Iconify
Iconify lets you customize your Android 12+ device easily
Iconify is an open-source Android customization app that provides users with deep control over the look and feel of their Android device’s interface, enabling changes to icons, colors, shapes, and even elements of the notification panel on Android 12 and above. The application focuses on letting users personalize UI components without requiring extensive technical knowledge, offering a range of theming options that can radically alter the aesthetic of app icons and system visuals for a more tailored user experience. Although the repository was archived in mid-2025, it amassed a significant community of users and contributors interested in device theming and modular customization techniques. As an archived project, Iconify’s design and codebase remain available for developers who want to build on its ideas, port features to other customization frameworks, or fork the project for new directions. -

Bootstrap Icons
Open source SVG icon library for Bootstrap
Free, high-quality, open-source icon library with over 1,600 icons. Include them any way you like, SVGs, SVG sprite, or web fonts. Use them with or without Bootstrap in any project. Bootstrap Icons are published to npm, but they can also be manually downloaded if needed. Bootstrap Icons are SVGs, so you can include them into your HTML in a few ways depending on how your project is setup. We recommend using a width: 1em (and optionally height: 1em) for easy resizing via font-size. Embed your icons within the HTML of your page (as opposed to an external image file). Here we’ve used a custom width and height. Use the SVG sprite to insert any icon through the <use> element. Use the icon’s filename as the fragment identifier (e.g., toggles is #toggles). SVG sprites allow you to reference an external file similar to an <img> element, but with the power of currentColor for easy theming. -

Lucide
Beautiful & consistent icon toolkit made by the community
Community-run fork of Feather Icons, open for anyone to contribute icons. It began after growing disaffection with the Feather Icons project moderation. With over 300+ open issues and over 100+ open PRs, the Feather Icons project has been abandoned. This unfortunately means that hundreds of developers and designers wasted their time contributing to Feather Icons with no chance of PRs being accepted. Lucide is trying to expand the icon set as much as possible while staying faithful to the original simplistic design language. We do this as a community of devs and designers and hope that you'll join us. At its core, Lucide is a collection of SVG files. This means that you can use Lucide icons in all the same ways you can use SVGs (e.g. img, background-image, inline, object, embed, iframe). -

Papirus
Papirus icon theme for Linux
Papirus is a free and open source SVG icon theme for Linux, based on Paper Icon Set with a lot of new icons and a few extras, like Hardcode-Tray support, KDE colorscheme support, Folder Color support, and others. Some software uses an absolute path instead of the icon name in a .desktop file or in the source code which makes them unthemable. To deal with hardcoded application icons we recommend using hardcode-fixer. Papirus supports most of the applications in the list. If hardcode-fixer doesn't support your favorite app yet, please open an issue here or edit your .desktop file manually. To fix icons of running Steam games, you can use Steam Icons Fixer script, that will connect all icons available from our icon theme with your installed games. -

IconPark
Transform an SVG icon into multiple themes, and generate React icons
IconPark gives access to more than 2000 high-quality icons, and introduces an interface for customizing your icons. Instead of using various SVG source files to achieve different themes, We implement a technology that transforms the attributes of a single SVG source file into multiple themes. Besides, we provide cross-platform components, including react-icons, vue-icons and svg-icons. So whether you are a designer or a developer, you can use them in your designs or your projects for free. Basic coloring can be done by setting two attributes on the node: fill and stroke. Fill sets the color inside the object while stroke sets the color of the line drawn around the object. By changing these two attributes, you can transform a single SVG icon into different themes, including outline, filled, two-tone, and multi-color. -

SFSafe Symbols
Safely access Apple's SF Symbols using static typing
At WWDC 2019, Apple announced a new library of icons that came included with that year's new operating system versions. To browse them, there's a dedicated Mac app called SF Symbols. You can be sure your symbol code won't crash due to typos or symbol availability issues. This is because all symbols are tested via a CI (on the latest iOS & tvOS versions and also some earlier OS versions). Lookups in the SF Symbols app (e. g. about available layersets, available localizations & the look of the symbol) are no longer needed because every symbol is documented in code. Multiple SF Symbols versions are supported at the same time (via utilization of the @availability flag). Each symbol is only made available on those platform versions where Apple says it's available. Renamed symbols can be detected easily (via a deprecation notice which suggests the use of the new name at the same time). -

