Bidyut Kundu

Over the past few years of building frontend projects, one thing kept bothering me — installing large icon packages just to use a handful of icons.

Most of the time, I only needed the actual SVG or component source code so I could customize it freely without adding extra dependencies or increasing bundle size.

So I started building Next Icons.

It’s a growing collection of 500+ modern SVG icons that developers can simply copy, paste, and use instantly in their projects.

The main goal was simplicity:

  • No package installation
  • No setup
  • Clean source code
  • Easy customization
  • Developer-friendly experience

I’m actively improving the project every day by adding more icons, categories, and better search/navigation.

Would genuinely love feedback from the developer community
