Bootstrap Icons
Open source SVG icon library for Bootstrap
Free, high-quality, open-source icon library with over 1,600 icons. Include them any way you like, SVGs, SVG sprite, or web fonts. Use them with or without Bootstrap in any project. Bootstrap Icons are published to npm, but they can also be manually downloaded if needed. Bootstrap Icons are SVGs, so you can include them into your HTML in a few ways depending on how your project is setup. We recommend using a width: 1em (and optionally height: 1em) for easy resizing via font-size. Embed your icons within the HTML of your page (as opposed to an external image file). Here we’ve used a custom width and height. Use the SVG sprite to insert any icon through the <use> element. Use the icon’s filename as the fragment identifier (e.g., toggles is #toggles). SVG sprites allow you to reference an external file similar to an <img> element, but with the power of currentColor for easy theming. -

svg react icons of popular icon packs
Include popular icons in your React projects easily with react-icons, which utilizes ES6 imports that allows you to include only the icons that your project is using.

Suitable for MeteorJS, Gatsbyjs etc. SVG is supported by all major browsers. With react-icons, you can serve only the needed icons instead of one big font file to the users, helping you to recognize which icons are used in your project. From version 3, vertical-align: middle is not automatically given. Import path has changed. You need to rewrite from the old style. You can add more icons by submitting pull requests or creating issues. -

React Native Vector Icons
Customizable Icons for React Native with full styling
Perfect for buttons, logos and nav/tab bars. Easy to extend, style and integrate into your project. If you want to use any of the bundled icons, you need to add the icon fonts to your Xcode project. For each platform (iOS/Android/Windows) you plan to use, follow one of the options for the corresponding platform. Upgrading this package often requires the font files linked to your projects to be updated as well. If the automatic linking works for you, running this again should update the fonts. You can either use one of the bundled icons supported or roll your own custom font. Since Icon builds on top of the Text component, most style properties will work as expected, you might find it useful to play around with background color, border width, border color, border radius, padding, margin, color, font size, etc. -

Ionicons
Hand-crafted icons built by Ionic for web apps
Premium designed icons for use in web, iOS, Android, and desktop apps. Support for SVG and web font. Completely open source, MIT licensed and built by Ionic. Ionicons is a completely open-source icon set with 1,300 icons crafted for web, iOS, Android, and desktop apps. Ionicons was made for Ionic Framework, a cross-platform hybrid and Progressive Web App framework. The Ionicons Web Component is an easy and performant way to use Ionicons in your app. The component will dynamically load an SVG for each icon, so your app is only requesting the icons that you need. Also note that only visible icons are loaded, and icons which are "below the fold" and hidden from the user's view do not make fetch requests for the svg resource. If you're using Ionic Framework, Ionicons is packaged by default, so no installation is necessary. -

Papirus
Papirus icon theme for Linux
Papirus is a free and open source SVG icon theme for Linux, based on Paper Icon Set with a lot of new icons and a few extras, like Hardcode-Tray support, KDE colorscheme support, Folder Color support, and others. Some software uses an absolute path instead of the icon name in a .desktop file or in the source code which makes them unthemable. To deal with hardcoded application icons we recommend using hardcode-fixer. Papirus supports most of the applications in the list. If hardcode-fixer doesn't support your favorite app yet, please open an issue here or edit your .desktop file manually. To fix icons of running Steam games, you can use Steam Icons Fixer script, that will connect all icons available from our icon theme with your installed games. -

Lucide
Beautiful & consistent icon toolkit made by the community
Community-run fork of Feather Icons, open for anyone to contribute icons. It began after growing disaffection with the Feather Icons project moderation. With over 300+ open issues and over 100+ open PRs, the Feather Icons project has been abandoned. This unfortunately means that hundreds of developers and designers wasted their time contributing to Feather Icons with no chance of PRs being accepted. Lucide is trying to expand the icon set as much as possible while staying faithful to the original simplistic design language. We do this as a community of devs and designers and hope that you'll join us. At its core, Lucide is a collection of SVG files. This means that you can use Lucide icons in all the same ways you can use SVGs (e.g. img, background-image, inline, object, embed, iframe). -

Phosphor Icons
The homepage of Phosphor Icons, a flexible icon family for everyone
Phosphor is a flexible icon family for interfaces, diagrams, presentations, whatever, really. 1047 icons and counting. 6 weights: Thin, Light, Regular, Bold, Fill, and Duotone. Designed at 16 x 16px to read well small and scale up big. Raw stroke information retained to fine-tune the style. We use a similar approach as many other icon sets out there, providing icons as a webfont that uses Unicode's Private Use Area character codes to map normally non-rendering characters to icons. But you don't need to know that. Phosphor's intuitive but powerful API can style the color, size, and weight of an icon with a few keystrokes, provide default styles to all icons via the Context API, or directly manipulate the SVG at runtime through render props to do some amazing things! Supports tree-shaking, so your bundle only includes code for the icons you use. -

