OpenGameArt.org
What it is
OpenGameArt.org is a web library of freely licensed assets for free and open source game development. Its categories include 2D art, 3D art, concept art, textures, music, sound effects, documents, and tutorials. Advanced search filters by title, tags, submitter, art type, license, and sort order, while collections let users organize and browse art. Assets may be used in commercial projects when each item’s license terms are followed. The site discusses Creative Commons Attribution and Share Alike, GNU GPL, and other accepted licenses, whose conditions differ by asset. When attribution instructions are unclear, its FAQ recommends crediting the asset title, author, license, and URL. Community features include forums, comments, leaderboards, Discord, and IRC. The service is free to use on the web and has no free trial. Contributors must upload usable assets; watermarked work and material without an available license or using unlicensed copyrighted content are not accepted.
