Lucide
Beautiful and consistent icons
The Lens
By Erik Loyd, SaaS CEO and former COO/CFO of an AWS Premier Partner.
Updated Sep 2026
It's a fork of Feather Icons that kept going after Feather stopped updating. Drop-in packages for React, Vue, Svelte, Angular, and vanilla JS.
Fully free under ISC license. Every icon, every framework package, every future update, free. No premium tier, no pro icons behind a paywall. Tree-shakeable, so you only bundle the icons you actually use.
The catch: Lucide's style is minimal and outline-based. If you need filled icons, duotone variants, or a wider style range, Tabler Icons or Heroicons might be a better fit. And at 1,500+ icons, it's comprehensive but not exhaustive. Niche categories (finance, medical) have thinner coverage than Font Awesome's 30,000+ icons (though Font Awesome gates most behind their $99/year Pro tier).
Free vs Self-Hosted vs Paid
fully freeFully open source under ISC license. No paid tier, no premium icons.
Zero cost. Compare to:
- Font Awesome Pro: $99/year for the full 30K icon set
- Phosphor Icons: Free (similar quality and scope)
- Heroicons: Free but smaller set (~300 icons)
- Tabler Icons: Free, ~5,400 icons
Lucide wins on the combination of quality, consistency, framework support, and active maintenance. The star velocity (207/week) tells you the community is growing fast.
Free forever. No paid tier. 1,500+ icons with framework packages for everything.
What to do by team size
- Solo
- Just use it. Install the package for your framework and go.
- Small team
- Standard choice. Consistent style means your app looks cohesive without a designer.
- Medium team
- Great default. If you need more variety, supplement with Tabler Icons — they use a compatible style.
- Large team
- Works fine but larger teams often need custom icon sets. Lucide is a solid base to extend from.
