## About

Marketplace for graphic design assets including logos, templates, icons, and print materials

## Activity summary

Blocked in Syria, confirmed by community testing in April 2026, where access from a Syrian connection returned an Envato-branded block page served through Cloudflare. The team sent official outreach to parent company Shutterstock in April 2026, requesting a review of the Syria restrictions across its platforms. No response yet.

## Official timeline

- 2026-04-11 — Contacted Company. Official outreach email sent to Shutterstock at legal-notices@shutterstock.com requesting review of Syria IP restrictions for Envato Elements, ThemeForest, AudioJungle, GraphicRiver, VideoHive, and TurboSquid under the current OFAC and BIS framework.

## Community reports

- 2026-04-10 — Investigated. Community testing confirmed that GraphicRiver is blocked in Syria. Accessing graphicriver.net from a Syrian IP (Syriatel ISP) returns an Envato-branded block page stating "Your request has been blocked," served via Cloudflare. The block page displays the visitor's IP address and a Cloudflare Ray ID, indicating geo-based access restrictions at the CDN level.

## Context

These are geo-restrictions the companies applied themselves, not filtering by Syrian ISPs and not a legal requirement. US and EU sanctions on Syria were lifted in 2025. See https://unblocksyria.com/llms.txt for the regulatory summary and https://unblocksyria.com/en/about for citations to the specific orders and regulations.
