// RECOMMENDATION

For most Next.js projects in 2026, Lucide Icons is the top recommendation. It is actively maintained, fully tree-shakable, TypeScript-first, and has zero SSR issues with App Router.

If you are using Tailwind CSS, Heroicons pairs perfectly — it was built by the same team and the design language matches exactly.

For projects that need the largest possible icon set, Tabler Icons with 5,500+ icons is the best choice. Just make sure to import icons individually to keep your bundle size small.
