Lordicon

Lordicon is an animated icon library for web, mobile, and content projects, with a large catalog and controls for tailoring motion and appearance. It is best suited to designers and developers who need animated assets across several tools and formats. Its strongest case is range; its licensing limits matter if you embed icons at high traffic or need to redistribute them.

Overview

The library combines more than 47,900 free and premium icons, including over 9,700 free icons that require no login. That gives individuals a substantial way to explore the catalog before paying. Color, stroke, size, speed, and animation settings are adjustable, making Lordicon more adaptable than a fixed set of static graphics.

Licensing shapes where that flexibility works. Free use requires attribution and caps embedded HTML icons at 1 million CDN requests. Standard PRO removes attribution but retains a 1 million monthly CDN request limit for Embed HTML use. It also bars standalone redistribution and using the icons as the core of another icon library or pack. Those terms suit ordinary product and content work better than asset marketplaces or products built around repackaging icons.

Key features

Icons support Intro, Hover, Morph, and Loop animation states, with controls for speed and other animation settings. Export formats include Lottie JSON, GIF, MP4, WebP, APNG, PNG, SVG, Adobe After Effects, and MOGRT. That breadth helps when a project moves between design, motion, and publishing tools; it is less valuable if a workflow only needs a single static format.

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 Lordicon publishes its source code. Its 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, while PRO icons are pay-per-download. Customers can host icons on their own servers to reduce exposure to CDN downtime, which gives production teams another deployment option.

Pricing

The Free plan costs nothing, billed forever. It includes 9,700 free animated icons, one icon collection, unlimited exports, and a commercial license, but attribution is required. It is a useful starting point for solo creators who can credit the icons and stay within the embedded HTML request cap.

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 plan is the lower monthly rate for committed users; monthly billing costs more but avoids an annual commitment. Neither plan removes the Standard PRO Embed HTML cap or redistribution restrictions.

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. This is the fit for larger collaborative teams that need room for many collections and outside contributors; solo users are unlikely to need its expanded seats.

Platforms

Lordicon supports Android, iOS, web, and Windows, and provides API access. Its integrations span design, document, content management, and development environments, so the library can serve both asset selection and implementation workflows.

Who it's for

Lordicon is a strong fit for designers and developers who want animated icons in multiple formats, need controls over motion and styling, or work across tools such as Figma, React, Flutter, and WordPress. The free catalog suits projects that can provide attribution. PRO makes more sense when a project needs the larger icon selection, multiple collections, and attribution-free use. Teams with many collaborators can justify Team PRO; projects that redistribute icon files or rely on high-volume Embed HTML delivery should look elsewhere or plan around the license terms.

Pros and cons

• Pros: More than 47,900 icons, including a sizable no-login free collection, make it possible to evaluate a broad catalog before subscribing.
• Pros: Multiple animation states, visual controls, and export formats support varied design and publishing workflows.
• Pros: Integrations, a free web player, API access, and self-hosting support connect the library to both design and implementation.
• Cons: Free use requires attribution and limits embedded HTML usage to 1 million CDN requests.
• Cons: Standard PRO still has a monthly Embed HTML request cap and prohibits standalone redistribution, limiting use in icon packs or products centered on icons.
• Cons: The monthly PRO rate is twice the stated annual-billing monthly rate, so ongoing use costs more without annual billing.

Alternatives

For a wider directory of options, browse Icon Libraries. Choose Font Awesome if its free plan's 2,163 icons, one Kit, and 10,000 pageviews better match a smaller web project. Ionicons is a better fit when a completely free, MIT-licensed icon set across mobile and desktop platforms is the priority. Pick Ant Design Icons for a free MIT-licensed set with npm packages for Vanilla, React, React Native, Angular, and Vue.

The Noun Project suits users who want PNG and SVG downloads through a free account and can work with attribution; its free account does not include commercial licenses. Eva Icons is a free MIT-licensed option with more than 480 icons. Hugeicons may suit users seeking 6,000+ free Stroke Rounded icons with web access and design and development plugins. IcoMoon is an option for users who want locally stored projects, accepting that generated links expire after 24 hours and free projects cannot be saved to an account. IconArchive offers a free collection of 800,000+ icons without login or a subscription.

Verdict

Choose Lordicon if animated icons, format flexibility, and integrations across design and development tools are central to your work. Its free catalog makes it accessible, and PRO adds a much larger collection without attribution. Look elsewhere if you need to redistribute standalone icon files, exceed the Embed HTML request cap, or prefer a free open-source set with a permissive license.
