About IconZoo

Hey there! I'm Mohit Gangrade, the guy behind IconZoo. 👋

What's IconZoo?

IconZoo is your ultimate playground for icons – think of it as a safari through the wild world of web design elements! We've corralled a whopping 250,000+ free, open-source SVG icons into one easy-to-use platform. It's like having a designer's treasure chest right at your fingertips.

But IconZoo isn't just about quantity (though we've got that in spades). It's about making your life as a developer, designer, or creative enthusiast easier and more fun. Here's what we're all about:

1. A Menagerie of Icons: From simple arrows to complex illustrations, we've got icons for every occasion. Need a hamburger menu icon? We've got dozens. Looking for the perfect social media icon? Take your pick from hundreds. Whatever your project needs, our icon zoo probably has an exhibit for it.
2. Search that Actually Works: Our search functionality is super fast. It helps you navigate through our vast collection with ease. Type in what you need, and watch as the perfect icons appear before your eyes. It's almost magical (but really, it's just good coding).
3. Format Flexibility: We know different projects have different needs. That's why we offer our icons in both PNG and SVG formats. Need a quick bitmap for your mockup? Go for PNG. Want something scalable for your responsive design? SVG's got your back. You're in control.
4. License Clarity: Here's where we get serious (but just for a moment). Every icon comes with clear license information. We believe in giving credit where it's due and keeping everything above board. No more sweating over whether you can use that perfect icon in your commercial project – we spell it out for you.
5. Regular Updates: The IconZoo is always growing! We're constantly adding new icons to our collection, ensuring you always have access to fresh, trendy designs alongside the timeless classics.
6. Community-Driven: While I started IconZoo, it's really powered by the amazing open-source community. We showcase the work of talented designers from around the world, all in one convenient spot.

In essence, IconZoo is more than just an icon repository – it's a tool designed to streamline your workflow, spark your creativity, and maybe even make the often tedious task of finding the right icon a bit more enjoyable. Whether you're a seasoned pro or just starting out, IconZoo is here to make your projects look amazing, one icon at a time.

Why I Started This Site

As a freelance fullstack developer, I've been in your shoes. I know the struggle of hunting for the perfect icon, only to find it's either not the right format or comes with a confusing license. It's like trying to find a needle in a haystack... if the haystack was made of pixels.

That's when I had my "aha!" moment. Why not create a site that makes finding and using icons as easy as pie? And voilà, IconZoo was born!

What Makes IconZoo Special?

1. Massive Collection: With over 250,000 icons, we've got icons for days. Whatever you're looking for, chances are we've got it.
2. Easy Search: Our search function is so smart, it practically reads your mind. (Okay, not really, but it's pretty darn good!)
3. Format Flexibility: Download in PNG for your raster needs or SVG for that crisp, scalable goodness.
4. License Clarity: We list the license for every single icon. No more guessing games or accidental copyright infringements. We've got your back!

How to Use IconZoo

1. Search for the icon you need
2. Choose your preferred format (PNG or SVG)
3. Check the license
4. Download and use in your awesome projects
5. Rinse and repeat!

A Personal Note

Creating IconZoo has been a wild ride, and I'm stoked to share it with you all. As a developer myself, I built this site with you in mind. Every feature, every function is designed to make your life easier and your projects more awesome.

So go ahead, dive in, and find that perfect icon. And if you've got any ideas on how we can make IconZoo even better, give me a shout. After all, this zoo is for you!

Happy icon hunting!

P.S. This site is still a work in progress. Although I don't think it will ever techincally be "finished" because I plan on adding new features every week, if you find any bugs or have any feedback, please reach out to me via our contact page.
