Please note that this is our list of the best paid icon sets. We have also written a separate list for the best free icon sets for UI design.
A good quality icon set is an invaluable asset in UI design and user experience, but choosing one isn't always easy! There are hundreds of icon libraries on the market today, with new icon sets launching every week. High quality is rare, though, which is why this list stays short. We've been researching icons for two years now and created this list of the best icon sets on the market today so you don't have to! We only include sets with genuinely high-quality icons, not just large libraries padded with filler.
It's important to note that many incredible icon libraries for UI design are 100% free and open source — a well-maintained open source icon library can absolutely hold its own against a paid set. That doesn't mean you should necessarily use a free icon library. Not all icon sets are created equal, especially if you're looking for icons designed specifically for UI design. Investing a little bit of money in a premium icon library can make a huge difference.
When we were building Untitled UI Figma v1.0 back in 2021, we meticulously combed through dozens of open source, free, and paid icon sets looking for the perfect fit. We even spoke to some icon designers and web designers about creating a custom icon set, comparing icon packs across pricing, file formats, and licensing terms along the way. Many free icon sets were incredibly high-quality, but the vast majority fell short in terms of quality, consistency, or scale – often a combination of all three.
That being said, before investing in a premium icon library, we recommend checking out a few different icon sets from our list of the best free icon sets for UI design. These are 100% free for commercial use and will help give you an idea of what works and doesn't work in your design project before spending any money. Many premium icon libraries in this list also provide a free set of high-quality icons that are free to download and trial in your user interface, so you can test a vendor's icon packs before committing.
It's best to pick an icon set from the start
Choosing an icon library for your design project or specific purposes upfront can be a huge investment of time. But what a lot of UI designers and web designers don't realize is how much more work is involved switching to another icon library later on!
Investing a little time upfront to choose a good icon set means you won't be picking and choosing icons from different icon sets as you go. This paradox of choice becomes a nightmare because as your icon set grows, you invariably introduce different design styles from different icon libraries. This leads to messy and inconsistent UI design, even to the untrained eye.
This also builds design debt. Eventually, you or other UI designers will need to address this and manually switch everything to a more premium and consistent icon library. Nothing stands out more in modern UI design than inconsistent icons and even a free set is a better option than multiple paid icon libraries! Sticking with one vendor's consistent icon packs from day one avoids this problem entirely.
How to choose an icon set for your project
As we've covered, choosing a high-quality icon set from the start will save you a lot of time and resources later on. There are a wide range of different icon libraries on the market, and most are designed for specific purposes.
Some icon sets are better suited for web design and some are specifically crafted for UI design and web applications — whether that's app icons for a mobile product or dashboard icons for a web app, the underlying user experience goals are the same. If you're new to icon design, it's easy to feel overwhelmed. Here are a few key things that we recommend you look out for when choosing an icon set:
- The icon set should be large enough: You probably don't need an icon library with 10,000+ icons and 6 different styles for your project, but 100 icons isn't going to be enough. 250+ is a good starting point for a UI design or web design icon library.
- The icon set should be consistent: High-quality icon sets ship visually consistent icons that are optically balanced. This means they "look good" and are consistent in weight, corner radius, and size. Inconsistent and unbalanced icons are very easy to spot, especially in UI design and web applications because icons are placed in close proximity to each other.
- The icon set should suit your brand: Icon libraries come in a wide range of different design styles that change how they "feel". Round and playful icon libraries probably won't suit a more serious B2B web application. Often, premium and paid icon libraries are designed for specific purposes and have distinctive styles—some will work well for your project and brand and others won't. The same logic applies to your color palette and any Figma UI kit you're using: icons, color, and components should all feel like they belong to the same product.
Before investing any money in a paid icon library, check out some free icon libraries to trial a few different styles from free icon sets. This will help you get an idea for what looks and feels right for your user interface or design project. You might even find one that is perfect and they're 100% free for commercial use! If in doubt, choosing a neutral icon library is usually a safe bet.
We've written more on what makes a good icon library and a more detailed guide on how to choose an icon set here.
How we chose these premium icon sets
Every icon set on this list has been downloaded and used first-hand, not judged from a landing page screenshot. Nobody pays for a spot here, and sets get removed if they stop being maintained or the pricing changes.
Four things decide whether an icon set makes the cut: whether it's large enough to actually cover a real project (250+ icons, not a teaser pack); whether the icons are visually consistent — same stroke weight, corner radius, and grid, so nothing looks bolted on when placed side by side; whether it's actively maintained, with updates in roughly the last year; and whether the license is clear about commercial use, client work, and how many projects you can use it in.
