If you’re looking to add some raw, gritty texture to your artwork, this free set of 52 Grunge Brushes for Photoshop is exactly what you need. Designed for artists, graphic designers, and digital illustrators, these brushes give you the power to add realistic rust, dust, dirt, paint chipping, or worn-out surface effects to any design — all in just a few clicks.

The brush set comes in .ABR format and is fully compatible with Adobe Photoshop. Whether you’re creating urban-style posters, vintage-themed graphics, distressed photo overlays, or album covers with a raw industrial feel — these brushes will help you get there fast. Each brush is unique, high-resolution, and pressure-sensitive, making it ideal for both mouse users and graphic tablet users.

You can easily use them to:

Simulate rust effects on metal textures
Create aged paper or wall designs
Add dirt, scratches, and peeling paint to photos
Design gritty backgrounds for flyers or websites
Grunge up typography and logo designs
Give digital paintings a more rugged, realistic finish

Perfect for anyone working on horror designs, street art, post-apocalyptic themes, or simply looking to break the polished, clean look in their work. These brushes are also great for mockups, especially when you want to present your graphics on old packaging, rusted metal signs, vintage billboards, or weathered print textures.

Each brush was created from real-life textures — peeled paint, rusted surfaces, cracked concrete, and industrial stains — scanned and processed at high resolution to give you clean, detailed strokes with organic imperfections. The result? Authentic grunge without the hassle.
