What I like about it is that it’s organized with categories and sub-categories, it also lets you know with a label when a texture is seamless, which is very handy.

This is a very easy site to navigate that has a very good amount of textures of all kinds. This is why my criteria might differ from some, but now you know why, and I bet you’ll enjoy what these sites have to offer if you don’t know them. I, personally, find those not so appealing anymore and end up leaving much sooner than required to find what I was looking for. But some of the most visited and well-known websites are visually very old, hard to navigate, and haven’t updated their thumbnail sizes in ages. My thoughts behind this are the collections these sites have can and probably will grow overtime. I’m focusing more on user-friendliness, navigation and presentation, than on gross number of textures. These usually have categories that make it easier to find what you’re looking for. There are a lot of sites that provide free stock photos and most include textures, but while searching or browsing you’ll have to separate normal photos from textures, so I wanted to highlight websites that are specifically focused on textures.
