Free organism illustration library

This library includes image files for a variety of organisms.

We include a silhouette (SVG), tricolor stroke (SVG), and a raster (PNG) file for most organisms. All files have a transparent background.

All images are released under CC0, which has no usage restrictions. That said, feel free to cite the associated pub, "A free, open-access library of high-quality organism illustrations for science communication," to help others find this resource.