SFSafe Symbols
Safely access Apple's SF Symbols using static typing
At WWDC 2019, Apple announced a new library of icons that came included with that year's new operating system versions. To browse them, there's a dedicated Mac app called SF Symbols. You can be sure your symbol code won't crash due to typos or symbol availability issues. This is because all symbols are tested via a CI (on the latest iOS & tvOS versions and also some earlier OS versions). Lookups in the SF Symbols app (e. g. about available layersets, available localizations & the look of the symbol) are no longer needed because every symbol is documented in code. Multiple SF Symbols versions are supported at the same time (via utilization of the @availability flag). Each symbol is only made available on those platform versions where Apple says it's available. Renamed symbols can be detected easily (via a deprecation notice which suggests the use of the new name at the same time). -

Academicons
An icon font for academics
Academicons is a specialist icon font for academics. It contains icons for websites and organizations related to academia that are often missing from mainstream font packages. It can be used by itself, but its primary purpose is to be used as a supplementary package alongside a larger icon set. Go here to view the full icon set along with instructions for their use. The organization in question is already using a logo/icon of appropriate dimensions (roughly square). If that doesn't exist, then there's really not much that can be done, and the request will have to be ignored until such time that a logo/icon can be provided. An icon of appropriate resolution can be provided or linked to. Ideally, the provided file will be a vector file (e.g. SVG, EPS, AI) or a PDF with the vector file embedded. These files are all very easy to work with, and result in the most faithful reproductions of the icon.
Guide to Open Source Icon Sets
Open source icon sets are collections of icons created by designers from all over the world that have been released to the public domain for anyone to use. They are often used in web and software design projects, but can be used for a myriad of other purposes. Typically, open source icons come in various formats - SVG, PNG, or AI - making them easy to edit or customize and adapt according to the user’s needs.
The primary benefit of using open source icon sets is that they are free to use without fear of copyright infringement. The creator may specify certain types of usage requirements, such as allowing modifications or requiring proper attribution when using them commercially, but generally speaking you won’t have to worry about getting into legal trouble when using these icons. Additionally, since many designers contribute work and resources to open source icon sets, there is usually a good selection of high-quality designs available.
Lastly, when using an open source icon set it’s important to follow the license guidelines set forth by its creators; for example if specified on their terms page some icon sets may require you give credit back to the designer who created it, not resell them as your own design work, or not use them within any offensive context. Following these guidelines allows us all to share freely and build upon one another's creations while still giving credit where credit is due.
What Features Do Open Source Icon Sets Provide?
- Vector Format: Open source icon sets often come in vector format, which means that the artwork is made up of points, lines and curves rather than pixels. This allows icons to be resized without any loss of quality, meaning they can be used for a variety of sizes without compromising their look.
- Scalability: Open source icons are usually designed with scalability in mind, meaning they look good at any size. This makes them great for responsive design and other applications where you need to fit the same icon into different contexts.
- Variety: Most open source icon sets provide a large selection of icons that cover many topics and subjects. This gives designers more options when choosing what type of icon to use for their project.
- Customizable: Many open source icon sets can be customized by changing colors and shapes, or even creating your own unique versions from the original artwork. This allows designers to tailor an icon set to their specific needs or tastes.
- Flexibility: Open source icons are often free to use however you want, which gives you plenty of flexibility when it comes to incorporating them into your designs or products. You don’t have to worry about copyright infringement as long as you follow any conditions imposed by the license agreement associated with the set.
What Are the Different Types of Open Source Icon Sets?
- Public Domain Icons: These are icons which are released under public domain licenses, meaning anyone is free to use, modify and share them for any purpose. They often include classic designs such as the copyright symbol and basic shapes like circles, squares, and arrows.

- Open Source Icons: Open source icons are those that have been created with open source software or released under an open source license. This means anyone is free to modify or redistribute them as long as the original author's credits remain intact.
- Free Icon Sets: Many developers release their own icon sets for free on their websites, blogs or repositories such as GitHub. While these sets may not be covered by a specific license or be considered “open source” they can still provide valuable resources for designers who need a quick fix or starting point for their work.

Getting Started With Open Source Icon Sets
Getting started with open source icon sets is easy and can be a great way to enhance your projects. First, you need to find an open source icon set that has the icons you need. There are many websites where you can start looking, including The Noun Project and Icons8. Once you have found a set of icons that meets your needs, the next step is downloading them. Most icon sets are provided in files such as .svg or .png, which can be downloaded from the respective website and saved on your computer for later use.
Once you have downloaded your desired icon set(s), you can begin using them in your projects. Depending on what type of project you are working on, there may be different ways of implementing these icons. If you’re working on a website, for example, then it’s best to look into the HTML/CSS code for your project so that the appropriate code for displaying the icons is included in the design. For desktop applications or other types of software development projects, you may want to take a look at how to incorporate vector images into coding languages such as Java or C# so that they are displayed correctly within your application.
No matter what type of project you’re working on though, it’s important to make sure that all copyright notices associated with the open source icon set(s) are included somewhere when publishing or distributing them (often this means keeping a “Credits” file close at hand). This helps ensure that proper attribution is given to whomever created those icons and shows respect for their hard work. With these simple steps followed, soon enough any user will be up and running with open source icon sets for their projects.
