If you're working with dark backgrounds and want your illustrations to stand out, here's how you can ensure they look their best.

Which illustration set is best for dark backgrounds?

All of Streamline’s illustration sets are designed to work well on dark backgrounds because they are fully editable vector files. You can easily customize them by adjusting the colors in your preferred vector editing software, such as Adobe Illustrator or Figma, or by using our in-app editor directly on our website.

How do I edit illustrations to look good against dark backgrounds?

To make illustrations stand out against dark backgrounds, you can:

Adjust the colors: Edit the illustration’s colors to create a strong contrast. Lighter, brighter colors typically work best against dark backgrounds. You can modify these colors in any vector editing software.

Use a background container: A great way to ensure your illustration is visible is by placing it inside a filled background container (like a circle, square, or custom shape) to create contrast. This technique makes the illustration pop without relying solely on color adjustments.

For an added touch, Streamline offers a variety of background container shapes in our Elements library, which can be used to frame your illustrations perfectly.
