What Is an Icon Browser?

An icon browser lets you search, preview, and copy SVG icons from popular open-source icon libraries. Instead of downloading icon packs, hunting through folders, or writing SVG code by hand, you can find the icon you need, preview it at multiple sizes, and copy the SVG code — ready to paste directly into your HTML, React components, or design tools.

Why Use SVG Icons?

SVG icons are resolution-independent — they look crisp on any screen, from phones to 5K monitors. They're lightweight (often under 1KB each), styleable with CSS (change color, size, and stroke width), and accessible (screen readers can interpret them with proper ARIA labels). Compared to icon fonts, inline SVGs load faster and don't cause invisible-text flashes.

How to Use This Tool

  1. Search for an icon — Type a keyword like 'settings', 'user', 'arrow', or 'check' to filter the icon library.
  2. Preview at different sizes — View icons at small, medium, and large sizes to see how they'll look in your interface.
  3. Copy the SVG code — Click an icon to copy its SVG markup to your clipboard. The code is clean and ready to use.
  4. Paste into your project — Paste the SVG into your HTML, JSX, Vue template, or any design tool that accepts SVG input.

Tips and Best Practices

Frequently Asked Questions

What icon libraries are included?+
The browser includes popular open-source libraries like Lucide, Feather, and Heroicons. All icons are free for commercial and personal use under their respective open-source licenses.
Can I use these icons commercially?+
Yes — all included icon sets are released under permissive open-source licenses (MIT or similar). You can use them in commercial projects, client work, and SaaS products without attribution requirements.
What's the difference between SVG and icon fonts?+
SVG icons are individual vector graphics. Icon fonts bundle all icons into a single font file. SVGs are more flexible (individually styleable, tree-shakeable) and accessible. Icon fonts are simpler to set up but heavier and less accessible.
Can I customize the icon color and size?+
Yes — SVG icons inherit CSS styles. Set the width, height, fill, and stroke properties to match your design. This tool copies clean SVG code that's ready for customization.
How do I use SVG icons in React?+
Paste the SVG directly into your JSX. Replace 'class' with 'className' and ensure self-closing tags. Libraries like Lucide React also provide ready-made React components for each icon.
Are these icons accessible?+
The SVG code is accessible when used correctly. Add role='img' and an aria-label for meaningful icons, or aria-hidden='true' for decorative ones. The copied SVG includes the basic structure — add ARIA attributes as needed.
