Do I Need to Credit System UIcons or Pay to Use the Icons?

Updated

No. System UIcons is described as a free icon set, and the site states you can "use how you want, without attribution." That means you are not required to credit System UIcons when you use the icons, and there is no pricing mentioned on the site. The set is designed for systems and products, so it is intended to be usable in both personal and product contexts.

What the site says

The site's own description is short and direct:

  • Free icon set — described as "A free icon set designed for systems and products."
  • No attribution — "Use how you want, without attribution."
  • Purpose — icons are "specifically designed for systems and products."

There are no pricing links, payment platforms, or price-related keywords on the page. Nothing on the page suggests a paid tier, a license fee, or a required credit line.

What this means in practice

Question Answer based on the site
Do I have to credit System UIcons? No — the site says no attribution is required.
Do I have to pay? No pricing is mentioned; it is described as free.
Can I use them in a product? The set is designed for systems and products, so product use is the stated intent.
Can I use them for personal projects? The site says "use how you want," which covers personal use.

How to get the icons

The page provides several ways to take an icon:

  • Copy SVG Element — copy the SVG markup directly.
  • Copy CDN Link — copy a hosted link to the icon.
  • Download SVG Icon — download an individual icon file.
  • Download All Icons — download the full set.

If you use the CDN link, the icon is served from an external host, so your page depends on that host being reachable. If you copy the SVG element or download the file, the icon lives in your own project and has no external dependency. For production systems, embedding or self-hosting is usually the more predictable choice.

Points worth checking yourself

The page states no attribution is required, but it does not spell out a formal license name on the material provided here. If your project has strict legal or compliance requirements, confirm the exact license terms on the site or its repository before shipping. Also note that "no pricing mentioned" is not the same as a written guarantee of permanence — if the terms matter to you, keep a record of the license statement at the time you download.

For most everyday uses — a dashboard, an internal tool, a side project, a product UI — the practical answer is simple: use them, no credit line needed, no payment needed.
