Our textures and overlays category offers you a wide range of assets that you can use to aesthetically enhance your photos, images and designs.

On the one hand, you can do this by using textures to create structures and patterns. On the other hand, you can use overlays to create interesting image effects or incorporate additional motifs into your work.

You will find both types of assets in one category, as you can also use textures as overlays, for example. Many of the assets are also suitable as backgrounds for print and web designs, for example for banners with lettering.

What textures are available on TutKit.com?

The textures on TutKit.com can be divided into three main types:

• In images that offer you a specific texture, for example of leather and metal. These textures are primarily available as JPG files and can - like overlays - be combined with your own images.
• Into pattern elements that you can seamlessly join together to create a pattern on the desired surface. This texturing option is based on the use of pattern files, which have different file formats depending on the program (e.g. PAT for Photoshop and AI for Illustrator). One example is the halftone raster for Photoshop.
• In textures for use in 3D. On the one hand, you can use seamless tileable textures as overlays for 3D objects(like here in the large texture pack), on the other hand, TutKit.com also provides you with shaders specially prepared for 3D programs(like these rock and stone textures).

Which overlays are available on TutKit.com?

The overlays on TutKit.com can be divided into two main types:

• Classic overlays show a specific image effect(like smoke), typically against a white or black background, and are usually in JPG format. You can easily remove the background by changing the blend mode of the layer on which you have inserted the overlay. As a result, the image effect is offset against your own image.
• Overlays with specific motifs (such as butterflies and balloons) are often available in PNG format. The motifs themselves are already cut out in front of a transparent background so that you can simply place them over your images. However, there are also motif overlays that, like classic overlays, have a white or black, sometimes even gray background. Here too, change the blending mode to incorporate the motifs into your images.

Background images on TutKit.com

You can also easily use numerous textures and overlays as background images for your designs. Take a look at our grunge textures or artistic backgrounds, for example. The pattern files can also be used to fill large areas, which you can then use in the background.
