It features a wide range (over 5000!) of elegant and consistent icons that are created by a community from all around the world. Arcticons is FOSS (Free and Open-Source Software) and provides many icons for other FOSS apps.
Though this icon pack is primarily focused on mobile apps, it is also possible to generate a freedesktop-compliant icon theme for use with compatible desktop environments such as KDE Plasma and GNOME.
You can generate the theme, like so:
cd freedesktop-theme
./generate.shThe theme can also be customized and extended. Read generate.sh for details.
Providing a free icon-pack for everyone can cost a lot of time and effort. So if you like our work, consider donating!

Making icons is fun and you don't even have to know how to code. Just install a vector graphic program like Inkscape, Illustrator, Affinity Designer, PenPot or Vector Asset Creator. Read the full details here:

You can request icons with our in-app tool:
- Open Arcticons
- Press the symbol in the upper-left corner and select
Icon Request - Choose the missing apps you wish to submit, it's also possible to select/deselect all missing apps
- Press the plane symbol and choose the app in the pop-up menu to send the icon request
- Now you can check the information that will be sent via email, and if everything looks fine, simply send the email and it's done!
In case you accidentally close the app during the process, and want to clean the cache, there is an option named Clear Icon Request Data in Settings to do that.
If it's taking too long for you, you can also buy priority requests via Ko-Fi, with this your icon will be the first one in the queue.
