Eva Icons

Quick summary of Eva Icons

Eva Icons (akveo.github.io/eva-icons/) by Akveo is a free open-source icon library — 480+ pack of beautifully crafted icons with two variants (fill + outline), MIT-licensed, with packages for React + React Native + Angular + Web Components + SVG + PNG exports + Figma library + animated icon variations as a notable differentiator. Part of the broader Eva Design System ecosystem by Akveo (a development company known for the Nebular UI kit). Consistent visual design with 24x24 grid + 2px stroke for outlines + geometric shapes. Distinguished from Lucide (the dominant open-source icon default in 2026 with 1000+ icons + default in shadcn/ui + largest community) by smaller curated library + animated variations + React Native support, distinguished from Heroicons (Tailwind team's similar two-variant approach with simpler set) by larger library + animations + broader framework packages, distinguished from Phosphor (multiple icon weights including outline, filled, duotone, thin, light, regular, bold + huge library + free + paid Pro) by simpler two-variant decision space + included animations, distinguished from Tabler Icons (largest free icon library at 4000+ icons) by smaller curated set + animated variations, distinguished from Iconoir + Material Icons + Carbon Icons + various smaller libraries by Eva-specific aesthetic + Akveo ecosystem integration. Free MIT-licensed for personal + commercial use; Akveo monetizes through consulting + paid Nebular UI kit licenses, not Eva Icons specifically. Best for developers needing icons for React + React Native projects with both fill + outline variants (Eva's packages support web + mobile), projects needing pre-made animated icons for loading states + transitions + hover effects (animated variations as Eva's notable differentiator), designers wanting a simple two-variant icon system similar to Heroicons but with different aesthetic + animation capabilities, and projects on tight budgets needing free MIT-licensed icons for commercial + client work. Skip for the dominant safest default with biggest community (use Lucide especially in shadcn/ui projects), for maximum icon weight variety (use Phosphor's outline/filled/duotone/thin/light/regular/bold options), for the largest possible icon library (use Tabler's 4000+ free icons), for Tailwind-specific projects (use Heroicons which pairs naturally with Tailwind), or if you don't need animations + the differentiation isn't meaningful for your project (use whichever library matches your aesthetic preference better). One good option in the crowded 2026 icon library market — pick on aesthetic fit + whether the animation differentiation matters alongside Lucide + Phosphor + Heroicons + Tabler as the major free open-source options.
