Lordicon is an animated icon library for designers and developers working across web, mobile, and content projects. It is best for people who need configurable motion and several ways to export or integrate icons; static open-source libraries are a better fit when animation and a large asset catalog are unnecessary.

Overview

Lordicon combines more than 47,900 free and premium icons, with over 9,700 free icons accessible without login. Color, stroke, size, speed, and animation settings are adjustable, which makes the library useful when a standard icon needs to match a project's visual style. Its main constraint is licensing: free use requires attribution, and both free and Standard PRO embedded HTML use have request caps.

Key features

Icons include Intro, Hover, Morph, and Loop animation states. Exports include Lottie JSON, GIF, MP4, WebP, APNG, PNG, SVG, Adobe After Effects, and MOGRT. This variety helps teams carry assets between design, motion, and publishing workflows, but matters less if a project only needs static SVGs.

Official integrations cover Web, React, Flutter, WordPress, Figma, and Google Docs and Slides. The free web custom-element player is distributed through the @lordicon/element NPM package, and its source code is published. The React guide describes compatibility with web and native environments, including iOS, Android, and Windows.

The API returns JSON containing download links and metadata for selected icons. Free icons have no API usage limits, while PRO icons are pay-per-download. Customers can host icons on their own servers, which offers an alternative to depending on CDN availability.

Pricing

The Free plan costs nothing, billed forever. It includes 9,700 free animated icons, one collection, unlimited exports, and a commercial license, but attribution is required. The free license also limits embedded HTML icon usage to 1 million CDN requests, so it is less suitable for high-traffic deployments without attribution.

PRO costs $8 a year (billed / month, billed annually) or $16 a month (billed / month, billed monthly). Both options include 38,100 PRO icons, 10 collections, up to five collection guests, no attribution, and the ability to keep icons forever. The annual option suits ongoing work where the commitment is acceptable; monthly billing costs more but avoids an annual billing commitment. Standard PRO still caps Embed HTML use at 1 million CDN requests per month and bars standalone redistribution or using icons as the core feature of another icon library or pack.

Team PRO costs $39 a year (billed / month, billed annually) or $59 a month (billed / month, billed monthly). It adds 100 collections, up to 50 team members, up to 250 collection guests, and dedicated support. Those collaboration and support allowances make it the relevant tier for larger teams; the individual PRO limits are more appropriate for solo users or small projects.

Platforms

Lordicon supports Android, iOS, web, Windows, and API access. Its integrations and native compatibility provide options for teams working across web and mobile, while the API supports selected-icon downloads and metadata retrieval.

Who it's for

Lordicon is a strong match for designers and developers who need animated assets, want to tune their appearance, or move icons among design tools and application frameworks. It is a weaker fit for projects that require unrestricted standalone redistribution, or for teams whose embedded HTML traffic exceeds the Standard PRO monthly cap.
