Licenses and attribution
Every icon on Icon Library is open source and can be used in personal and commercial projects. Each set keeps the license of its own authors. This page sums them up, so you know what to keep when you use them.
The license of each set
| Set | License | Copyright |
|---|---|---|
| Lucide | ISC | Lucide Icons and Contributors; parts come from Feather |
| Feather | MIT | Cole Bemis |
| Bootstrap Icons | MIT | The Bootstrap Authors |
| Emoji | MIT (data) | Mu-An Chiou, for the Unicode data (unicode-emoji-json). The drawings come from your device's emoji font. |
| Iconlibrary | MIT | The supporter who published each icon, credited next to it |
Using an icon in your project
You can use the icons in websites, apps, documents and products, commercial or not, and change them as you like, in the editor or elsewhere. ISC and MIT ask for one thing: where the icons themselves are copied or redistributed — inside a package, a library or a project's source code — keep the copyright notice and the license text. A LICENSE or THIRD-PARTY-NOTICES file that lists each set is the usual way. These licenses do not require a visible credit on the page, but one is always welcome.
Edited and combined icons
An icon changed in the editor keeps the license of the set it came from. If you put icons from two sets together, keep both notices.
Brand logos
Some sets include logos of companies and products — Bootstrap Icons, for example. The icon license covers the drawing, not the brand: using a trademark follows its owner's rules. That is also why Iconlibrary does not accept logos.
Emoji
Emoji are Unicode characters. Copying one copies the character, and each device draws it with its own font — from Apple, Google, Microsoft and others, each under its own terms. The SVG of an emoji only wraps the character, so it still depends on that font.
Icon Library itself
The site's code is open source under the MIT license, on GitHub.
