Unsplash now accepts illustrations
A new home for illustrators.
Today we’re officially accepting vector illustrations to the free Unsplash Library!
Over the past 8 months, illustrations have been a part of the Unsplash+ subscription, and it’s been incredible to see the impact they’ve had—bringing unique value to a wide range of creative uses. We're excited to announce that illustrations are now a permanent addition to the Unsplash library.
Why illustrations?
Illustrations bring a unique and vibrant dimension to visual storytelling. They offer limitless creative possibilities, from whimsical cartoons to detailed technical drawings, and more. By welcoming vector illustrations, we aim to provide users with a richer, more diverse collection of visual content to inspire and enhance their creative projects.
What this means for contributors
If you're an illustrator, now is your time to shine! Join a community of talented photographers, 3D artists, and now, illustrators, to share your creativity with millions of users worldwide.
To get started, simply log into your Unsplash account and upload your vector illustrations just as you would photos. Our team will review submissions to ensure they meet our quality standards and align with our guidelines.
We currently only accept vectorized SVG files. We’re not able to accept .eps, .ai, .pdf or any raster file types. You can read our full submissions guidelines here.
What this means for users
This expansion means more variety and inspiration at your fingertips. Whether you’re working on a website, a marketing campaign, a presentation, or any other creative project, you’ll now have access to a diverse range of high-quality illustrations alongside our extensive photo collection.
Each illustration is a vector, available to download in SVG, EPS, PNG, and JPG formats for endless customization.
