What is Ouch by Icons8?

Ouch by Icons8 is a library of style-based illustrations designed for consistent product and marketing visuals. Unlike generic stock sites, Ouch organizes assets into style families with shared proportions, line thickness, palette logic, and spacing, allowing teams to assemble cohesive visual kits without commissioning custom artwork for every sprint.

How is Ouch different from other stock illustration sites?

Most marketplaces sell isolated pieces that often clash when used together. Ouch groups assets into style families that behave like small design systems, meaning characters, scenes, and props from the same style can be combined seamlessly. This ensures visual consistency across hero sections, product screens, empty states, and marketing materials without extensive design reviews.

What file formats does Ouch provide?

Ouch provides illustrations in two main formats: SVG for full design and engineering control, and large PNG exports for channels that don't support SVG well. SVG files are clean, editable, and can be inline with CSS variables for theme control, while PNGs ensure dependable rendering in email clients and social media platforms.

Can I customize Ouch illustrations to match my brand colors?

Yes, Ouch illustrations are fully customizable. SVG files can be edited in design tools or code, with fills and strokes mapped to your color tokens and CSS variables. This allows you to bind illustration colors to your design system, enabling automatic theme switching and brand-specific color application without creating new exports.

Is Ouch suitable for small teams and startups?

Absolutely. Ouch is built for teams that need coherent visuals without pausing delivery. Startups and small businesses can pick one style, freeze it for a quarter, and apply it consistently across their site, product, pitch deck, and marketing materials. This single choice provides visual cohesion while moving fast, with the option to commission custom scenes later for signature features.
