About this tool
Search popular icon libraries, compare them on light and dark surfaces, then export production-ready SVG or PNG files without leaving the browser.
Icon Explorer is useful when teams need to search, compare, and export icons without bouncing between multiple library sites. It helps designers and developers inspect shapes quickly and move from search to usable SVG or PNG output in one browser workflow.
- Search icon names, aliases, and available categories across Lucide and Material Symbols.
- Preview icon color, export size, background, and stroke width before downloading.
- Copy SVG code, grab a React-friendly snippet, or batch export selected icons as a ZIP.
How to use Icon Explorer
Search for the concept you need, compare the matching icons, and export the SVG or PNG once the style and size feel right for the interface. If you are choosing between libraries, compare a few related icons together so the final set feels visually consistent across the product.
