Best Free Illustration Packs for Web Designers
14 curated free illustrations
Last updated: June 2026
Custom illustration is expensive; empty gray boxes look unfinished. These libraries give you consistent character styles, avatars, and spot illustrations you can drop into marketing pages and empty states — from open-source packs like unDraw and Humaaans to customizable libraries like Blush and Open Peeps. Free here usually means open components you can recolor — not unlimited bespoke scenes. Check each library's license before using art in a paid product.

How to pick one

- 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
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.
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.
