Icons8

Overview

Icons8 is a design asset library and creative tools platform offering free and paid access to icons, illustrations, vector graphics, stock photos, royalty-free music, 3D models, and AI-generated images. The platform serves designers, developers, and creators who need consistent, professionally-made visual and audio elements for projects.

The platform combines a massive asset library with native design apps (Lunacy for vector design), plugins for Figma and other tools, and AI-powered features like face swapping, background removal, image upscaling, and AI photo generation. Users can search, customize, and integrate these assets into websites, applications, videos, and other creative work without copyright restrictions under Icons8's free and paid licenses.

Key Benefits

• Access millions of design assets including icons, illustrations, photos, music, and 3D models from a single platform.
• Lunacy desktop app for Mac and Windows lets you design and edit graphics with built-in Icons8 assets without leaving the application.
• AI tools generate custom human faces, swap faces in photos, remove backgrounds, and upscale images automatically.
• Figma integration allows direct import of Icons8 graphics and seamless workflow between design tools.
• Free professional design app and free tier library reduce or eliminate upfront design tool costs.
• Hackable icon URLs and developer APIs let teams and apps programmatically request and integrate specific assets.

How It Works

Visit Icons8.com and search for the asset type you need — icons, illustrations, photos, music, or 3D models. Download directly or open the asset in Lunacy (the native design app) to customize colors, sizes, and styles. For designers using Figma, install the Icons8 plugin and import assets directly into your project. Access AI tools like Background Remover or Face Swapper from the main menu to automate image editing tasks without leaving the platform.

Use Cases

• Web and app developers who need royalty-free icons and illustrations for user interfaces, dashboards, and documentation sites.
• Video creators and YouTubers sourcing music tracks and stock footage to complete video projects without copyright risk.
• In-house brand and UI designers at agencies using Lunacy to design comps and mockups with consistent graphics already available in-library.
• Social media managers generating profile pictures and cover images using AI face generation and photo editing tools.
• E-commerce product teams creating custom product illustrations and lifestyle photography with AI upscaling.
• Freelance graphic and UX designers reducing project timelines by combining pre-made assets with AI-powered customization.

Why Choose This Product

Icons8 works best for individuals and teams that need a one-stop design asset library plus creative tools rather than managing subscriptions to separate icon, photo, music, and design app vendors. The free tier offers substantial access to assets and limited AI tool use, making it accessible for students, hobbyists, and cost-conscious teams. Pricing and feature tier details are not publicly listed on the homepage, requiring navigation to the pricing page for specifics.
