Good Resolution SVG Icons
5 replies · Started by Ian on November 6, 2021
Bootstrap icons is good quality when using their code inside GB's Headline block. Google Font has decent icons but when enlarged, their edges are not as clean. I think I saw a GP staff mention Bootstrap icon in the past. The Asset Library themes like "Health" have great looking icons. What trusted sources for SVG are available for the public to use to build client websites?
Hi there,
First thing to note - some icon library sites may require licensing or attribution so please be mindful when using them.
Some of the Icon libraries i have seen used are:
FontAwesome
Google Icons
Bootstrap
The noun project
Icon8
Feather Icons
Ant Design Icons
I can't say 100% for them as a trusted source.
But if you upload any SVG icon to:
https://jakearchibald.github.io/svgomg/
It will strip any irrelevant content from the icon, which should include any links that could potentially contain harmful code.
In addition to this the GB Icon HTML Field will also sanitize the SVG HTML, so again theres another layer of security.
Thanks for the into David. They are most helpful!
I should clarify, are those SVG libraries free to use for paid client builds?
Hi Ian,
Most of the sites have a filter you can use to look for free icons, most of them can be used commercially.
But it's better to read the license info from each website before use them in live site, just to be sure. :)
Thanks Ying! Most of these sites do say they are ok for commercial but wanted to make sure I am reading things correctly. Maybe I am too skeptical but it is obvious most of these less well known sites do not create these SVGs and may have scraped them from another source. Was really hoping to find a source that is trusted for commercial use, even if it is a paid one. Thank you!
You are welcome :)
