The bottom line
Good breadth and formats; the free tier has limits, and Premium has a 2,000-icons-per-day FAQ cap.
Flaticon offers more than 18 million icons and stickers, with downloads in formats including PNG, SVG, EPS, PSD and CSS. The free plan includes 3 collections with up to 50 icons each, but requires attribution. Premium costs £6.50 per month billed annually (£77.99 every 12 months) or £8.99 month to month, and removes attribution and ads.
The pricing information says Premium has unlimited downloads, while its FAQ lists a limit of 2,000 icons per day. That distinction is worth checking if you download at volume. Reddit complaints include restrictions on free SVG downloads; a separate API-pricing thread concerns Freepik’s API, not Flaticon’s subscription plans.
Good fit if
- Designers needing varied icon formats

01What Flaticon actually does
Flaticon is a downloadable library of icons, stickers, and other design assets. The product information lists more than 18 million icons and stickers, with formats including PNG, SVG, EPS, PSD, CSS, and Base64. Its editor lets you change an icon’s color and size, while collections help organize assets for later use or download. Flaticon also offers animated icons and icon fonts for web, iOS, and Android projects.
The Free plan is aimed at occasional downloads and requires attribution. The pricing information checked for this review lists Premium at £8.99 month to month, or £6.50 per month when billed annually (£77.99 every 12 months). Premium removes the attribution requirement and includes additional formats. Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled.
02Where Flaticon is strong
Breadth is the main reason to consider Flaticon. A library of more than 18 million icons and stickers gives teams a large catalog to search before they commission or create assets themselves. It also covers several common handoff needs: the product information lists PNG, SVG, EPS, PSD, CSS, and Base64 formats, though the pricing page places SVG, EPS, PSD, and Base64 in the Premium plan.
The editor and collections add useful organization without changing the basic proposition: find an asset, adjust it, and download it in a suitable format. Flaticon lists collections of up to 50 icons on Free and up to 256 icons each on Premium. Animated icons and icon fonts extend the catalog beyond static image files, with fonts intended for web, iOS, and Android use.
For a team that needs varied assets and wants to avoid adding attribution to commercial work, Premium has a clear appeal. Its annual price is lower than the month-to-month rate, provided you are comfortable paying £77.99 every 12 months and managing automatic renewal.
03Where it falls short
The Free plan has meaningful limits: it requires attribution, lists PNG downloads, and allows three collections with 50 icons each. If your workflow depends on SVG, EPS, PSD, or Base64, the pricing page lists those formats under Premium. Check the format you need before building a process around free downloads.
Premium is described as offering unlimited downloads, but Flaticon’s FAQ lists a cap of 2,000 icons per day. That is a high ceiling for many users, but it is not unlimited in the literal sense. Premium collections also stop at 256 icons each, even though the number of collections is unlimited.
The annual option costs £6.50 per month, but requires £77.99 every 12 months and renews automatically unless canceled. Month to month costs £8.99. That makes Premium easier to try without an annual commitment, but more expensive over time. We’d weigh the catalog and format needs against those caps and the attribution requirement before switching.
04Flaticon pricing: what you'll actually pay
Flaticon has a free plan, but it limits you to PNG downloads, three collections, and 50 icons per collection. Attribution is required. Premium costs £8.99 month to month, or £6.50 per month when billed annually: £77.99 every 12 months. That is the jump from free to commercial use without attribution, plus access to SVG, EPS, PSD, Base64 and PNG downloads, no ads, and unlimited collections with 256 icons each.
The Premium FAQ lists a cap of 2,000 icons per day, so “unlimited” collections and downloads do not mean unlimited daily downloads. The subscription renews automatically unless canceled. Add-ons are not listed on the vendor's site. The homepage price in the product brief is €7.50 per month, but the checked pricing details quote GBP; confirm the price and currency shown at checkout before subscribing.
05Switching to (or from) Flaticon
Switching in is mainly an asset-selection task: Flaticon offers downloads in formats including PNG, SVG, EPS, PSD, CSS and Base64, though the free plan is limited to PNG. Collections can help organize icons, but the published plan details do not describe a bulk import or export tool. The practical approach is to download the files you need in formats your design or development workflow supports, then organize them there.
Before switching away, check whether you can retrieve your saved collections in a usable format; collection export and account-data portability details are not published on the vendor's site. That makes a large library worth auditing before you cancel. The brief flags unclear support details and says Flaticon may not suit teams needing a high-volume API. No Reddit posts or comments were supplied, so we can’t verify what users say prompts them to leave. For a serious migration, confirm export options and support with Flaticon first.
From the threadsWhat users say