Prices and icon counts are checked against each vendor's own site every time we update this post. Untitled UI Icons is our own icon set, which is why it's first — read that entry with the appropriate skepticism and go trial the free version yourself.
Now, onto the list! No one wants to sift through an exhaustive list of 50+ icon sets, so we've deliberately kept this list of the best icons short. We've included only what we believe are the absolute best premium icon libraries.
The 13 best premium icon sets at a glance
Here's every premium icon library on the list side by side, in the same order as the full reviews below. If you already know what matters most to your project, this is the fastest way to compare. If you don't, the reviews underneath cover what each one is actually like to use.
Okay, let's get into it — here's the full list of the best premium icon sets:
1. Untitled UI Icons
untitledui.com/icons — From $59 (use ICONS15 for 15% off)
4,600+ icons across 4 styles • 24x24px bounding box • 2px stroke
Untitled UI Icons are a clean, consistent, and neutral icon library crafted specifically for modern UI design. Made for Figma, in Figma.
This premium icon library includes a whopping 4,600+ essential icons for modern UI design, neatly organized alphabetically into 19 intuitive categories and 4 styles.
Untitled UI Icons launched in early June 2022. It was voted Product Hunt #1 Product of the Week and was downloaded 20,000+ times in the first 2 weeks. It's now the #1 highest-rated icon set on Gumroad and was retweeted 1,250x on Twitter.
Since then, the 100% free icon library on Figma Community has been downloaded over 350,000 times, making it one of the most popular icon libraries of all time.
Untitled UI Icons are also available as a React component package on npm, so the same icon set used in your Figma files can be dropped straight into code. It's widely regarded as one of the highest-quality and most popular icon libraries available today.
Learn more about Untitled UI Icons or download the free icon set here! You can use this huge library in as many projects as you like.
What makes Untitled UI Icons different?
This icon library was crafted specifically for Untitled UI Figma, the largest and most popular Figma UI kit and design system in the world and the #1 design and tech product on Gumroad.
We searched everywhere for the "ultimate" icon set for modern UI design to use across all our projects... We couldn't find a free icon set we loved so we made one that ticked all the right boxes.
- Made for Figma, in Figma. 100% compatible with Figma's component properties and override features. Say goodbye to Illustrator.
- Crafted specifically for modern UI design. Clean, consistent, and professionally crafted. Purposefully not overly stylized and neutral enough for any project.
- 4x flexible styles. Choose between minimal line, modern duocolor or duotone, or solid icons. Switch styles and maintain icon overrides in Figma like magic.
- 4,600+ and counting. Packed full with everything you need to design modern and beautiful UI and websites. No more custom icons.
- Neatly organized + IconJar. The entire library is neatly organized alphabetically across 19 categories. We've also included an IconJar library with super-smart tags for quick search, so you spend less time hunting for the right icon and less time building custom icons from scratch.
- Smooth corners by default. Untitled UI Icons use beautiful, naturally continuous 60% variable curves on all corners. We stress these tiny details because once you see it, you can't unsee it.
- 2px stroke weight default. 2px stroke weight by default for visually-balanced icons across sizes. Plus, master icons with live corners are included, so you can tweak corners for your own custom libraries.
- Optimized SVG output. No unnecessary layers or shapes. SVG outputs are optimized for minimal file size, no unnecessary attributes, and infinite scalability.
- Use in unlimited projects. In fact, we designed it this way—to be as neutral, flexible, and scalable as possible to use as a single "ultimate" library for any project.
- Lifetime updates. No subscriptions or "upgrades". Pay once and get lifetime updates forever. We're always making improvements to Untitled UI products.
Don't forget to check out the 100% free version of Untitled UI Icons, which includes a whopping 1,100+ essential icons — genuinely open source icons under an MIT license, not a stripped-down teaser.
2. Pikaicons
pikaicons.com — From $99
5,000+ icons across 5 styles • 24x24px bounding box • 2px stroke
Pikaicons are a relatively new icon library designed by Ashish Kashyap. They're beautifully made, stylish, and crafted specifically to be compatible with Figma's variant properties features.
One thing we love about Pikaicons is they're slightly rounded, giving them a friendly feel and separating them from other icon libraries. With 60% continuous corner smoothing, they just look "right" and are perfect for modern and fun user interfaces.
Pikaicons are one of our favorite icon sets because they're not only beautifully crafted, but they're constantly being updated and are very community-focused on social media. You can follow Pika updates on X (Twitter) via @ash_uxi and @Pikaicon.
Pikaicons have also recently released Pikaicons V2.0 FREE, 537 icons available for free download via Figma Community.
