About Ionicons
Overview
Ionicons is a premium open-source icon pack built by the Ionic team. The icons are hand-crafted for use in web, iOS, Android, and desktop applications.
It provides SVG support alongside all other standard icon formats. The pack is MIT-licensed and offered free of charge to developers and designers.
Key Benefits
- Completely open source under the MIT license, free to use in any project.
- Lovingly hand-crafted, premium designed icons for a polished visual identity.
- Supports standard icon formats across web, iOS, Android, and desktop apps.
- SVG support for scalable, resolution-independent vector icons.
- Published and maintained by the same team behind the Ionic Framework — an OutSystems company.
How It Works
You browse the icon library on the website and click an icon to copy or download it. If the icon you need is missing, you file an issue on GitHub to suggest a new one. The icons are then included in your project as SVG files or through a web font.
Use Cases
- Mobile app developers using Ionic Framework to add interface icons to their apps.
- Web developers building dashboards, landing pages, or internal tools with consistent iconography.
- UI/UX designers prototyping interfaces who need premium vector icons without licensing costs.
- Desktop app developers integrating standard icon sets into cross-platform Electron or similar applications.
- Open-source project maintainers looking for permissively licensed icon assets for their repositories.
- Design system teams standardizing on a single, MIT-licensed icon library across multiple products.
Why Choose This Product
Ionicons is best suited for developers and designers already working within the Ionic ecosystem or anyone who wants a premium, MIT-licensed icon set without paying licensing fees. It has no free-tier limitations because the entire pack is free, open source, and does not require an account.
