Icons

So I prefer SVG sprites and some Icon sites allow downloading a selection of icons as a sprite which is the best way to go. (See the Creative Bloq guide)

1. IconFinder has a big somewhat random selection of icons. These are free without any issues. Download the SVG or copy the code to the clipboard. You’ll probably want to tidy up the code before using as there’s quite a bit of unnecessary code in them.
2. Iconmnstr can download or just grab the code. Copy and pasting is good for creating SVG sprites. Need to disable adblockers to use.
3. Fontastic.me excellent easy way to set up SVG sprites hosted on their CDN. See Cloud based icons.
4. IcoMoon has 5500 free SVG icons. Launch the app, pick some icons then download the code and CSS. Can be downloaded as sprites.
5. The Noun Project has a really great selection, though you need to sign up for an account first.
6. Font Awesome has a complicated set up but easier to add icons using HTML italic tags like this: <i class="fab fa-adn"></i>.
7. Heroicons has a nice set of non-corporate icons (no Twitter or Facebook for instance). One click on the icon to copy the SVG code makes it very easy to use.
8. Zondicons another set of icons you can download in one foul swoop.
9. Open Mojis open source emoji library.
10. Icon Icons has a very comprehensive provided by different authors in ICO, ICNS, PNG and SVG formats.
11. Fontello.com completely free, non commercial site to create custom icon font files inc. .woff2 and svg fonts.
12. Icons8 the free tier has limits on format, low res only and requires a link to back to them.
13. Flaticon can only download as PNG’s on the free tier.

Finally see Smashing Mag’s page on open source icons with a variety of subjects: weather, people, health, flags etc..
