Noun Project

About Noun Project

Noun Project is a library of vector icons and stock photos, offering nearly 10 million free downloads in SVG and PNG formats. Icons are organized into curated sets and cover categories such as technology, people, education, and more, with search features designed to surface matched icons across different styles. Photos are focused on representing diverse people, communities, and ideas.

The product is aimed at designers, presenters, and developers who need consistent graphic assets for websites, user interfaces, slide presentations, and apps. Assets can be used directly through plugins for PowerPoint, Figma, Illustrator, and Mac, or accessed programmatically through a REST API; brands including Adobe, Canva, Mural, and Squarespace have used the icon API in their products.

All icons and photos are available for free download under royalty-free licenses, with paid licenses also offered to support the artists who create the content. Noun Project states that it takes an ethical approach to AI, asserting that artists should be compensated when their work is used to generate AI images.
