About
A registry of free sound tools.
What is this
VST Directory is a static, no-signup directory of 302 free VST plugins — 111 instruments and 156 effects across 20 categories, from 87 developers.
Every entry links straight to the plugin developer's own page, where the official download lives. Nothing is hosted here, no accounts, no trackers, no download managers — just a fast registry you can search and filter.
How the catalog is built
VST Directory is an independent catalog. Every plugin is checked by hand: we confirm the developer, the supported formats and platforms, and that the download page is the official one before an entry goes live.
Every entry is genuinely free — either fully free or a fully usable free tier of a paid plugin.
Suggest a plugin
Know a great free plugin that's missing? The bar is simple: it must be genuinely free (or have a useful free tier), available from an official page, and stable enough to recommend.
Email hello@vstdirectory.app with the plugin name, developer, and official URL — it will be reviewed and added to the registry.
