If you work with Elementor, you know the feeling: you open a blank canvas and just... stare at it. One minute. Two. Drag-and-drop is powerful, but starting from scratch eats hours. Especially when a deadline is looming and your head is filled with white noise.

Elementor templates solve this problem at its root. Ready-made designs that you can import with a couple of clicks, then customize: replace text, colors, images. No magic, just a smart starting point.

But where do you get them? The official Elementor library is only the tip of the iceberg. We've collected the 8 best sources for free and premium Elementor templates in 2026, from marketplace giants to niche collections you might not know about.

💡 Quick overview:

• Choose a source for your task: Envato Elements for high-volume client work, TemplateMonster for one-time purchases, Katka for maximum templates in one payment.
• Review the license before buying. Every source in this collection has free templates, and Katka's lifetime license for $39 has no equal in price-to-volume ratio.
• Import templates through Elementor's standard tool: Templates → Import. Replace the content with your own and check mobile responsiveness.

Source comparison table

1. Envato Elements

Envato Elements is the largest digital asset marketplace with a dedicated Elementor Template Kits category. Here you'll find templates for any niche: from corporate sites and landing pages to portfolios, blogs, and online stores.

The main advantage is the subscription model. For $16.50 per month (annual plan) you get unlimited downloads not just of Elementor templates, but also stock photos, videos, fonts, music, and graphics. If you regularly launch client projects, the subscription pays for itself with your first site.

All templates go through quality checks by the Envato team and are updated by authors. The downside is that after canceling your subscription, you lose the right to use downloaded assets in new projects.

Pros: huge selection, built-in stock assets, monthly catalog updates, filters by niche and style.

Cons: license tied to active subscription, beginners can easily get lost in 10,000+ options.

Price: from Envato Elements subscription $16.50/mo (annual).

2. Astra Starter Sites

Astra Starter Sites is a collection of 280+ ready-made websites created specifically for use with the Astra theme. Each demo site is built on Elementor (or Spectra) and imports in one click along with customizer settings, widgets, and content.

The free demos are enough to launch a blog, portfolio, or small business site. Premium demos require an Astra Agency license for $249 per year, which also includes all Brainstorm Force plugin extensions (Convert Pro, Schema Pro, SkillJet).

Important note: templates only work with the Astra theme. If you're already using another theme, you'll need to migrate. But for new projects this isn't a problem: Astra remains one of the fastest WordPress themes (according to ThemeIsle's 2025 tests, clean install loading is less than 0.5 seconds).

Pros: full theme integration, one-click import, quality design from a proven team.

Cons: tied to Astra theme, premium demos are expensive.

Price: free for ~100 demos; $249/year for full access (Astra Agency Bundle).

3. Katka Elementor Template Pack

Katka is a set of 135+ page templates, 240+ section blocks, and 114 popups for Elementor Pro. Unlike ready-made sites, Katka works as a constructor: you assemble pages from individual blocks, like Lego.

The catalog includes sections for content, forms, calls to action, testimonials, features, FAQs, pricing tables, navigation, and footers. The 114 popups range from simple notifications to animated modal windows.

The license is lifetime. For $39 you get access to all current and future templates with no limits on the number of sites (personal and client). This is arguably the best price-to-volume ratio among all sources in this collection.

Templates use only Elementor and Elementor Pro, no third-party plugins. Import is standard through Tools → Import.

Pros: lifetime license, 135+ pages and 114 popups, unlimited use, no third-party dependencies.

Cons: some widgets require Elementor Pro, design is occasionally minimalist.

Price: $39 (lifetime, one-time).

4. Ferdy Korpershoek

Ferdy Korpershoek is a Dutch WordPress enthusiast with a YouTube channel of 200,000+ subscribers. As part of his Elementor tutorials, he collected and published a set of free templates, both individual sections and full pages.

Ferdy's templates aren't about glossy design. They're about functionality: working forms, proper landing page structure, standard sections (hero, services, portfolio, contact). The perfect option for beginners learning to build sites who want to understand the logic of page construction.

All files are available for free on ferdy.com along with video instructions for import and setup. The quality doesn't match premium marketplaces, but for a free resource, it's excellent.

Pros: completely free, video instructions from the author, clear template structure.

Cons: simpler design than premium alternatives, fewer templates than commercial sources.

Price: free.

5. Elementorism from CSSIgniter

Elementorism is a template collection from the CSSIgniter team, which has been making WordPress themes since 2012 and serves 115,000+ users. The catalog includes 200+ templates for dozens of niches: wedding sites, musician portfolios, resumes, event landing pages, restaurants.

About a quarter of the templates are available for free. The rest require a subscription for $69 per year. This price also includes access to all CSSIgniter themes and plugins, plus 24/7 support.

