いらすとや

📖 What is いらすとや?

An illustration distribution site known as the "Cute Free Material Collection." It has 150+ categories — children, occupations, illnesses, poses, and more — all downloadable for free. Handy for stream thumbnails, explainer slides, and chat topic images (commercial use is free for up to 20 assets per work; using 21 or more requires a paid arrangement, so watch your count if you use it heavily).

💡 When to Use It

The go-to choice when you want a stream thumbnail that instantly conveys a situation, like "someone with a cold" or "someone working on a computer." It also slots straight into announcement slides and rules-explainer graphics for first-time viewers with no extra assets needed. Lighter uses are common too, like pulling out one image for a chat-stream topic or as a reaction image during a game stream. As long as you keep the 20-asset limit for commercial designs in mind, you can cut your asset-hunting time to almost zero.

📋 Basic Info

🚀 How to Use

1. Step 1: Type a keyword in Japanese into the search box on irasutoya.com, or browse the homepage's category list (people, food, medical, seasonal, and 50+ more) to find the illustration you want.
2. Step 2: Open the illustration's page, right-click the displayed image, and select "Save Image As" to download the transparent PNG.
3. Step 3: Load it as an "Image" source in OBS and place it as a starting-soon screen, thumbnail, or cue-card image for a chatting stream.
4. Step 4: Keep the number of assets used in a single work to 20 or fewer (commercial designs using 21 or more require a paid arrangement; use via Canva is exempt from the asset limit).
5. Step 5: Redistributing or selling the assets as the main content, or using them for purposes against public order and morals, is prohibited — check the terms of use page for the latest conditions.
