GetIllustrations

GetIllustrations is a library of vector illustrations and icons for designers, developers and marketing teams. It offers 169K+ assets in SVG, PNG and editable Adobe Illustrator formats. The company describes premium artwork as hand-crafted by its design team, not AI-generated. A Figma plugin lets users search, insert and recolor assets; the site says the workflow also works with Adobe Illustrator, Adobe XD, Sketch, Webflow, Lucid and IconJar. Its REST API supports search, filtering and downloads, with API-key authentication and monthly quotas. The free API key includes 1,500 calls per calendar month; Pro includes 300,000. Free account access includes 40+ packs, while free illustration previews are low-resolution and watermarked. Free packs require link credit; paid plans include commercial licensing without attribution. Options include single packs at $19, paid once, API Pro at $49 a month, Ultimate Quarterly at $99 a month, and annual all-access plans. Ultimate Quarterly uses credits and excludes ZIP and layered source files. The service offers a free plan and no free trial.

GetIllustrations offers asset packs, design-tool workflows and API access, with different limits across free and paid options. Check the license, download formats and quotas for the plan you need.

It suits designers, developers and marketing teams sourcing illustrations or icons for client, product and app work. Developers can also use the REST API to search, filter and download assets.

GetIllustrations is a large vector illustration and icon library for designers, developers and marketing teams. It suits projects that need reusable artwork in design tools or via an API, while occasional users can start with free packs. The main buying decision is whether your work needs clean source files, broad download rights or substantial API capacity.

Overview

The catalog contains more than 169,000 illustrations and icons in SVG, PNG and editable Adobe Illustrator formats, with vector options also including EPS and Figma files. GetIllustrations says its premium artwork is hand-crafted by its design team rather than AI-generated, which will appeal to teams seeking a consistent, authored visual library for client, product and app work.

A free account includes more than 40 free packs and commercial use on those packs, but illustrations outside them are limited to low-resolution, watermarked PNG previews. Free packs require a link credit; paid plans remove that attribution requirement. Premium files require an account or plan with access, so the free tier is best for evaluating the catalog and using eligible packs rather than supplying polished assets from the entire library.

Key features

Design-tool workflows

The Figma plugin supports searching, inserting and recoloring assets inside Figma. GetIllustrations describes the same workflow for Adobe Illustrator, Adobe XD, Sketch, Webflow, Lucid and IconJar. That integration reduces file-handling for designers already working in those applications, while the broad format coverage gives teams flexibility when a plugin is not the right route.

API access

The REST API provides search, filtering, downloads and API-key authentication with monthly request quotas. The free developer key allows 1,500 calls per calendar month and free assets; premium assets appear as watermarked previews. API Pro raises the allowance to 300,000 calls and includes the entire icon and illustration library, clean SVG, PNG and source files, plus integration support. Enterprise removes the stated call ceiling and adds dedicated support, an SLA, an uptime guarantee and custom integration help, making it the sensible option for production services that cannot work within a fixed quota.

Custom work and account protections

The custom design service starts at $190 per project and averages two days for bespoke illustrations or icons. Ultimate access includes priority support, while privacy and security measures include no sale of personal information, Paddle-handled payment details, TLS in transit, bcrypt password hashing, need-to-know access controls, regular security reviews and encrypted S3 storage.

Pricing

The Free Account costs $0 forever, requires no card and includes 40+ free packs, low-resolution watermarked PNG previews for other illustrations, and SVG, PNG and AI files for free packs. It is appropriate for exploration and limited licensed use, but not for clean files from the wider catalog.

Single packs start at $19 per pack, with SVG, PNG, AI and Figma source files, a commercial license and free updates to the purchased pack. This is the practical choice for a one-off project that does not justify a subscription.

Developer API Free is $0 with any account and includes 1,500 calls per month. Developer API Pro costs $49 per month or $409 per year (about 30% less annually), with 300,000 calls, the full library, clean files and integration support. Enterprise uses custom pricing for unlimited calls and dedicated service.

Ultimate Quarterly is $99 per quarter, with all illustrations and icons and 1,800 credits per quarter. It supplies SVG and PNG downloads but excludes ZIP and layered source files, so source-heavy workflows should choose another plan. Illustrations All Access costs $195 per year, with optional auto-renewal at $97 per year, unlimited illustration-pack downloads, SVG, PNG, AI and Figma files, and a commercial license without attribution.

Ultimate All Access is $249 per year, with optional auto-renewal at $147 per year. It adds unlimited downloads of illustrations and icons, SVG, PNG, AI, Figma and ZIP files, two team seats, priority support and 40% off custom work. Lifetime Ultimate is $599 once, covering every illustration and icon, every format, future weekly updates, two seats, a commercial license and API access at the 1,500-calls-per-month free tier. The pricing page advertises a 14-day money-back guarantee; cancellation leaves downloaded files accessible permanently.

Platforms

GetIllustrations is available through the web and REST API, with plugins and workflows described for Figma, Adobe Illustrator, Adobe XD, Sketch, Webflow, Lucid and IconJar.

Who it's for

It is a strong fit for design teams standardizing illustration assets across products and client work, developers embedding an asset search or download workflow, and marketing groups needing commercial-use files in multiple formats. It is less suitable when you only need a handful of free, attribution-tolerant images or when a quarterly credit allowance cannot cover your volume.

Pros and cons

• Pros: More than 169,000 assets; SVG, PNG, AI, EPS and Figma coverage; plugin-based search and recoloring; API quotas up to 300,000 calls; paid commercial licensing without attribution; lifetime access option; bespoke work from $190.
• Cons: Free non-pack content is watermarked and low resolution; free packs need link credit; Ultimate Quarterly omits ZIP and layered source files; API Pro and annual plans add recurring cost; the free API tier is limited to 1,500 calls monthly.

Alternatives

Pixabay is the better choice for free photo and video media across web, mobile and API use, though full-resolution downloads require sign-up. Choose Ouch! by Icons8 when you want free illustrations with an attribution-based entry tier and broader platform coverage. Adobe Stock suits buyers seeking a paid stock marketplace with free-trial availability and asset-credit plans. SuperStock is worth considering for students needing 30 images and 10 videos monthly for non-commercial work. Yay Images offers credit and membership alternatives for web-based stock use. DrawKit fits users wanting unlimited free content without an account, with an optional $79-per-year Pro plan. IllustCenter is a narrower free-illustration option. Rawpixel is preferable when a free tier with 10 creative assets per day and public-domain downloads meets your needs.

Verdict

Choose GetIllustrations if you need a deep, multi-format illustration library with design-tool workflows and an API that can scale to serious request volumes. Its strongest case is the combination of source files, commercial licensing and flexible access plans. Look elsewhere if your priority is unrestricted free content, layered files under a quarterly budget, or a stock service centered on photography and video.
