Why We Built This

Choosing an icon library should be a five-minute decision. In practice it often takes hours — reading GitHub READMEs, cross-checking npm download stats, opening a dozen tabs to compare visual styles, and hoping someone on Stack Overflow answered the same bundle-size question in 2023. We built IconSearch to eliminate that process entirely.

One site. All the data. Honest comparisons. No affiliation with any library project.
