Where do you get your icons?

I always find it a struggle to have nice icons for my websites. Do you have a go-to website in which you get free, no attribution icons?

Google's Material Icons are all here which seems to be a well-kept secret!

I was recently looking for icons for technologies and company logos and came across these two sites:

For other icons I've used the already mentioned Bootstrap, Fontawesome and Ionicons icons.

I'm all-in with Feather Icons nowadays. I used to go with Material Icons for its extensiveness, and just recently discovered HeroIcon, but Feather is the best catalog+look/package size ratio.

Note that SVGs are better than font icons, because they scale (up or down) better, plus they can implement variants (filled vs stroked). And also: careful about package size: React-icons will add a huge dependency to your project and therefore slow down your CI processes.

Here's quick way to include Font Awesome, Bootstrap Icons, Heroicons, Ionicons, and more in a React project: react-icons.github.io/react-icons/. So easy and flexible!

I have started using Material Icons recently.
material.io/resources/icons/?style...
I found it quite easy to use and has minimal overhead.

You can easily type the name of icon and the search result will show all icons available from other websites
