Sketch
For Education

An Education plan includes a free Workspace with 50 GB of storage and Editor seats (depending on your education status) with access to the Mac app for one year.

Academic Institutions are entitled to a Workspace with multiple seats – dependent on meeting certain criteria.

Students currently enrolled in studies and employed Teachers can receive a Workspace with 1 Editor seat, which allows access to the Mac app.

If you’re a Student or Teacher, you can use Sketch for free for as long as the use is part of your studies or the course you’re teaching. Similarly, if you represent an Academic Institution, you can freely offer Sketch to your students as part of your course(s).

If you’re a Student, you need to be 16 years of age or older, be enrolled at a College, University, High school, or an online course duration of at least 2 months. Also, if enrolled in a course, it’s required that the course fees are at a minimum the regular cost of Sketch.

For Teachers, you’ll need to provide proof of your employment. If you’re applying on behalf of an Academic Institution, the Institution must include Sketch as part of the course(s) syllabus.

We’re afraid that the Educational Plan does not apply to anyone with home-learning or Self-Education, Not-for-Profit organizations, and Marketing departments from Academic Institutions.

After your Workspace has been created and we receive your application form, you should hear from us via email within 2-3 business days. If you do not see any emails from us please check your spam folder and then reach out to us here.

As an Editor, you can use the Mac app across multiple devices simply by signing in with your Sketch account. You can find the steps on how to download and sign into the Mac app here.

Each Editor in a Workspace can use their own Sketch account to log into the Sketch platform on any device they own – but sharing credentials to access and use Sketch is a violation of our terms of service agreement and may result in the suspension of your account.

Yes — we’ll gladly evaluate your renewal request! Send us your extension request via the Education page here. Our team will review it and get in touch as soon as possible.

At this time we can’t offer a free Education Workspace for home learning/self-education purposes.

We can’t grant Education Workspaces to non-profit organizations, start-ups, and marketing departments at educational institutions.

There’s also a minimum age requirement for an Education Workspace – it’s 16. You might be wondering why. It’s a legal and privacy thing. Everybody who uses Sketch enters into a binding agreement, so our users need to be a minimum age to accept it. We also take privacy rules very seriously, such as the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA).

We’ll evaluate such cases individually, so do get in touch with us.
