“I’ve had it for a little over a year now and absolutely love it. The variety and different tools it provides is definitely worth it — I find myself mixing tools from different Quest sets every edit.”

Edit with Intention.

Quest began with a simple belief: that access to new, inspiring tools makes better artists. Our team of photographers, developers, and creatives have spent 18+ years immersed in the craft — and every preset we release carries that same dedication.

Thinking of joining?

Yes. Your monthly credit works on any set — the newest release or any of 70+ past collections, like Falena or Autumnal. Enter your credit code at checkout and the $38 drops to zero.

Yes. Your credit covers one set each month, and you can add any other set for $38 at checkout without a credit.

Yes. Trail Mix is a free preset every member gets on the 15th, and it doesn’t use your credit — so you get it whatever set you claim.

A full set, not a single preset. Most collections include a creative profile, 3 presets built on it, and 3 tools that push the look further — some of the earlier sets and toolsets include more. Every piece is yours to keep.

Two options: $18 a month billed monthly, or $60 billed up front every six months — $48 less than six months on the monthly plan. You pay up front, and your credits still arrive one a month, so you pick a new collection each month. Each one is a $38 value, so six months is over $220 worth of collections for $60. Cancel yourself from your account, no email needed. Your membership runs to the end of the period you've paid for. Either plan includes free Society membership at our sister store.

Yes to both. Cancel anytime from your account in two clicks — no email needed — and your membership simply won’t renew. Everything you’ve downloaded stays yours permanently.
