What it does
It ships one set of outline icons drawn on a 24 by 24 grid with a consistent 1.5 line weight, which is what makes a mixed set of them look deliberate rather than collected. The website publishes 1,671 of them, grouped by subject, with search. The same set is distributed nine ways: plain SVG files, an icon font, a stylesheet, and ready-made components for React, React Native, Vue, Flutter, Framer and Figma. The stylesheet route needs nothing installed at all beyond a link in the page. It is icons and only icons: there is no component library, no interface kit and no illustrations. There is no official package for Angular or Svelte, and the Swift version lives in a separate repository rather than this one.
Why it matters
Who it suits. Anyone building an interface who needs a consistent set and does not want to pay per seat or attribute anyone. It suits a project spanning a web page and a mobile application especially well, because the same drawings are available on both sides. Skip it if the project needs six thousand icons rather than sixteen hundred, and skip it if Angular or Svelte components are required, because neither exists.
Verdict. Two minutes, and plain MIT — which in an icon set is the whole point, because this is the category where licences most often require attribution or forbid commercial use. Version 7.12.1 was published on 12 August 2026 and code was pushed on 18 October, so it is maintained. Two things to be aware of. The per-framework packages are released together but installed separately, so a project using three of them has three dependencies to keep in step, and the quick stylesheet route shown in the documentation points at the project's main branch rather than a fixed version, which means it can change without warning — pin a version for anything that matters. The other is that this is volunteer work funded by donations, which is worth knowing when planning to depend on it for years. If the set is too small, tabler/tabler-icons is also MIT and ships 6,184 icons; if the drawing style here is appealing, lucide-icons/lucide from Edition 12 is the closely related alternative with a larger community.
- Plain MIT, so no attribution and no commercial restriction, which is rare in this category.
- Nine packagings of one set, so a web page and a mobile application can share the drawings.
- Drawn to one grid and one line weight, so a mixed selection still looks consistent.
- No Angular or Svelte package, and the Swift version is a different repository.
- Framework packages install separately, so several have to be kept in step by hand.
- Donation-funded volunteer maintenance, and the stylesheet route in the documentation pins no version.
tabler/tabler-iconsMIT, 21.6k stars; the same job with a far larger set, 6,184 icons in outline and filled versions, and sprite and webfont builds as well as framework components.
