Best Free SVG Icons for Commercial Use (No Attribution Required)

Updated 2026 · 5 min read

Every icon site claims to be "free." What actually matters for a commercial project is the license: can you use it in a paid product, do you need to credit anyone, and can the terms change after you've already shipped? These six libraries answer "no attribution needed" clearly in their own license pages, so you can build without a credits footer.

1. Heroicons

Made for Tailwind CSS, works anywhere

MIT licensed, so commercial use is explicitly covered with no credit required. Two weights (outline and solid), consistent 24px grid, available as SVG or React/Vue components.

2. Lucide

Community-maintained, actively updated

A fork of Feather Icons with a much larger, still-growing set. ISC licensed — free for commercial use, no attribution. Ships as SVG, React, Vue, and Svelte packages.

3. Phosphor Icons

Six weights per icon

MIT licensed. Useful when a design system needs thin, regular, bold, fill, and duotone variants of the same glyph without hunting for a matching set elsewhere.

4. Feather Icons

Small, simple, stroke-based

MIT licensed. Deliberately minimal — around 280 icons — which keeps a UI visually consistent instead of mixing styles from a giant 10,000-icon pack.

5. Iconoir

1,500+ icons, MIT licensed

Bigger than Feather or Heroicons while keeping one consistent stroke style. Good middle ground when you need broad coverage without switching to a paid set.

6. SVG Repo

Aggregator — check each icon's own tag

Hosts icons from multiple open-source sets in one search interface. Most are MIT or CC0, but because it's an aggregator, check the license shown on each individual icon page rather than assuming the whole site is uniform.
