We Love SVG: Google Fonts for Icons

We Love SVG is a library of 9,769 free icons which works similar to Google Fonts. You get all open source icons and insert them into your code within a minute.

Icons Included

The library of We Love SVG consists of 9,769 icons from 30 open source icon packs. As well as choosing some great flat icon packs from the web, Icons8 team (the creator of WLS and one of the biggest icon packs) has opened part of its own collection, including the freshly-baked 200+ Windows 10 icons and 300+ Flat Color icons.

You may choose the icon pack in the header of the page, and use the search bar for finding the icon you need.

Technology Used in We Love SVG

Briefly, We Love SVG is based on Webicon – a technology that allows to insert icons from any icon library. It’s like inserting icons with an icon font, but newer, better and faster. Advantages of Webicon:

• Embedding in less than a minute
• No uploading, re-generating, or any other overhead

Also, instead of fonts, WLS uses SVG sets. They have many advantages compare to iconic webfonts, separate SVG or PNG sprites. If you are interested, just check out these articles on CSS Tricks or Icons8 blog. SVG sets were converted from SVG fonts with the help of svg-caster.

All icons are hosted on a free CDN.