3. Iconic Icons
iconic.app — From $99/year
1,507+ icons across 1 style • 24x24px bounding box • 1.5px stroke
Iconic Icons are an ever-growing icon library designed by James McDonald & Orman Clark. In their own words, Iconic Icons are "Free, “do wtf you want with” pixel-perfect icons."
The icon library includes 200 free line icons — genuinely open source icons, well-crafted and useful. You can upgrade to the Pro version, Iconic Pro, to access 1,307 more line icons for $99 per year (solo license) or $249 per year (team license), neatly organized into 42 categories.
You can copy and download SVGs directly from the website. Iconic Pro includes multiple file formats — SVG source files, PNG format — plus a Figma library (.fig), and React and Vue packages.
4. Hugeicons Pro
hugeicons.com — From $99/year
60,000+ icons across 10 styles • 24x24px bounding box • 1.5px stroke
Hugeicons Pro is an icon library designed by Masum Parvej that is quickly growing in popularity. This icon library comes with an impressively large 60,000+ icons across 10 styles.
We like Hugeicons Pro because they are well-made, neatly-organized into 57 categories, and now span an impressive 10 styles, including stroke, two-tone, solid, bulk, duotone, sharp and rounded icons. The stroke icons in particular are perfect for modern UI design and web design.
The team behind this icon library have also developed a popular Figma plugin, allowing you to search and customize icons to import into Figma. It slots into the design software you already use. After purchasing Hugeicons Pro, you also get access to the Figma library (.fig), SVG icons in organized folders, and even an IconJar library and React npm.
5. Anron Icons
anron.pro — From $56
5,000+ icons across 6 styles • 24x24px bounding box • 1.5px stroke
Anron Icons are a beautiful and friendly icon library designed by Anton Lapko. The library consists of 5,000+ smooth and consistent icons across 6 styles.
We love Anron Icons because they're slightly more rounded than other icon libraries, which affords them a fun and playful feel. They're also very well-crafted and feature corner smoothing and "live" corners for complete control over corner radius, making it easy to fine-tune custom icons for edge cases.
Similar to Central Icons (below), Anron Icons are set up as Figma Variants rather than standalone icon components, kind of like a styles group. There are various pros and cons against this approach and Anron Icons offer a free demo file that shows how this works so you can explore.
6. Iconly Icons
iconly.pro — From $189 or $8/mo
40,000+ icons across 6 styles • 24x24px bounding box • 1.5px stroke
Iconly is another highly recommended icon library from the team behind Piqo Studio. Iconly differs from most icon libraries on this list because they distribute their icon set via a sleek native design app for MacOS and Windows, as well as a popular Figma plugin. It's a solid pick if UI UX design is your day-to-day and you want a dedicated app rather than living entirely inside Figma.
If you haven't used an icon app (like IconJar) or Figma plugin before, they're designed to allow you to search icons and customize them before exporting them for your Figma file or design project.
The Iconly icon library is exceptionally well-structured and high quality, with icons organized into 64+ different categories. Each icon comes in 6 different styles (bold, bulk, light border, light outline, broken, two tone), as well as 3 variants of these styles that adjust border radius (regular, sharp and curved).
You can try out the desktop apps and Figma plugin for free to see how it fits into your design process and workflow.
7. Nucleo Icons
nucleoapp.com — From $69
40,000+ icons across 8 styles • 18x18px bounding box • 1.5px stroke
Nucleo Icons is another relatively new launch that we're loving so far. They're a growing collection of over 40,000+ pixel-perfect icons, expertly designed for user interface design.
Nucleo Icons has grown well beyond its original 2-style launch and now spans 8 styles — including Core, UI, Sharp, Pixel, Micro Bold, Glass, Credit Card, and Isometric — for 40,000+ icons in total. One interesting feature to note about Nucleo Icons is that they're designed on a 18x18px bounding box (grid) which we haven't seen before in an icon library. They've also hinted at a 12x12px version of the library, which is perfect for smaller user interface design, like status bar or app icons that need to stay legible at tiny sizes. Icon libraries with small sizes for dense UI design are hard to come by, which matters a lot for a polished user experience in data-dense products.
After purchasing, you can download all Nucleo Icons as SVGs to use in design projects, but we couldn't find any mention of a Figma library (.fig). Nucleo also offer a beautiful MacOS and Windows app to search, organize, customize, and export icons as SVG symbols, icon fonts (similar to Font Awesome), JSX/Vue code, and more — covering pretty much every file format you'd need. Just like the Nucleo Icons website, it's incredibly nice to use and is a testament to the craft and attention to detail that has gone into Nucleo Icons.
