### "A great solution" — 4.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *27 November 2019* | Graphic Design | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Sometimes as a designer I need resources to streamline and to be able to shape different projects. I am a user of this type of websites since I download many images, vectors and so I can also find inspiration.
> 
> **Cons**: Although there is a free version and it is logical that you have to pay to get more and better resources. I think the free version needs some options.
> 
> In general it is good. But if they improve every day their options could be better.
