Can I use Humaaans illustrations for commercial projects?

Updated

Yes. Humaaans illustrations are released under a CC0 Public Domain license and the site states they are free for commercial or personal use. You can download them and use them in client work, products, marketing pages, and other commercial projects without paying a fee or providing attribution.

What the license allows

The Humaaans site labels the library CC0 Public Domain License and says it is "Free for commercial or personal use." CC0 is a public domain dedication, which means the creator (Pablo Stanley) has waived copyright and related rights to the extent allowed by law.

In practical terms, that covers:

  • Commercial use — client projects, paid products, landing pages, ads, internal business materials
  • Personal use — invitations, side projects, personal sites
  • Modification — remixing bodies, hairdos, tops, and pants, then using the result
  • No attribution required — crediting Pablo Stanley is optional, not a condition of use

What you can actually build with it

The library is designed for mix-and-match assembly rather than fixed scenes:

  • Change the hairdos, tops, and pants to create your own remix
  • Rotate and position elements — the site describes the parts as "legos made out of flesh... and vectors"
  • Use templates for onboardings, grids, or empty/error/success states
  • Add ambience to content with scene elements

The site lists example uses including error and success states, landing pages, birthday invitations, and even tattoos.

Tools and formats

The illustrations are built for design tools:

  • InVision Studio and Sketch are named as the design library targets
  • A demo is noted as made with InVision Studio
  • The site also references Blush as a way to use the library

If you work in a different tool, you would need to confirm format compatibility yourself — the page evidence only names InVision Studio and Sketch.

Practical notes before you ship

  • CC0 covers the illustrations, not your whole project. Your own text, logos, and other assets keep their own licensing.
  • Keep a record of the license. Even without an attribution requirement, saving the license statement with your project files is useful if a client or platform asks.
  • Check the source page for updates. Licensing statements can change; the CC0 label is what the site currently states.
  • Third-party names are trademarks. InVision Studio, Sketch, Blush, and Webflow are referenced as tools and platforms, not as part of the license grant.

Bottom line

If your question is simply "can I use these commercially," the answer is yes — CC0, free for commercial or personal use, no attribution required. Download the assets, remix them as needed, and use them in your project.