8. Bunch of Icons
bunch-of-design.webflow.io — $49
630 icons across 1 style • 24x24px bounding box • 1.5px stroke
Bunch of Icons are a crisp and high-quality icon library designed by Hüseyin Gayiran and Hakkı Can Kütük. Unlike the softer, more rounded solid icons common elsewhere on this list, this library is unique in that it has distinctly sharp corners. This is a stylistic choice that sets this library apart with a crisp and modern look.
Directly copy as SVG or download across multiple file formats — transparent WEBP, JPG/PNG, PDF — plus animated icons via the Lottie vector format. The paid icon library also includes a Figma library (.fig).
9. Myicons
myicons.co — From $135
15,000+ icons across 1 style • 24x24px bounding box • 1.5px stroke
Myicons are a large collection of 15,000+ high-quality line icons that are great for modern UI and web design. They're neatly organized across 83+ categories.
Myicons have been around since 2018, which is pretty long in the world of icon design. They claim to be "The World's Largest Icons Pack" and "Gumroad #1 Design and Icons", but neither of those claims is true anymore.
Regardless, Myicons is an impressive library and covers every icon you could possibly need for user interface design — a safe pick if you just need a huge bank of high-quality icons in one consistent style.
10. Majesticons
majesticons.com — From €129
11,000+ icons across 3 styles • 24x24px bounding box • 2px stroke
Majesticons is a clean and professional icon library designed by Gerrit Halfmann. Their free icon set is also featured on our list of the best free icon sets for UI design because it's incredibly useful in its own right, with 1,520 free MIT License icons in two styles—line and solid.
Majesticons also offers a much larger paid version, now expanded to 11,000+ vector icons across 3 styles — line, duotone, and solid. It's perfect for UI UX design, is professionally made, and includes everything you could need for modern user interface or web design.
11. Magicoon
magicoon.com — From $38
5,400+ icons across 4 styles • 24x24px bounding box • outlined stroke
Magicoons is an icon library designed by Seyfeddine Beroual. They're a friendly and modern icon library with 5,400+ Icons across 4 styles (light, regular, filled, and duotone), neatly-organized into 29 categories.
Magicoons offer a Figma library (.fig) and SVGs across multiple file formats, as well as support for Adobe XD, Adobe Illustrator, EPS, and also an IconJar library and PNG format. One thing to note regarding Magicoon is that the icons have been converted to an outline stroke, which means they're not customizable in Figma or with CSS when using them in projects. We'd love to see Magicoons offer support for this in the future.
12. Central Icons
iconists.co/central — From $59
4,000+ icons across 2 styles (60,000+ variants) • 24x24px bounding box • 2px stroke
Central Icons are a growing icon library by the Iconists duo, Martin David and Andreas Storm. Martin and Andreas are well-known in the icon design community and their experience shines in Central Icons—they're simple, well-crafted, and versatile.
Central Icons take a slightly different approach with styling to other icon sets on this list, but the goal is the same: visually consistent icons no matter which variant you pick. The core of this icon library now consists of 4,000+ icons across 2 styles (2,000+ line icons and 2,000+ solid icons) — up substantially since this list was first published. These icons are set up as variants in Figma, so you can quickly switch between the following variant properties:
- Style: Line, Filled
- Stroke: 2px, 1.5px, 1px
- Radius: 0px, 1px, 2px, 3px
- Join: Square, Round
The result is 30x different possible variants (or combinations) for each icon. The reason Central Icons are set up this way is to let you adjust these icons to fit your brand and style: stroke width, border radius, line or filled version using Figma's component properties instead of styling the main components. It's built for teams that want to fine-tune custom icons rather than accept one fixed style.
13. Coolicons Pro
coolicons.cool — $24 one-time payment
1,320+ icons across 3 styles • 24x24px bounding box • 2px stroke
Coolicons Pro is a budget-friendly icon library by independent designer Kryston Schwarze, built natively for Figma with full support for component overrides.
The PRO version unlocks Duotone and Duocolor styles on top of the base Line set, all organized as Figma variants so you can swap styles without rebuilding your layout, plus editable master icons for customizing stroke weight and corner radius, and support for every major file format designers actually use.
Coolicons also has a genuinely usable free tier — 430+ open source icons available on GitHub or as a Figma Community file — which has passed 200,000+ downloads — making the $24 PRO upgrade an easy low-risk decision once you know the style works for your project.
