Storyset
Customisable illustrations
Free tier + paidDesign tools, color & typestoryset.com
What it is
Freepik's illustration library with an in-browser editor: change the colour scheme, swap background shapes, tweak the character, then export SVG, PNG or an animated version. Free downloads require crediting Storyset; a Freepik Premium subscription lifts the attribution requirement.
Why it earns a slot
The animation export is the differentiator — a moving hero illustration at no cost and with no Lottie pipeline to build. Editing before download also lets you dodge the identical-illustration look.
Know before you commit
Attribution is mandatory on the free tier and must be a visible credit, not a line in your repo. You also cannot use the illustrations in a logo or trademark, resell them as stock, or use editorial-only content commercially.
Neighbourhood
How Storyset sits against the rest of the atlas — swaps, companions and the tools builders actually save alongside it.
