Solar Icons: 1,200+ Free SVG Icons in Six Distinct Styles

Solar Icons is a large-scale icon set by 480 Design, featuring over 1,200 SVG icons across 37 categories, licensed under CC BY 4.0 for free commercial use. The set offers six style variations — Bold, Bold Duotone, Broken, Line Duotone, Linear, and Outline — ranging from solid fills to duotone and broken-line treatments, making it easy to adjust visual weight across different information hierarchies within a single project.

Compared to Phosphor Icons or Lucide, which primarily offer a single linear style with weight variations, Solar Icons emphasizes style diversity — each icon comes in six distinctly different visual expressions, ideal for design systems that need to differentiate between primary and secondary elements.

Background

Solar Icons comes from the design team 480 Design, with the project named after the concept of "an icon pack as big as the Solar System." The icons are drawn in Figma using a dedicated grid system, with all corners set to 100% corner smoothing for a consistently soft, geometric look. The project has accumulated over 350 stars on GitHub.

Key Features

• Six styles available — Bold, Bold Duotone, Broken, Line Duotone, Linear, and Outline — allowing seamless switching across styles for the same icon
• Covers 37 categories including navigation, e-commerce, communication, and multimedia
• 100% corner smoothing applied throughout, maintaining a cohesive soft geometric aesthetic
• Available as Figma source files or downloadable SVG files from GitHub
