The Paper Texture Master Library

Every Paper Texture You'll Ever Need to Make Your Work Look 100% Analog

Scanned in high-resolution photographers' scanners from real archival paper, newsprint, comics, envelopes, and ephemera at 600 DPI or greater for crisp, flexible files to hold up to any situation.

These paper textures were collected from everywhere, from cluttered antique shops in San Francisco, California, to rare paper shops on cobblestone side streets in Florence, Italy.

The result is our full collection of paper textures that make easy work of turning your flat digital art into something that looks straight off a printing press from 1958 and discovered in a dusty box in your grandfather's attic in 1994.

• Authentic textures from real-world sources. Crumpled newsprint, archival manga stock, and vintage ephemera scanned from physical originals for unmatched realism.

• True-to-life 600 DPI scans. Ultra-crisp files that retain detail whether you're printing large or zooming in close.

• Built for your favorite software. Seamlessly compatible with Procreate, Photoshop, Illustrator, Affinity, and Clip Studio Paint—no conversions or hacks needed.

• Effortless to use, instantly effective. Either put your work on the marked layer or drag, drop, and set to Multiply for studio-quality analog texture in seconds. Truly simple.

• Phantom Paper Vol. 1. 21 seamless high-resolution paper textures that bring analog depth to your digital work. Includes base textures, highlight/depth layers, and optional overlays for folds, creases, and stains, all fully adjustable for a real-paper feel.
• Phantom Paper Vol. 2. A follow-up to Vol. 1 with 21 entirely new seamless paper textures. Same intuitive layer system, designed to expand your collection and give you more creative freedom across different paper styles.
• Paper Boy Vol. 1. Based on real vintage comic book pages, these 8 high-res textures per platform recreate the classic comic feel. Templates let you control ink, paper, and texture separately—so your art always stays clean and editable.
• Paper Boy Vol. 2. Inspired by manila envelopes, old boxes, and fast-food wrappers, this volume offers 8 rough and tactile textures. Ideal for adding a raw, ephemera-heavy look with full control over aging effects.
• Paper Boy Vol. 3. Push your textures to the limit with 8 severely worn papers. From blotting stains to water damage. Editable templates let you dial up or down the grit, while keeping your original work untouched.
• Paper Artifacts. A bundle of high-res paper textures and analog ephemera. Includes stains, wear, and found scraps. Perfect for layered collages, zines, and anything that needs that authentic found-object look.
• Office Supplies. A charming collection of vintage clip art elements, including staples, tape, labels, and more. Transparent PNGs make it easy to drag in analog details and instantly give your designs nostalgic character.
• Funny Papers. 25 high-res comic paper textures from international sources like manga, French bandes dessinées, and Italian fumetti. Scanned at 600 DPI to preserve all the imperfections, tone, and grain of the originals.
