Realistic looks that read as real photos: editorial and lifestyle light, cinematic color grades, studio portraits, documentary and product shots. Use them when the image has to feel captured, not drawn.

Real photography combined with illustration: ink wash over a photo, scrapbook collage, doodles drawn around a subject. They keep a recognisable photo at the center and add a hand-made layer on top.

From grainy 90s cel animation to glossy modern key visuals, webtoon panels and chibi characters. Compare line weight, shading and palette, then reuse a visual direction while reviewing each image for detail changes.

Bold outlines, halftone dots, flat cel colors and expressive characters, from classic newspaper strips to modern cartoon shows. Good for mascots, stickers, explainers and anything that should feel playful.

Soft watercolor washes, gouache and colored pencil in the warm tone of a picture book. These are the styles people pick for children's books, greeting cards and gentle editorial illustration.

Oil, impasto, impressionist and other painterly looks with visible brushwork and rich color. Use them to turn a portrait, pet or landscape into something that looks like it belongs on a wall.

Flat vector shapes, bold type-friendly layouts, risograph and screen-print textures. They hold up at small sizes, which makes them a good fit for posters, ads, thumbnails and brand illustration.

Pencil, ink, marker and line-art styles, from loose notebook doodles to careful technical drawing. The largest category in the library, and the quickest way to make an image feel hand-made.

Clay, felt, paper cut, plastic toys and soft 3D renders. Every subject turns into a small physical object, which works especially well for products, mascots, icons and kids' content.

Pixel art, 8-bit and 16-bit game screens, vintage print and other looks borrowed from older media. Use them for nostalgia, game assets and anything that should feel like it came from another decade.
