Trending User Interface Icon Packs 2025

A modern interface lives or dies by how quickly a user recognises each action. The right icon tells someone “tap here to download,” “scroll right with this arrow,” or “oops, we hit a 404 error” – without a single word of copy.

A crisp icon can do more for a user interface than a paragraph of text. The right pictogram says download, profile, or error in a single glance—guiding users through sign‑up flows, dashboards, and checkout screens without friction.

Below you’ll find some of the most used UI icon in the IconScout library to build modern web, apps and other products experiences. Available in SVG, PNG, GIF, EPS, ICO, ICNS, AI or PDF so you can drop them straight into Figma, Storybook, or code and more.

Top trending user interface icons

What should you consider when picking a user interface icon

1. Clarity and recognizability

• The icon should instantly communicate its function (e.g., 🗑 for delete, ⬇️ for download).
• Avoid abstract or overly detailed icons for core actions.

Tip: If users need a tooltip to understand the icon, it might not be the right choice.

2. Consistency across the interface

• Use a unified icon style (stroke width, corner radius, color fill, etc.).
• Mixing outline and filled icons can make the UI feel messy.

Tip: Stick to one family or pack per product to maintain visual harmony.

3. Style alignment with the brand

• Choose icons that match your brand’s tone (playful, minimal, bold, professional).
• A fintech app might use simple mono-line icons; a kids’ app could use colorful, rounded ones.

4. Pixel precision and scalability

• Icons should render clearly at small sizes (16px, 24px, 32px).
• Vector formats like SVG ensure icons remain crisp on all screen sizes.

Tip: Avoid bitmap icons unless for decorative use only.

5. Theme flexibility (light/dark mode)

• Icons should adapt seamlessly to both light and dark themes.
• Choose icons that inherit currentColor for easy theming via CSS or design tokens

6. State representation

• Include icons for system states like:
  • Loading spinners
  • Error and success feedback
  • Disabled or inactive actions
  • 404 or empty states

Tip: These often get overlooked but are critical for UX clarity.

8. Directional accuracy

• Use arrows and cues that match user expectations (e.g., right for “next,” left for “back”).
• Be mindful of language direction (LTR vs RTL).

9. Customizability and flexibility

• Make sure icons can be color-swapped, resized, and reused across contexts (e.g., buttons, navbars, cards).
• Bonus: animated versions (like Lottie) can be used for dynamic feedback.
