I Built a Free SVG to Icon Font Converter (Because IcoMoon Charges $29)

I was designing a website and needed a custom icon set. IcoMoon promised the perfect solution — convert SVG icons into a lightweight icon font. But then I saw the price: $29 one-time, or $9/month for their subscription.

$29. For a tool that basically takes SVGs and bundles them into a font file.

And the worst part? Every SVG you upload goes to their servers. Your designs, your work — stored on someone else's machine. For a design tool, that's insane.

So I built something better.

SVG to Icon Font Converter runs 100% in your browser.

What you get:

  • Drag & drop SVG icons directly into the browser
  • Live preview grid showing all your icons
  • Adjust font size, gap, and baseline settings
  • Download a .zip with TTF font + preview HTML + CSS class map
  • Auto-generated CSS class names from your file names
  • No account, no upload, no watermark
  • Works offline after first load

The tool uses opentype.js and JSZip — everything happens client-side. Your SVGs never leave your computer.

vs IcoMoon: $29 for basic functionality. This is free.

Built for designers, developers, and anyone who wants custom icon fonts without the subscription trap.
