The Noun Project review
A broad icon library with strong editing, integration, and API options at a low entry price.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
The Noun Project is an online icon library for designers, educators, developers, and teams. Its collection includes nearly 10 million professionally curated icons across thousands of styles, with search, visual-style filtering, matching icon sets, and PNG or SVG downloads. It fits teams that need recurring access to visual assets for design files, presentations, documents, websites, and applications rather than a narrowly themed icon set.
The Free Account provides access to the collection and PNG and SVG downloads, with attribution required for free use. Noun Pro is listed at $3.33 per month on annual billing and adds unlimited downloads, royalty-free commercial licenses, color and background editing, and plugins for Figma, PowerPoint, Adobe, Office, and Mac. Noun Team is listed at $6.67 per month on annual billing and adds consolidated billing, priority support, and team member management. A separate Noun Studio Credit Pack costs $8.99 one time for icon editing and generation with royalty-free commercial licenses.
Its ecosystem is a major part of the product: integrations include Figma Design, FigJam, Figma Buzz, Figma Slides, Microsoft PowerPoint, Microsoft Word, Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe InDesign, Google Slides, Google Docs, and Sketch. The REST API supports icon search and downloads for websites and applications, while Noun Studio provides icon generation and editing. Teams should choose it when breadth, multiple formats, and workflow integrations matter. It is less suitable for users who need attribution-free commercial use without a paid plan or who do not need a large icon library.
