Affiliate Disclosure

TOOOLS.design is an independently curated directory of design tools. Every tool is selected based on quality, relevance, and usefulness to designers, not simply because it has an affiliate program.

Some links on this site are affiliate links. This means that if you click a link and make a purchase, TOOOLS.design may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. These commissions help keep the site running, free to use, and independent.

Here's what you should know:

  • Every tool on this site is held to the same curatorial standard, whether it has an affiliate program or not.
  • Only a small percentage (below 2%) of all tools listed on TOOOLS.design include affiliate links.
  • Affiliate partnerships may influence a tool’s position within a list, but they never determine whether a tool is included.
  • Tools with an affiliate link carry an asterisk next to their name, and the sections that collect them say so in the title, like Top Partner Picks and Partner Discounts.
  • Blog posts that contain affiliate links include a disclosure at the top of the article (below the article image).

This site exists to help designers find the right tools. That only works if you can trust the recommendations. Transparency is how that trust is maintained.
