Iconify
Open-source icon framework that provides unified access to thousands of icon sets through a consistent API and tooling ecosystem.
Iconify is a comprehensive open-source icon framework designed to simplify how developers and designers work with icons across applications. Instead of relying on individual icon libraries, Iconify aggregates hundreds of open-source icon sets into a single standardized system, enabling consistent access and usage regardless of source.
The platform includes a large collection of icons (over 200,000+), along with tools, APIs, and components that allow users to search, retrieve, and render icons dynamically. Iconify uses a unified data format and naming convention, making it possible to use icons from different libraries interchangeably without needing to manage multiple dependencies.
It solves the fragmentation problem in icon usage by providing a single framework that supports integration across modern development environments and design tools. Developers can embed icons via web components, JavaScript libraries, or APIs that load icons on demand, reducing bundle size and improving performance. Designers can access the same icon sets through plugins for tools like Figma and Sketch, ensuring consistency between design and implementation.
Iconify is positioned as a flexible and scalable alternative to traditional icon libraries, offering both hosted and self-hosted solutions. Its ecosystem includes utilities for processing icon data, APIs for fetching icons, and integrations with frontend frameworks such as React, Vue, and Svelte.
Key features include:
- Access to 200,000+ open-source icons from 200+ icon sets
- Unified icon format and naming system across libraries
- On-demand icon loading via API and web components
- Integration with frameworks like React, Vue, Svelte, and plain HTML
- Plugins for design tools such as Figma and Sketch
Common use cases include:
- Integrating icons into web and mobile applications
- Building design systems
- Prototyping user interfaces
- Dynamically loading icons in frontend projects
- Maintaining consistent icon usage across teams
Iconify is developed and maintained as an open-source project, with contributions and repositories available on GitHub under the Iconify organization.
