Icon Search

Icon Search is a unified discovery engine that lets you search across more than 280,000 icons drawn from over 200 open-source icon packs in a single place. Instead of opening separate galleries for Lucide, Heroicons, Font Awesome, Material Symbols, Tabler, Bootstrap Icons, Phosphor, and dozens of other sets, you type a keyword once and see matching glyphs from every collection side by side. This makes it dramatically faster to find a consistent visual metaphor and compare how different packs render the same concept.

Under the hood the tool indexes each icon by its name, tags, and originating pack, then matches your query against that metadata. Because icon naming conventions differ between libraries, searching a plain English term like 'cart', 'settings', or 'arrow' surfaces variants across packs so you can pick the stroke weight, fill style, or grid size that fits your design system. Selecting an icon typically gives you its SVG markup ready to copy, which you can then refine with related tools.

Common use cases include sourcing UI affordances for web and mobile apps, building a cohesive icon set for a brand, finding placeholder glyphs for prototypes, and locating a specific symbol whose name you cannot remember. Designers and developers both benefit because the results are vendor-neutral and licensed under permissive open-source terms, so you avoid the lock-in and attribution headaches of proprietary icon services.

A practical tip is to standardize on one or two packs per project for visual consistency, using Icon Search mainly to fill gaps where your primary pack lacks a glyph. Once you copy the SVG, pipe it through the SVG Optimizer to strip metadata, the SVG to JSX Converter if you are building a React component, or the SVG Encoder when you need a data URI for CSS. Keeping stroke widths and viewBox dimensions aligned across the icons you select will make the final set feel like it was designed together.
