I’m looking for recommendations on some of the best free Tumblr themes. Any suggestions for clean, customizable, or popular themes would be really helpful. Thanks!

Some of the top free Tumblr themes are Optica, which is very clean and minimal; Indigo, which is excellent for photos and portfolios; Minimalism, which is fast and very clean; Synde, which supports grid layouts and sidebars; and Ultrazen, which is simple but has good customization. These five themes are all officially available in the Tumblr Theme Garden and are great for blogs, photography, or personal pages.
