Whether you’re a reader, or a publisher looking for a place to publicize your tutorials, this collection of our favorite Tutorial directories is sure to please!
The Tutorial Index Giants
Good-Tutorials
Good-Tutorials was originally a site dedicated to building the largest Photoshop Tutorial index in the world. Over the years, it has gradually added more and more tutorial categories, and remains to be one of the largest Tutorial Indexes out there.
Pixel2Life
Pixel2Life is probably THE LARGEST Tutorial Index on the planet, currently listing over 40,000 tutorials in various categories. They’ve always been quick to add new tutorial topics, and have a wonderful community always willing to lend a helping hand to beginners.
Tutorial Outpost
One of our other favorite Tutorial Indexes would have to be Tutorial Outpost. While they may not be as large or busy as G-T and P2L, they certainly have come to be very well known, and they update on a frequent basis with new tutorials.
User Link Feeds
PSDTUTS User Link Feed
Wait… PSDTUTS? They’re not a Tutorial Index… Oh, but they have such a lovely User Link Feed! Anyone can go and quickly submit a link with a quick blurb, and if it meets up to standards, PSDTUTS will share it with their loyal readers! Not necessarily all of their links are tutorials, but you’ll definitely come across some top quality articles if you keep an eye on their feed!
VECTORTUTS User Link Feed
Look familiar? VECTORTUTS is a sister site to PSDTUTS, and has a feed of its own geared towards Vector design (ie: Adobe Illustrator Tutorials).
Digg-like Link Sharing
Design Float
Design Float is probably the top Digg clone out there for anything Design related. They don’t simply focus on Tutorials, but the audience there seems to float them up quite often.
Design Bump
Design Bump is quickly growing, and already causing quite a stir in the Design community. They have a category completely dedicated to Tutorials, making them a wonderful resource for learning.
Fresh, New Faces
Photoshop Lady
Photoshop Lady is a collection of the Top Free Photoshop Tutorials from around the web, all in one place. The site is updated daily, and features some wonderful features, such as the ability to easily save your favorite tutorials to revisit later! This one is definitely one of our new favorites!
Think2torials
Think2torials makes things super simple when it comes to submitting new tutorials, and the folks who run the site help you out in the process of creating a thumbnail. This is an index worth watching!
Growing Fast!
Tutsbuzz
Becoming one of the top tutorial directories out there is a tough job, but Tutsbuzz is one of the few sites out there that seems capable of doing it. The site is managed by a seemingly very active group, and is constantly updated with new tutorials under several categories.

Thanks so much for sharing, I hadn’t seen many of the Digg clone tut sites before so will have to try them out!
great sites !
loving it, keep on rocking… =]
These are the sites I use daily. Thanks for taking the time to show the PS people where to seek help.
I wonder why you listed Pixel Groovy, it`s latest top item was added 249 days ago. Seems like dead project.
Hi David, you have created a great list.
I would suggest also my site, The Photoshop Roadmap: http://www.photoshoproadmap.com
It is one of the oldest Photoshop directories around (10 years old). It is updated daily (except on sundays!) and it has a database of about 4500 tutorials, downloads and plugins.
Thanks!
Great collection, nice one.
Nice list. These Digg clone sites are great.
@ KAC – Sadly, it does seem pretty dead at this point. Very few submissions as of late… and the recent ones seem to all be filled with spam. It’s a shame for such a beautiful interface to hit rock bottom like that. Went ahead and removed it from the list.
Hey David, thanks for the link love to Tutorial Outpost. Much appreciated.
No problem Josh
Been using Tutorial Outpost for years it seems! It keeps getting better and better!
Hey David, great list there!
I thought I’d let you know about my site, Tutorialsphere (http://www.tutorialsphere.com). It’s new, but growing constantly (there are over 4500 tutorials listed, as well as several new features in the works).
Nice collection David. I actually had this topic on a list of posts to develop but you beat me to it. I like Design Float a lot and Design Bump is coming on strong as well.
@Steven Snell: Hey Steven, there’s actually quite a few others that I’ve found in the short time since making this list that I might be falling for, so no harm if you share a few of your favorites
Actually, I’d like to put together a list of sites that that do community link submissions, including DesignM.ag. Those seem to really be picking up pace lately – and I think they’re wonderful ideas.
Thanks for dropping by mate!
@Steven Snell: Oh, and I very much appreciate your inclusion of this on DesignM.ag’s recent Community News. Just saw that!
Simply the best ! Bookmarked.
Hi David really a great collection of index. Good Job!
Hi! I was surfing and found your blog post… nice! I love your blog.
Cheers! Sandra. R.
