Unified icon library
Search across 83 curated open-source sets, covering 215,457 icons and including interface icons, logos, file types, flags, and emoji.
Open-source icon search and browsing
IconsDB is a web-based search and browsing directory for open-source icons, logos, file-type symbols, flags, and emoji. It brings 83 curated sets into one interface, with a published total of 215,457 icons, so users can look across collections such as Lucide, HeroIcons, Tabler Icons, Phosphor, Material Symbols, Simple Icons, and several emoji libraries.
The product is designed to shorten the path from an icon concept to a usable asset or code snippet. Users can search by intent, browse by name or category, inspect previews, filter by style or license, and copy results in SVG, React, Vue, or CSS formats. Separate library and license views make it possible to check the source, author, license, and attribution status of a set before using its artwork.
Key features
Semantic and concept-based discovery
The home page advertises instant semantic search, while the browse interface exposes concept shortcuts such as home, search, settings, user, heart, and download.
Library filtering
Narrow results by category, icon style, license, and icon set; the interface includes filters for icons, emoji, brands, outline, filled, duotone, light, and color.
Preview and browse controls
Inspect results in compact or large grid layouts, sort by relevance or name, and preview an icon with a currentColor setting and family variants.
Multiple copy formats
The product description lists SVG, React, Vue, and CSS as copy formats, supporting both direct asset use and code-oriented workflows.
License and attribution reference
Library and license pages show each set's author, license, full-license link, and whether attribution is required; the site excludes GPL, non-commercial, and paid sets from its collection.
Practical use cases
Product and web UI work
Search a concept, compare results from multiple families, and copy a selected icon in a front-end-friendly format while building a website or application interface.
Brand and content assets
Browse logos, technology marks, file types, flags, and emoji alongside general interface symbols when assembling brand-aware screens, documentation, or developer-facing pages.
Asset review and licensing
Filter collections by style or license and consult the author and attribution information before selecting artwork for a commercial project or redistributed asset bundle.
Coding-agent discovery
Use the advertised intent-based MCP workflow to help Claude Code, Cursor, or Codex locate icons during coding tasks; the available source does not specify setup details.
Visual style selection
Compare outline, filled, duotone, light, and color options in the preview grid when a design system needs a consistent visual treatment.
Pros and Cons
