Photoshop, you can create designs in bulk.
It's just one of the many features that Vexels has created especially for print-on-demand sellers. In a nutshell, you can turn one model into hundreds of unique designs. Each scalable model can be reused for any type of product you want to sell (T-shirts, mugs, pillows, etc.).
Book covers
If you're selling low-content, content-free notebooks, Vexels also has a handful of beautiful covers to choose from. While book cover options aren't as extensive, there are still a few gems available.
By combining the cover design options available on Vexels with interior design creation resources, it's possible to generate hundreds of unique designs for your low- or no-content book business.
Design requests
If you can't find a template in the “stock” section of the website, Vexels offers its members a unique subscription feature called “Design Requests”.
Each subscriber has access to a limited number of free design requests per month, which are not cumulative - so use them wisely !
The idea behind Design Requests was to provide Vexels customers with a value-added service and to offer custom graphics and designs that they might need. This service not only provides service to the customer but is also used to build the online database of available charts.
You can only access this service on the Vexels site if you are a subscriber. If you want to request a custom design, you can access it from your profile page, where you can click on the “Design Request” tab in the side menu.
You will receive a form to fill out in which you can detail your request. The request takes 24 hours to process, and the actual design work will be completed within 4-5 business days.
When your custom design is complete, you will receive an email with a link to where you can download the design.
Vexels has its own in-house design team that responds to design requests from subscribers. So, whether your request is about social media, merchandise design, branding, advertising, or user interfaces, the work will be professional and of high quality.
Any custom graphics that the Vexels team designs for you will be published in their online library and other subscribers can download and use them.

Design plan
Merchandise Plan
Lifetime plan
Designers and sellers of print-on-demand products have a new option, although it's not very visible on the Vexels site. In addition to the Merch Lifetime Deal and the Business Lifetime Deal, Vexels is offering a Business Lifetime Deal. You can also access it via my URL.
A lifetime plan is available for a one-time payment instead of subscription options. It's the ideal solution for anyone who works a lot in design and doesn't want to worry about subscription fees and licensing restrictions.
Customer Support
The Vexels contact page has a direct phone number and a form to fill out if you prefer to send an email. Although the hotline's hours of operation are not publicly listed, I was able to reach them after 7 p.m., which means the line may be open 24 hours a day.
Additionally, they have a very impressive blog where they provide answers to common questions and create guides that help users create and customize different products using Vexels.
Also, they have an extensive FAQ section. They may get a lot of questions about their licensing structure, so I think that's necessary.
