Iconify

Use it when

You need a single place to browse and insert open-source UI icons into product interfaces—especially when the team wants Figma SVG inserts and matching front-end components without juggling many icon libraries.

What it does well

• Unified access to 200+ open-source icon sets and 300k+ cleaned, optimized vector icons
• Free Figma and Sketch plugins that always import icons as SVG
• Browse/search on Iconify (or alternatives like Icones), then copy SVG or code samples
• Developer components, SVG/CSS workflows, and a public API to avoid single-vendor icon lock-in
• Fully free open-source tooling—no paywall to unlock vector export

Skip it when

• You need AI-generated custom icons or illustration sets—that's Recraft territory
• You want a commercial icon marketplace with packaged licensing certificates—compare Icons8 or Noun Project
• A specific set's license (attribution, share-alike, etc.) doesn't fit your product—pick another set or commission custom work
• You're designing logos or full brand marks—use a logo/brand tool, not an UI icon framework

Fits your workflow

In Figma or Sketch, install the Iconify plugin, search, and insert SVG into your UI kit. For other tools, copy SVG from the Iconify icon sets site. Hand the same icon names to engineering via Iconify components or SVG/CSS so design and code stay aligned. Keep a short license checklist per set you ship.
