Material Design icons by Google (Material Symbols)
Google's official Material Design icon set, hundreds of free, professionally designed symbols for web, Android, and iOS apps, available as a web font or downloadable SVG files.
Material Design Icons is the official icon set released by Google. Icons are small visual symbols used in interfaces — things like a trash can for delete, a magnifying glass for search, or a home symbol for the main page. This collection follows Google's Material Design guidelines, which define a visual style used across Android apps, web products, and iOS applications.
The repository contains icon assets in multiple formats. For web projects, the README shows that you can include the icons by linking to a hosted stylesheet — one line of HTML is all it takes to load the full icon font into a web page. Alternatively, the repository includes pre-generated font files you can download and bundle directly into a project if you prefer not to rely on an external link.
The icons are released under the Apache License 2.0, which means they are free to use in personal and commercial products, with attribution appreciated but not required. Google invites developers to incorporate the icons into their own apps and even remix them. You can browse the full icon catalog at the Google Fonts website. This makes the project useful for any developer or designer building interfaces for web, Android, or iOS who wants a consistent, professionally designed set of symbols without creating them from scratch.
