Can I use free illustrations in commercial projects?
Most libraries here allow commercial use — read each license. Blush may require a subscription for certain export formats; open-source packs often use MIT or similar terms.

Last updated: June 2026
The best free illustration packs for web designers start with unDraw, Humaaans, Blush, and Open Peeps — open-source and customizable libraries you can recolor for marketing pages and empty states. Free here usually means open components you can edit — not unlimited bespoke scenes. Check each library's license before using art in a paid product.

How to pick one
- Pick one illustration style per site — mixing Blush scenes with unrelated 3D characters reads as accidental.
- Avatar generators suit team pages and onboarding; full-scene libraries suit marketing hero sections.
- Confirm whether you can edit colors to match your brand without breaking the artist's style rules.
Frequently Asked Questions
Illustrations or icons for empty states?
Spot illustrations humanize empty states better than icons alone. Keep them simple so they support — not compete with — the primary call to action.
What are the best free illustration libraries for websites?
Blush, unDraw, Humaaans, and Open Peeps offer free or freemium packs. Blush and Humaaans support customization for marketing and empty-state UI.
How do I match illustrations to my brand colors?
Pick libraries with editable color controls — Blush and many SVG packs let you adjust fills before export to match your design tokens.
Should I use one illustration style per project?
Yes. Mixing styles makes interfaces feel accidental. Choose one library or artist direction for marketing, empty states, and onboarding.