Guide to Open Source Icon Sets
Open source icon sets are collections of icons created by designers from all over the world that have been released to the public domain for anyone to use. They are often used in web and software design projects, but can be used for a myriad of other purposes. Typically, open source icons come in various formats - SVG, PNG, or AI - making them easy to edit or customize and adapt according to the user’s needs.
The primary benefit of using open source icon sets is that they are free to use without fear of copyright infringement. The creator may specify certain types of usage requirements, such as allowing modifications or requiring proper attribution when using them commercially, but generally speaking you won’t have to worry about getting into legal trouble when using these icons. Additionally, since many designers contribute work and resources to open source icon sets, there is usually a good selection of high-quality designs available.
Lastly, when using an open source icon set it’s important to follow the license guidelines set forth by its creators; for example if specified on their terms page some icon sets may require you give credit back to the designer who created it, not resell them as your own design work, or not use them within any offensive context. Following these guidelines allows us all to share freely and build upon one another's creations while still giving credit where credit is due.
What Features Do Open Source Icon Sets Provide?
- Vector Format: Open source icon sets often come in vector format, which means that the artwork is made up of points, lines and curves rather than pixels. This allows icons to be resized without any loss of quality, meaning they can be used for a variety of sizes without compromising their look.
- Scalability: Open source icons are usually designed with scalability in mind, meaning they look good at any size. This makes them great for responsive design and other applications where you need to fit the same icon into different contexts.
- Variety: Most open source icon sets provide a large selection of icons that cover many topics and subjects. This gives designers more options when choosing what type of icon to use for their project.
- Customizable: Many open source icon sets can be customized by changing colors and shapes, or even creating your own unique versions from the original artwork. This allows designers to tailor an icon set to their specific needs or tastes.
- Flexibility: Open source icons are often free to use however you want, which gives you plenty of flexibility when it comes to incorporating them into your designs or products. You don’t have to worry about copyright infringement as long as you follow any conditions imposed by the license agreement associated with the set.
What Are the Different Types of Open Source Icon Sets?
- Public Domain Icons: These are icons which are released under public domain licenses, meaning anyone is free to use, modify and share them for any purpose. They often include classic designs such as the copyright symbol and basic shapes like circles, squares, and arrows.
- Creative Commons Icons: These are icons which are released under Creative Commons licenses, meaning there is a set of rules that govern how they can be used. CC licenses come in various levels of attribution and some may require users to give something back in return for using the icon.
- Open Source Icons: Open source icons are those that have been created with open source software or released under an open source license. This means anyone is free to modify or redistribute them as long as the original author's credits remain intact.
- Free Icon Sets: Many developers release their own icon sets for free on their websites, blogs or repositories such as GitHub. While these sets may not be covered by a specific license or be considered “open source” they can still provide valuable resources for designers who need a quick fix or starting point for their work.
- Paid Icon Sets: Some developers offer paid icon sets which usually include more advanced features like layered PSDs, multiple sizes/formats and additional extras such as bonus illustrations and backgrounds.

- Flexible Licensing: Most open source sets use Creative Commons licensing which allows users to modify and redistribute the work while still giving due credit to the original creator. This encourages creativity and collaboration leading to even better results.

Getting Started With Open Source Icon Sets
Getting started with open source icon sets is easy and can be a great way to enhance your projects. First, you need to find an open source icon set that has the icons you need. There are many websites where you can start looking, including The Noun Project and Icons8. Once you have found a set of icons that meets your needs, the next step is downloading them. Most icon sets are provided in files such as .svg or .png, which can be downloaded from the respective website and saved on your computer for later use.
Once you have downloaded your desired icon set(s), you can begin using them in your projects. Depending on what type of project you are working on, there may be different ways of implementing these icons. If you’re working on a website, for example, then it’s best to look into the HTML/CSS code for your project so that the appropriate code for displaying the icons is included in the design. For desktop applications or other types of software development projects, you may want to take a look at how to incorporate vector images into coding languages such as Java or C# so that they are displayed correctly within your application.
No matter what type of project you’re working on though, it’s important to make sure that all copyright notices associated with the open source icon set(s) are included somewhere when publishing or distributing them (often this means keeping a “Credits” file close at hand). This helps ensure that proper attribution is given to whomever created those icons and shows respect for their hard work. With these simple steps followed, soon enough any user will be up and running with open source icon sets for their projects.
