Flat Color Icons

About Flat Color Icons

Flat Color Icons is an open-source SVG icon set with 329 icons created by Icons8. Every icon is free to use under the MIT license — fine for personal projects, side projects, and most commercial work. Always check the upstream license for edge cases.

How to use Flat Color Icons icons

The fastest way is to embed an icon as an <img> from the Iconify CDN — no install, no build step, no JavaScript required.

Inline HTML

<img src="https://api.iconify.design/flat-color-icons/edit-image.svg" width="24" height="24" alt="edit-image icon" />

CSS background

.icon-edit-image {
  background: url('https://api.iconify.design/flat-color-icons/edit-image.svg') center / contain no-repeat;
  width: 24px;
  height: 24px;
}

React (with @iconify/react)

import { Icon } from '@iconify/react';

<Icon icon="flat-color-icons:edit-image" width="24" />

Recolouring Flat Color Icons icons

Flat Color Icons ships with baked-in colours, so the icons keep their original palette wherever you embed them. Treat them like brand assets — use them as-is and avoid overriding the fill.

Search engine–safe usage

Always include a meaningful alt attribute on <img> tags or an aria-label on inline SVGs. For purely decorative icons (where text already conveys the meaning), use alt="" so screen readers skip them.

License & attribution

Flat Color Icons is distributed under the MIT license. Most permissive licenses (MIT, Apache 2.0, CC0) don’t require attribution in shipped binaries, but it’s considered good practice to credit the icon set in your project’s docs or about page.
