What Material Symbols is

Material Symbols is a free icon collection with more than 2,500 icons consolidated into a font. It offers Outlined, Rounded and Sharp variable fonts, with controls for fill, weight, grade and optical size. Web pages can use Google’s CSS web-font API snippet, or the font can be self-hosted so users choose when to update it. Individual icons are available as SVG or PNG; Android Vector Drawable and Apple Symbols formats are also provided. The icons use the Apache License Version 2.0, which permits incorporation, remixing and redistribution, including for commercial use. One web-font caveat is that default settings load more than 3,800 icons in a 295 KB payload; specifying icon names can reduce it. Only the 20 px and 24 px versions are designed for exact pixel-grid alignment. The set has no two-tone icons or third-party logos, and offers only pre-made variable fonts. Google directs icon requests to GitHub issues and does not accept pull requests for icon files. Flutter support is planned.
