Can I use icons once my subscription expires? Yes, you can. When you pause your subscription, or when it expires, you will not be able to download PRO icons or use PRO library features. However, you will be able to use any PRO resources that have been downloaded or HTML embedded when you had a PRO access. In a nutshell, after the subscription expires, you can use already downloaded or HTML-embedded PRO icons.
PRO Extended License: Can I include Lordicons in themes, Visual Builders, or Plugins for sale?
Adding animated icons to your product can dramatically improve your users’ satisfaction.
Currently, you can only use free icons in your product. We are developing an API that will be available in Q1, 2023, allowing you to add free or PRO icons to your product.
Here is the breakdown of what you can and can not do when implementing Lordicons into your product:
- include all of the free icons in your paid or free product;
- allow your users to use Lordicons in a dashboard tool that lets them add and customize animated icons;
- allow your users to change colors, stroke sizes, or padding via HTML code, or your own triggers based on Lordicon Custom Element;
- use icons in a product or plugin in which icons act as a secondary element. (eg. website builder, graphic editor, and presentation tool)
- include PRO icons as standalone files in your product;
- include free icons without crediting Lordicon;
- use icons in any product or plugin in which the icons form the core of that product (e.g. an open-source or commercial plugin, library, or icon pack, whose main role is to provide animated or static icons.
You need to credit (attribute) Lordicon when you implement free icons into your product. However, your users will not need to credit Lordicon in the projects made by your tool.
Include PRO icons in your product
You can allow your users to use PRO animated icons. You will need to build an iFrame that utilizes embedded HTML with an animated icon inside your product.
Here is the suggested process for adding an animated icon:
- Go to lordicon.com/icons
- Select an icon
- Click "Download"
- Click "Embed HTML"
- Copy the code & paste it inside your product.
You can even build an editing panel inside your product, so the only thing you need to utilize PRO icons is this shortcode:

Can I use an icon for my logo?
Yes, you are allowed to use our icons for a business logo, but you cannot trademark your logo if it uses one of our icons.
Our License Agreement prohibits patenting or registering trademarks, logos, and visual materials of all types, including our materials, either in full or in part.
As a free user, you will have to credit us everywhere you use a logo containing Lordicon materials. If you wish not to do so, you can simply switch to our paid plans. Paid subscriptions free you from the obligation to link Lordicon, grant you access to editable versions of icons, and the right to use the logo after your subscription has expired.
Can I use your icons for printing (books, greeting cards, T-shirts, etc.)?
Yes, you can! You are allowed to use our icons for printing. Credit our website if you use Lordicon icons for free. You can do it by linking Lordicon on your blog, social media, or related websites. You are not required to give Lordicon any credit if you purchased a paid subscription.
Can I use free Lordicon icons in open-source projects?
Yes, you can use free Lordicon animated icons in your open-source project.
You need to credit (attribute) Lordicon when you implement free icons into your product. However, your users will not need to credit Lordicon in the projects made by your tool.
Do I need a PRO plan for every personal or commercial project I want to use Lordicon PRO in?
If you are an agency or freelancer commissioning work directly to clients, and they aren’t modifying the icons, then you are good to go with a single PRO license.
However, if your clients edit icons on the website or design software, they would be considered creators and require a separate PRO license.
My license expired. Can I use already downloaded PRO icons for different projects?
Yes, you can. When you subscribe to PRO, you unlock all PRO icons. Once you download an icon, you can use it forever in an unlimited number of personal or commercial projects.
There is only one exception to this rule. If your clients edit icons on the website or design software, they would be considered creators and require a separate PRO license.
Do you offer any special pricing for students?
Yes, we do offer special pricing for students.

How to cancel a subscription?
Plan cancellation is simple and painless. If you need only a few icons, you can subscribe for one month, download what you need and then unsubscribe. You do not need to keep the subscription while not using our service.

Refund Policy
A regular return policy does not apply to Lordicon PRO, since it is a digital product, and you cannot easily return software and other assets, once you downloaded them. We suggest that you try free products to see if they are what you need.
Nevertheless, we understand that life may be unexpected, so if you decided to purchase a Pro plan but encounter problems, get in touch with us to discuss the matter. We can always find an acceptable solution together.
Library
Do you provide icons in animated SVG format?
We do not provide animated icons in SVG animation format. A decent alternative is a JSON file based on vector animation.
Can I download icons for free?
Yes, you can. You can access the Lordicon library with many free icons without signing in. After signing in to our platform, you can create one (1) icon collection and add icons to favorites.
An icon collection is a powerful tool that allows you to edit a stack of icons all at once - no need to edit properties for individual icons one by one!
Can I download all icons at once?
We no longer provide such a feature. This icon library was created in a way to download icons individually or group them into collections and download only the number of icons you need at the moment.
What formats do you provide?
Both free and PRO icons are available in several formats.
Animated Edited:
- Embed HTML
- JSON Lottie (Lordicon)
- GIF
- MP4
- APNG
- WEBP
Static Edited:
- SVG
Animated Source files
- Lottie JSON (Rough)
- Adobe After Effects
Static Source Files
- EPS (some icon styles)
Downloads of either format are available for both Free and PRO subscription plans.

What's the best way to use your icons on the website?
It is super easy to use animated icons on web and mobile projects. We have made a lot of easy-to-follow instructions on how to do this.

Troubleshooting
How to decrease page loading time without loosing animated icon quality?
You need to load icons only when needed. Please follow the lazy loading guide. Note this feature is available only for custom HTML implementation method.
Icons are not showing up correctly - default colors & watermark
Our icons fail to display correctly only when you add icons in a Lottie JSON (Lordicon) format to your Native application (iOS, Android). You need to use the Lottie JSON (rough) from the source file section to fix it.
Native apps don't support expressions responsible for changing colors, animation states, or displaying the watermark. To edit the colors of the animation, please upload it to Lottie Editor, and change the colors directly there.
Icons in Adobe XD are not showing up correctly - default colors & watermark
Adobe XD supports Lottie files, but it doesn't support expressions on which our main format Lottie JSON (Lordicon) stands on. This is why color adjustments or animation states are not supported by Adobe XD. To include our animated icons in Adobe XD, please proceed with Lottie JSON (Rough) version.
