What is Noun Project?

Noun Project hosts millions of icons in consistent styles, plus photos, all searchable and editable in colour before you download. You can use icons free with credit to the creator, or pay for Noun Pro to use them without attribution and get unlimited PNG and SVG downloads and plugins.

Pros: what Noun Project does well

  • Enormous icon library
  • Free with attribution
  • Plugins for Figma and Office

Cons: where it falls short

  • Attribution needed on free use
  • Unlimited downloads need Noun Pro

Who Noun Project is for

Designers and presenters who need an icon for almost anything.

Who can skip it
