Can I Request Specific Icons from SVG Stack?

Updated

Yes. SVG Stack provides a request form for users who can't find the icon they need. According to the site, requests are reviewed every day, so it's worth submitting one if you're looking for a specific icon that isn't in the library yet.

How the Request Process Works

The site states: "We review your requests every day. Just let us know your requests by filling out a short form, rest assured that we read and review these requests every day."

That tells you three things:

  • There is a dedicated request form (not just a general contact email).
  • Submissions are read and reviewed on a daily basis.
  • The form is described as short, so you don't need to write a lengthy brief.

What to Include in Your Request

Since the form is short, make every field count. A useful request typically covers:

Detail Why it helps
Icon subject Tells the team exactly what to draw (e.g., "a coffee shop storefront")
Style Matches existing sets — Outline, Filled, Multicolor, Hand Drawn, or 3D
Intended use Website, app UI, presentation, or design system
Format needed SVG, PNG, or both

SVG Stack organizes icons by style, with categories including Outline (1,500+), Filled (5,000+), Multicolor (1,000+), Hand Drawn (150+), and 3D (60+). Naming the style you want keeps your request consistent with the rest of your project.

When Requesting Makes Sense

Submitting a request is most useful when:

  • You've searched the library and confirmed the icon doesn't exist.
  • You need a specific variation of an existing icon (different style, angle, or detail).
  • You're building a set and want matching icons for a niche topic.

If a close match already exists, downloading and adjusting it yourself in Figma, Illustrator, Sketch, or Adobe XD is usually faster than waiting on a new request.

Practical Tips Before You Submit

  1. Search first. Try the search bar and browse by style or collection so you don't request something already available.
  2. Check the collections. Curated sets like the Interface Icon Pack (500+), Food Icon Packs (500+), or Brand Logos Set (250+) may already cover your topic.
  3. Be specific but brief. "Outline icon of a hospital building, for a healthcare app" is more actionable than "need medical icons."
  4. Note your format. The site offers both SVG and PNG downloads, so mention if you need one specifically.

What to Expect

The site commits to daily review but doesn't publish a turnaround time for individual requests, and there's no stated guarantee that a requested icon will be created. Treat the form as a way to surface demand — the more clearly you describe the icon, the easier it is for the team to act on it.

If your need is urgent, the safer path is to pick the closest existing icon and customize it, using the request form in parallel for future additions.
