Lordicon

Lordicon is an animated icon library for design and development across web, mobile, and content projects. It suits people who need motion controls and several export formats; the free tier makes it possible to browse and use a substantial part of the collection before paying.

Overview

The library brings together more than 47,900 free and premium icons, with over 9,700 free icons accessible without login. Users can adjust color, stroke, size, speed, and animation settings, giving Lordicon more range than a static icon collection. Its licensing terms matter as much as its breadth: free use requires attribution and has a request cap for embedded HTML, while Standard PRO still restricts redistribution.

Key features

Icons support Intro, Hover, Morph, and Loop animation states. Exports include Lottie JSON, GIF, MP4, WebP, APNG, PNG, SVG, Adobe After Effects, and MOGRT. That range can serve design, motion, and publishing workflows, though it is most useful when those formats fit the tools a project already uses.

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 integration 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; PRO icons are charged per download. Customers can host icons on their own servers to reduce dependence on CDN uptime, a useful option for projects that need more control over delivery.

Pricing

The Free plan costs nothing, billed forever. It includes 9,700 free animated icons, one collection, unlimited exports, and a commercial license, but requires attribution. Embedded HTML use is limited to 1 million CDN requests, so it suits smaller projects and evaluation, while attribution and the request cap may rule it out for higher-traffic deployments.

PRO costs $8 a year (billed / month, billed annually) or $16 a month (billed / month, billed monthly). Both plans include 38,100 PRO icons, 10 collections, up to five collection guests, no attribution, and the ability to keep icons forever. The annual rate is the lower monthly cost for ongoing use; monthly billing offers more flexibility at twice the stated monthly rate. Standard PRO allows up to 1 million CDN requests per month for Embed HTML, and does not permit standalone file redistribution or using icons as the core feature of an icon library or pack. That makes it a poor fit for products that repackage icons as their own downloadable library.

Team PRO costs $39 a year (billed / month, billed annually) or $59 a month (billed / month, billed monthly). It provides 100 collections, up to 50 team members, up to 250 collection guests, and dedicated support. The larger collaboration limits make it the relevant tier for teams managing shared collections; the listed plan details do not state a PRO icon count or attribution terms for Team PRO.

Platforms

Lordicon supports Android, iOS, web, Windows, and API access. Its integration guidance and native compatibility make it relevant to teams working across those environments, while the broad export set also serves content workflows.

Who it's for

Lordicon is a strong fit for designers and developers who need animated icons that can move between design tools and web or native projects, especially when adjustable motion and multiple output formats matter. Free access is useful for trying the library or building within its attribution and request limits. Buyers who need to redistribute icons as files, build an icon pack, or avoid a CDN request ceiling should look elsewhere.

Pros and cons

• Pros: More than 9,700 icons are free without login, and free exports are unlimited.
• Pros: Animation controls, multiple export formats, and integrations span design and development workflows.
• Pros: Team PRO supports up to 50 members and 250 collection guests, with dedicated support.
• Cons: The Free plan requires attribution and caps embedded HTML at 1 million CDN requests.
• Cons: Standard PRO also has a 1 million monthly Embed HTML request limit and bars standalone redistribution and icon-library or pack use.
• Cons: PRO costs twice as much per month with monthly billing as with annual billing.

Alternatives

Icon Libraries is a useful place to compare more options. Choose Font Awesome if its free plan of 2,163 icons, one kit, and 10,000 pageviews better matches a project’s needs. Ionicons suits readers seeking a completely open-source, MIT-licensed option. Ant Design Icons is a free MIT-licensed choice with npm packages for Vanilla, React, React Native, Angular, and Vue. IconArchive is worth considering for a free collection of 800,000+ icons with no login or subscription. The Noun Project offers PNG and SVG downloads on its free account, with attribution required and commercial licenses excluded. Eva Icons provides a free MIT-licensed set of 480+ icons. Hugeicons offers a free set of 6,000+ Stroke Rounded icons, a web app, developer formats, and design and development plugins. IcoMoon suits users who want a free icon library with projects stored locally, provided they can manage without account saving and accept generated links that expire after 24 hours.

Verdict

Choose Lordicon if animated icons, flexible exports, and integrations are central to your design or development work. Its sizable free collection and adjustable animation make it easy to start, while PRO removes attribution and adds more collections. Look elsewhere if your project needs to redistribute icon files or form a library or pack around them, or if the embedded HTML request limit is too low.
