Icon library with thousands of SVG icons. Search, preview, and download icons in various categories. Copy SVG code directly or download as SVG files.
Browse and download free SVG icons quickly and easily: Use the search bar to find icons by name or keyword — try specific terms like 'navigation', 'payment', or 'analytics' rather than generic words. Filter icons by category using the category buttons to browse curated collections like UI elements, social media logos, business symbols, and technology icons. Click on any icon to see a larger preview with size options ranging from 16px to 128px. Adjust the icon color using the color picker to verify it matches your design system before downloading. Copy the SVG code directly to your clipboard by clicking the 'Copy SVG' button for inline usage, or download the icon as an SVG file for use as an image source or in design tools.
SVG icons deliver crisp rendering at any resolution because they're defined by mathematical paths rather than pixel grids. A 24x24 PNG icon looks blurry on Retina displays (2x DPI) and requires separate @2x and @3x variants, while a single SVG scales perfectly across all screen densities. SVG files are typically 60-80% smaller than equivalent PNG files — a common navigation icon is 500 bytes as SVG versus 2KB as PNG. You can style SVG icons with CSS properties like fill, stroke, opacity, and filters, enabling hover effects and theme switching without loading additional assets. SVG icons support accessibility through <title> and <desc> elements that screen readers can interpret, plus role='img' and aria-label attributes for proper identification. Unlike icon fonts which require loading entire font files (often 50-100KB) for a handful of icons, SVG icons load individually and can be cached per-icon for optimal performance.
There are four primary methods for using SVG icons in web projects, each with tradeoffs. Inline SVG (pasting the SVG code directly into HTML) gives maximum CSS control and enables techniques like filling icons with gradient colors or animating individual paths, but increases HTML file size. Using <img src='icon.svg'> keeps SVGs in separate files for caching benefits but prevents CSS styling of internal elements. CSS background-image with SVG data URIs works well for pseudo-elements (::before, ::after) but makes color theming harder since the SVG is embedded in stylesheet rules. Importing SVGs as React/Vue components provides tree-shaking benefits where unused icons are excluded from the final bundle — tools like SVGO optimize the SVG code during build, removing unnecessary metadata and reducing file sizes by 20-40%. For large icon sets, consider using an icon sprite (a single SVG file containing all icons as <symbol> elements) referenced via <use>, which reduces HTTP requests to a single fetch.
Yes! All icons in this library are free for personal and commercial projects. You can use them in websites, apps, presentations, and products without attribution, though crediting the source is always appreciated.
Absolutely. SVG icons are vector-based XML code you can edit directly. Change colors by modifying fill/stroke attributes, resize by adjusting viewBox dimensions, or reshape by editing path data. Tools like Figma, SVG-edit, or even a text editor work for modifications.
Inline SVG lets you style icons with CSS (colors, animations, hover effects) because the SVG code lives inside your HTML. SVG as an image (<img tag>) loads from a separate file, enabling browser caching but preventing CSS styling of internal SVG elements. Choose inline for interactive icons, image for static decorative icons.
For inline SVG, add fill='currentColor' to the <svg> element, then set the color via CSS on the parent container. This makes icons automatically inherit the text color, simplifying theme changes. For downloaded SVG files, open them in a text editor and modify the fill attribute directly.
All modern browsers fully support SVG: Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge, and mobile browsers. SVG has been supported since IE9, though IE9-10 lack support for some advanced features like CSS styling of SVG elements. For legacy browser support, provide PNG fallbacks using <picture> element or JavaScript detection.
Run SVGs through SVGO (SVG Optimizer) during your build process to remove redundant attributes, simplify paths, and strip metadata. This typically reduces file sizes by 20-40%. For React/Vue projects, use svgr to convert SVGs to optimized components with automatic tree-shaking.