The team adds several new templates monthly. The design is distinctive, with attention to niche-specific details: a coffee shop template actually looks like a coffee shop site, not a universal template with replaced text.

Pros: high-quality niche design, 24/7 support, regular updates, free templates.

Cons: annual subscription instead of lifetime license, no access without subscription.

Price: $69/year for full access; ~25% of templates free.

6. TemplateMonster

TemplateMonster is a market veteran (since 2002) with a dedicated Elementor Marketplace. The catalog includes over 3,000 templates: from simple landing pages to multi-page sites with WooCommerce integration.

Unlike Envato Elements, here you buy templates individually (from $10 each) or through a MonsterONE subscription. This is convenient if you need one or two quality templates for a specific project, not unlimited access.

Each template goes through manual moderation, comes with demo content and documentation. Many include bonuses: stock images, PSD mockups, contact forms.

Pros: individual purchase without subscription, 3,000+ options, manual quality moderation, documentation for each template.

Cons: premium template prices reach $75, fewer free options than Envato.

Price: from ~$10 per template; MonsterONE subscription from $14.95/mo (annual).

7. OceanWP Demos

OceanWP is another popular theme (700,000+ active installs) with its own collection of 220+ ready-made demo sites built on Elementor. As with Astra, importing a demo site automatically configures all OceanWP customizer parameters for the specific design.

Most demos are free. Pro demos are included in the Core Extensions Bundle for $39 per year along with theme extensions (sticky header, popups, Portfolio, WooCommerce Popup, and others).

The main limitation is being tied to the OceanWP theme. But if you haven't chosen a theme yet, OceanWP deserves attention: lightweight, flexible, and with decent loading speed even on cheap hosting.

Pros: 220+ demos, automatic theme setup, most are free.

Cons: tied to OceanWP, pro demos only in bundle.

Price: free for ~180 demos; $39/year for Core Extensions Bundle with pro demos.

8. Official Elementor library

Don't discount the official source. The Elementor library is built right into the editor (Pages → Blocks tab) and contains 300+ page and block templates created by the Elementor team.

The free set is enough for basic tasks: contact page, landing page, portfolio, blog. Pro templates come with Elementor Pro (from $49/year), and their design is head and shoulders above the free ones, you can feel the professional team's hand.

A separate plus is zero entry barrier. Templates insert directly from the Elementor interface, without downloading JSON files and manual import.

Pros: built into Elementor, instant insertion, official quality Pro designs.

Cons: smaller selection than marketplaces, pro templates only with Elementor Pro subscription.

⁉️🤔 Frequently asked questions

Where to get Elementor templates for free?

The most reliable free source is the official Elementor library and Ferdy Korpershoek's YouTube channel. Also check out the free sections of Astra Starter Sites, OceanWP Demos, and Elementorism from CSSIgniter, together they provide over 300 free templates for every taste.

What's the difference between Elementor templates and regular WordPress themes?

A WordPress theme defines the overall site structure (header, footer, sidebar, typography styles), while an Elementor template is the design of a specific page or section within it. You can use any Elementor template with a compatible theme. Some sources (Astra, OceanWP) are tightly tied to "their" theme, others are universal.

Do I need Elementor Pro to import templates?

Basic import works in the free version of Elementor. But many premium templates use Pro widgets (forms, sliders, WooCommerce grids, popups), which simply won't display without Pro. If you plan to actively work with templates, Elementor Essential for $49/year is a reasonable investment.

Is it safe to download templates from third-party marketplaces?

Yes, if they're verified platforms: Envato Elements, TemplateMonster, Elementorism (CSSIgniter). They all check files before publication. Avoid "nulled" templates and files from torrent trackers, they often have malicious code embedded. Katka's lifetime license for $39 removes the temptation to look for cracked versions.

Can I use one purchased template on multiple sites?

Depends on the license. Katka and Ferdy Korpershoek allow unlimited use. Envato Elements only during an active subscription. TemplateMonster is usually one site (you need an extended license for multiple). Always check the license agreement before purchase.

Which Elementor template source is right for you?

The choice comes down to three scenarios. Working with clients at scale, get Envato Elements for $16.50/mo: the subscription covers both templates and stock photos. Need one or two templates for a specific project, TemplateMonster with individual purchase from $10 will be more profitable. Want maximum for minimum money, Katka for $39 lifetime: 135 pages, 240 blocks, and 114 popups have no equal in price-to-volume ratio.

If your site is already built on Astra, get Starter Sites and don't complicate things. On OceanWP, likewise, their demo collection is impressive. And when you need inspiration and understanding of "how it's done," Ferdy Korpershoek's channel remains the best free resource.

Try, import, customize. And share your finds in the comments, maybe we missed your favorite template source.
