Introduction
Tabler Icons is a free and open-source icon library offering over 6000 pixel-perfect SVG icons. Each icon is designed on a 24x24 grid with consistent stroke widths, making them visually coherent across any application. The library provides official packages for React, Vue, Svelte, Angular, Preact, and plain SVG.
What Tabler Icons Does
- Provides 6000+ icons covering common UI, social, device, and brand categories
- Ships framework-specific packages with tree-shakable imports
- Supports customizable size, stroke width, and color via props or CSS
- Offers a web-based icon search and preview at tabler.io/icons

Architecture Overview
Each icon is authored as a standalone SVG file with consistent 24x24 viewBox and configurable stroke attributes. A build pipeline generates framework-specific wrapper components for React, Vue, Svelte, and others. The React package exports each icon as a named component that accepts size, color, and stroke props. SVG sprites and web font versions are also available for legacy integration.
Self-Hosting & Configuration
- Install the framework-specific package via npm (e.g.,
@tabler/icons-react) - Import only the icons you need for automatic tree shaking
- Customize stroke width globally by wrapping icons in a provider or setting defaults
- Use the CDN-hosted SVG sprite for non-bundled projects
- Download individual SVGs from the Tabler Icons website for design tools
