Should we use Humaaans in 2025?

I have been using Humaaans since its earliest versions, integrating it into our workflows at Easy Web for several years now. What really won me over and has become a major asset is its unparalleled modularity for creating diverse characters.

This tool really shines when you need illustrations of people for your mockups, client presentations, or even user interfaces. You can mix and match bodies, heads, clothing, poses, backgrounds, and more. It saves an incredible amount of time and helps you achieve a consistent and inclusive look.

That said, it's important to understand its limitations. Humaaans is fantastic for characters, but it's not a generic image bank. For more complex graphics or very specific artistic direction, you'll still need your usual design tools like Figma or other resources.

Are you new to design or need quick illustrations without being an expert in drawing? Humaaans is clearly your ally. Its drag-and-drop approach and library of pre-illustrated characters make it incredibly accessible. In just a few clicks, you can assemble poses, change clothes and skin tones, and create custom scenes. It's ideal for dressing up a landing page, client presentation, or even social media posts, without having to take an advanced illustration course.

Honestly, it saves a tremendous amount of time and reduces frustration. The learning curve is virtually non-existent. You can quickly create professional, consistent visuals without having to master complex software like Illustrator. It's the perfect solution for rapid prototyping or for those who want to incorporate cool illustrations without spending a fortune on licenses or custom illustrations. It democratizes access to quality design.

The cost of a tool is often the first question that comes up, isn't it? Especially when you're managing a budget, whether for an agency like Easy Web or as a freelancer. Humaaans is very clear about this, and I appreciate that.

First, there's the Free plan. It's a great starting point to explore the tool with a selection of illustrations and basic customization features. Ideal for students, casual creators, or just for a quick test before committing. That's where I first got my hands on it, just to see the potential.

Next, for professionals, the Pro plan costs around €19 per month. This gives you unlimited access to the entire character library, with advanced customization options such as poses and facial expressions, and, most importantly, a commercial license. For freelancers or small teams looking to optimize their graphic design workflows, this is a smart investment. The time saved and creative flexibility are considerable, providing a real boost to your client projects.

When we talk about Humaaans, the first thing that comes to mind is its incredible flexibility. Imagine being able to assemble heads, bodies, poses, and even clothes like Lego bricks. That's exactly what it's like. This modular approach allows you to create an infinite number of unique characters in just a few clicks, without being a professional illustrator. At Easy Web, we quickly realized the enormous time savings for our mock-ups and client presentations, while still maintaining a highly personalized touch.

But Humaaans doesn't stop there. Beyond assembly, customization reigns supreme. You can change colors, add backgrounds, and integrate objects so that your illustrations align perfectly with your project's graphic charter. And the best part? Vector export. You can then import these characters into Figma or Sketch and manipulate them. For us, this means impeccable visual consistency and a smooth workflow that will be essential in 2025.

What really impressed me about Humaaans is its ability to generate personalized characters that go far beyond basic avatars. You can mix and match heads, torsos, and legs from different illustrations, as well as vary clothing and hairstyles. It seems simple, but this flexibility opens up incredible creative possibilities for representing a diversity of individuals, without being limited to prefabricated clichés.

Another strong point is the customization of poses and expressions. You are not limited to a static library. Humaaans allows you to adjust the orientation of limbs and change facial expressions to match exactly the emotion or action you want to convey. This is what transforms a simple illustration into powerful visual storytelling for your projects.
