IconArchive
IconArchive is a tag-based search engine for finding and downloading icons. It lists more than 800,000 icons and supports browsing by category, popularity, recency, designer, and icon pack. Downloads are available in PNG and SVG, and the site says no login or subscription is needed. Listed uses range from web and app projects to print design, presentations, invitations, social media, and forum avatars. Desktop users can find icons for customizing Windows, Mac, and Linux systems. The commercial-free collection contains 600 packs whose icons may be used commercially without payment, although some packs require a backlink to the artist's website. The SVG section lists 116 packs, including Feather, Octicons, Ionicons, and Iconoir. People looking for custom icon design can search for professional artists offering design work and project help. The site uses Google Analytics and third-party advertising companies, with cookies for site functions, analytics, and advertising. Its terms state that the service is provided as available and make no warranty about security, reliability, timeliness, or performance.
