The library has lots of different options with surfaces useful for architecture. With the search options available, you can even filter materials tagged for architecture.

Most of the textures available have options to download in multiple resolutions like:

  • 1K (1024 x 1024)
  • 2K (2048 x 2048)
  • 4K (4096 x 4096)

All files are available in PNG format, which is excellent for maintaining those surfaces' quality.

What about the licensing? Is it in the public domain? Unlike many other online libraries that offer textures as creative commons zero files, this one uses the Apache 2.0 license.
