This set of Adobe Illustrator vectors is composed of various shapes of snowflakes. Some are perfectly symmetrical, some are more roughly hand “drawn” (much like those unique real flakes!).
You can download these in various formats:
- AI 8+ (which includes both AI and EPS files – made for Illustrator 8 and above)
- AI CS (which includes both AI and EPS files – made for Illustrator CS and above)
- SVG vector files
These are also available as Snowflake Vectors Brushes and Snowflake Custom Shapes.
Programs: Illustrator 8+, any vector program
Vectors: 30
Size: 744KB (AI 8+), 1.49MB (AI CS+), 120KB (SVG)
Photoshop and Illustrator Tip:
Photoshop can open up EPS and AI files, too, but it will treat them like regular images.
However, if you own both Illustrator and Photoshop, you can transfer vector shapes back and forth between Illustrator and Photoshop in several ways.
Select the path(s) that you want to move and CTRL-C (CMD-C for Mac) to copy. Move over to the other program and CTRL-V (CMD-V for Mac) to paste.
If you’re copying a path from Photoshop to Illustrator, it will ask you if you want to copy it as a Compound Shape (which is fully editable) or a Compound Path (which is faster).
If you’re copying a vector path or paths from Illustrator to Photoshop, it will ask you if you want to copy them as a Smart Object (which Photoshop re-renders every time you resize it to prevent loss of quality), Pixels (just pixels), a Path (a Photoshop path), or a Shape Layer (a Photoshop shape, which defaults to being filled in with your currently selected foreground layer).
Do you have a site you recommend with great tutorials for Illistrator I want to learn how to use vector graphics to build my own graphics. I have photoshop and illistrator. Thanks!
@Carrie: I’m afraid not. I’m learning everything in Illustrator as I go, and not really using any sites. So I’m not sure, sorry! :( Maybe someone else will answer in a comment, though.
These are great, thank you! And they work just fine in Inkscape too. (Inkscape is an open source vector editor – Inkscape is to Illustrator what Gimp is to Photoshop.)

Thanks so much for these! They look great on the xmas cards I’m making. ;-)
I always use Adobe illustrator at work because i work in an animation studio. this is really a serious tool for the graphic artist.;”`
i don’t know with other users but the new version of Adobe illustrator is a bit slower when it loads. -;:
I think that ATI is one of the best graphics device…
Many thanks! I intend to use these as part of my christmas design poster which I am going to put up at the shop.
Thank you so much for these. these are awsome !!!

Thank you SO much! These will come in handy for the Nutcracker logo and program I’m designing :)
If I purchase the commercial license for the vectors I would like to use can I use use them on cards I sell?
Yep. Absolutely. You’ll be sent a commercial license for the vectors when you buy them granting you the rights to use them on your products and designs.