Icon licensing: what to check before you buy
Before you commit to a premium icon set (or add a free one to a commercial product), it's worth spending five minutes checking the license — this is the single most common mistake we see designers make with icon sets:
- Commercial use terms. Most paid icon sets on this list are licensed for unlimited personal and commercial projects once purchased — print projects like packaging and marketing collateral included, not just digital screens — but always check whether the license is per-seat, per-project, or per-organization before rolling it out across a team. A license covering unlimited projects is worth paying extra for if you work across multiple products.
- Client work and resale. Some licenses restrict using purchased icons in work you resell or hand off to clients (common with marketplace-style licenses). If you're an agency or freelancer, confirm this explicitly — it's usually stated on the pricing page or in a linked EULA.
- Attribution requirements. A handful of "free" icon sets (some Creative Commons-licensed libraries, for example) require a visible credit link. That's not a dealbreaker, but it's very different from an MIT-licensed set like Untitled UI Icons, which needs no attribution at all — a genuine open source icon library, MIT or Apache-licensed, is usually the safest starting point if licensing is a concern.
- Updates and lifetime access. Check whether you're paying once for lifetime updates (like Untitled UI Icons and most sets above) or committing to a recurring subscription (like Iconic Pro) — this materially changes the total cost over a few years. If budget is tight, pairing a well-maintained open source icon library with paid extras where you need them is a reasonable middle ground.
If you're serious about UI UX design at scale and building out a full design system rather than a one-off project, it's worth pairing your icon set with a matching Figma UI kit or component library so icon sizing, stroke weight, and spacing stay consistent with the rest of your interface — see our list of the best React UI component libraries if you're shipping in code.
Popular Figma UI kits to pair with your icon set
A consistent icon set only looks right sitting inside a UI kit with matching spacing, corner radius and stroke weight. Here's how a few of the most popular Figma UI kits stack up:
See the full comparison of the best Figma UI kits for more options.
Popular React component libraries to pair with your icon set
If you're shipping in code rather than Figma, the same consistency logic applies — pick a component library whose icon sizing and design tokens match:
See the full comparison of the best React component libraries for more options.
Watch out for subscription-based icon libraries
Before you commit to a premium icon set, check the pricing model. A one-time purchase means the icons are yours — forever, no strings attached. A subscription means you're renting them: stop paying and you lose access to icons already shipped in your product, potentially breaking your UI down the line.
Some icon creators count on this detail slipping past you at checkout. In our opinion, simple digital assets like icon sets that you've paid for should be yours to keep. Always check the license terms before you buy, and be wary of any icon set that only works as long as your card keeps getting charged.
The same logic applies to fonts: there are plenty of high-quality free typefaces that suit almost any modern UI project without licensing headaches. We cover this in our post on the best free fonts for modern UI design.
Looking for free icon sets?
Many of the paid icon sets on the market today offer a free icon pack. However, it can be frustrating to find that these free icon sets are more like a "demo" file and usually lack key essential icons that you will need down the track. Often, these free icon packs are not free for commercial use — always check before you build a client project on top of one.
While this list covers the best paid icon libraries, it's worth checking out our separate list of the best free icon sets for UI design. You may be surprised to find that some of the most high-quality icon libraries are actually 100% free, including a genuinely solid open source icon library or two, not just stripped-down teasers! Even something as niche as hand-drawn doodle icons has a free option worth a look. Here's a sneak preview:
- Untitled UI Icons — 1,100+ free icons
- Solar Icons — 7,600+ free icons across 6 styles
- Tabler Icons — 6,100+ free icons
- Phosphor Icons — 7,488 free icons across 6 styles
- Lucide Icons — 1,790+ free icons

- Doodle Icons — 400+ free icons
These free icon packs are a great way to test the waters before you buy. Learn more about these free icon libraries, as well as Material Icons, The Noun Project, Bootstrap Icons, and Font Awesome Icons in our list of the best free icon sets for UI design.
In summary: which premium icon set should you choose?
If you only take one thing from this list: pick a consistent, well-licensed icon set before your project grows, not after. High quality and consistency matter far more than raw icon count, and both compound into a better overall user experience. For most modern products, Untitled UI Icons is the safest all-round choice — it's Figma-native, comes in 4 styles, and includes a genuinely useful free tier so you can trial it first, along with React + npm support. If you need a more distinctive, rounded feel, Pikaicons or Anron Icons are worth a look — both offer a free trial before you commit to the Pro version.
Whichever set you choose — a paid library or a solid open source icon library — pair it with a matching Figma UI kit and keep an eye on licensing before you ship — the fastest way to build design debt is switching icon sets midway through a project.
Missing an icon set?
It feels like every second day a new icon library launches, but the truth is they're not always great quality. We've reviewed hundreds of these icon sets and try to include only the absolute best quality icon libraries.
