React Native Vector Icons: Customizable icon library
Vector icon fonts rendered as native React Native components.
Learn more about React Native Vector Icons
React Native Vector Icons is a cross-platform icon library that renders vector-based icon fonts as native React Native components. The library bundles popular icon font collections and converts their glyphs into scalable native views that can be styled through standard React Native props for size, color, and other visual properties. It provides a component-based interface where icon names are mapped to their corresponding glyphs in the underlying font files, with the rendering engine translating these into platform-specific vector graphics on both iOS and Android. The implementation supports dynamic styling and theming by accepting standard style props, enabling icons to inherit colors and dimensions without requiring pre-generated image assets at multiple resolutions.
Multiple Icon Sets
Bundles 8 actively maintained icon families plus legacy sets, totaling over 15,000 icons across different design systems. Supports FontAwesome, Material Design, Ionicons, and others through a unified API without switching libraries.
Granular Package Installation
Each icon set ships as a separate npm package, allowing developers to install only required fonts. Reduces bundle size by excluding unused icon families from the final application build.
PNG Export Capability
Renders icons as static PNG image sources in addition to vector components. Enables compatibility with contexts where vector rendering fails or performance requires rasterized assets.
