Frequently Asked Questions

Are the icons free to use?

Many icons are in the public domain or have open licenses, but the API provides license information for each icon so you can verify usage rights.

What format are the icons in?

The icons are typically returned as PNG images, often with transparent backgrounds, suitable for web and app design.

Can I search by color?

The search is primarily keyword-based, but the results often include icons in various styles (flat, outline, color) which you can visually select.

How is the Search Icons API different from the Search Images API?

The Search Icons API is designed to find vector-based or small raster icons for UI design, whereas the Search Images API finds high-quality stock photos.
