Ant Design Icons vs Material 3 Design Kit

Ant Design Icons provides semantic vector graphics for interfaces, with 498 icons in outlined, filled, and two-tone styles. Icons render as SVG and accept styling properties such as size and color; two-tone icons can use one or two specified colors. The API also supports rotation, animation, and custom icon components. Packages are listed for Vanilla, React, React Native, Angular, and Vue. Developers can integrate their own SVGs through webpack with @svgr/webpack or Vite with vite-plugin-svgr, or use SVG sprite symbols generated by iconfont.cn projects. The React package can be installed with npm, yarn, pnpm, or Bun, and the documentation recommends matching @ant-design/icons 6.x with antd 6.x. SVG icons support offline use without a CDN-hosted font file. Importing the full set can add bundle size, so the documentation points to importing icons as needed. The project repository identifies its license as MIT; commercial use is allowed. It is free, with a free plan and no free trial. The project was founded in 2018 and is headquartered in Hangzhou, China.

Material 3 Design Kit is a free Figma resource for creating mockups and prototypes with Material 3 styles and components. It belongs to Material Design 3, Google’s open-source design system, which provides interface guidelines, components, and tools. M3 Expressive adds vibrant colors, intuitive motion, adaptive components, flexible typography, and contrasting shapes. Its shape library contains 35 shapes with built-in morph motion. Design tokens store values such as colors and fonts so they can be shared across designs, code, tools, and platforms. Material foundations include accessibility guidance for users with diverse abilities. Listed implementation libraries cover Android, Jetpack Compose, Flutter, and Web. Time pickers are available in the Figma kit, Flutter, Jetpack Compose, and Android Views, while Web implementation lists them as unavailable. The kit’s listed price is free.
