What is Humaaans?

Humaaans is a free illustration library by Pablo Stanley that lets you build people from separate parts, changing hairstyles, tops, trousers, poses and scenes. The illustrations are released under a CC0 public domain licence, so you can use them in personal and commercial work without attribution.

Pros: what Humaaans does well

  • CC0 licence for any use
  • Highly customisable characters
  • Works well for landing pages and empty states

Cons: where it falls short

  • The style is widely used and easy to recognise
  • Editing works best in a design app

Who Humaaans is for

Designers and founders who need friendly people illustrations for websites and apps.

Who can skip it

Brands that need a unique, custom illustration style.
