Step 1: Search by Image

Imagine a client wants a brand identity for their new startup cafe. They provide you with a cute coffee cup as a starting point. Freepik allows you to find images, vectors, and icons with a similar style. Just go to Freepik's homepage (link in the description), import the image, and just like that, you have plenty of assets with the style you're after.

Step 2: Refine by Content Type

With millions of assets to choose from, you can filter these by choosing which asset type you prefer. For example, vectors are a nice option for a branding project design. Plus, you can filter by free or premium content to fit your needs. Don't forget, each content type has its own set of filters. You can target specific colors, vector pictures with or without people, or gradient and contour style icons. That's pretty useful!

Step 3: View Similar

As a designer, you often find yourself searching for very specific assets but can't always find the perfect match. With Freepik's View Similar feature, you can say goodbye to endless searches.

Step 4: AI Resources

Bored of conventional assets? Freepik lets you refine your search by including AI-generated content. But if AI isn’t your thing, you can easily filter out AI results and focus on the curated library. Look for specific images done with MidJourney, DALL-E, or Stable Diffusion. Freepik even shows you which specific prompt has been used to create the images. Pretty cool!

Step 5: AI Tools

Even with Freepik's huge library, there might be times when you can’t find the exact asset you're looking for. Don’t worry, Freepik has your back with a complete AI Hub. Here are some tools that you might find useful:

Sketch to Image: Used for modifying or creating images through sketching.
Icons Reimagine: Create infinite variations from a single image.
AI Image Generator: A text-to-image tool with pre-made style buttons.
