About Open Peeps
Overview
Open Peeps is a hand-drawn illustration library that lets you build character scenes by mixing vector components like arms, legs, emotions, and clothing. Created by Pablo Stanley, it works like building blocks to create diverse people for any project.
The library is free for commercial and personal use under the CC0 License, meaning you can copy, modify, distribute, and use the work without asking permission. It is designed for anyone who needs quick, customizable people illustrations — from product designers to marketers to comic artists.
Key Benefits
- Over 584,688 possible combinations of hair, eyes, emotions, bodies, and facial hair.
- Free for commercial and personal use under the CC0 public domain license.
- Works with any design tool — Sketch, Figma, XD, or Studio — to mix nested components.
- Available in both PNG and SVG formats for flexible use across projects.
- Ready-to-download busts, standing, and sitting poses included.
How It Works
You download the library and open it in a design tool like Sketch, Figma, XD, or Studio. You mix nested vector components — choosing from curly, long, short, or no hair; clear lenses or sunnies; emotions; body types; and facial hair — to build a unique character. You can also change the black-and-white colors as a starting point and customize them further.
Use Cases
- Product designers creating user flows and product states with diverse character illustrations.
- Marketing teams building custom imagery for campaigns and social media content.
- Comic artists and storytellers assembling characters for sequential art.
- UX researchers developing personas and storyboards for user research.
- Students and educators creating visual materials for school projects and presentations.
- Anyone designing invitations — including quinceañera invitations — with hand-drawn character art.
Why Choose This Product

The CC0 license removes all restrictions, and the component-based system in vector format makes it easy to create thousands of unique characters without drawing from scratch.
