Open Peeps

Overview Open Peeps is a hand-drawn illustration library created by Pablo Stanley as part of the Open Doodles project. It lets designers build characters by mixing vector components such as arms, legs, emotions, hairstyles, and clothing. The library is released under the CC0 License, making it free for both commercial and personal use without requiring permission. It is designed for product illustration, marketing imagery, comics, user flows, personas, storyboarding, and similar creative needs. Key Benefits Over 584,688 possible combinations of body parts, emotions, hairstyles, and accessories. Free for commercial and personal use under the CC0 public domain license. Works with any design tool that supports nested components, including Sketch, Figma, Adobe XD, and Studio. Assets are available in both PNG and SVG formats for busts, standing, and sitting poses. Black-and-white base colors can be customized to match any brand or project. How It Works You download the library, then open it in a design tool such as Sketch, Figma, XD, or Studio. You mix nested components — selecting a body, hairstyle, facial hair, eyewear, and emotion — to assemble a unique character. You can then export the character as PNG or SVG for use in your project. Use Cases Product designers creating user flows and interface mockups with human characters. Marketing teams building custom illustrations for landing pages, email campaigns, and social media. UX researchers and designers developing personas and storyboards for usability studies. Comic artists and illustrators looking for a fast way to generate character poses and expressions. Students working on school projects who need free, high-quality human illustrations. Freelancers and small agencies creating branded avatars for team pages or client deliverables. Why Choose This Product Open Peeps is best suited for designers and creators who need a free, flexible illustration system for representing people. The CC0 license removes all copyright restrictions, and the component-based approach makes it easy to generate diverse characters quickly. The library is limited to a single black-and-white style with no dedicated editor tool — users must bring their own design software to customize and compose assets.
