57 of the most-used icons, and four more currencies

Chosen by what projects use

We sampled public code on GitHub, about 4,700 projects that import Lucide and 2,000 that import Heroicons, and counted how many projects use each icon. Then we drew the most-used ones we did not have. The spinner alone appeared in 778 of them.

Status and feedback

loader is a three-quarter ring for loading states. Spin it with CSS:

<LoaderIcon className="animate-spin" />

alert-circle, shield-alert, badge-check, ban, check-square, search-x for an empty search, and play-circle and pause-circle.

Layout and data

layout-dashboard, panel-left for a sidebar, table, line-chart, gauge, list-checks and route. For controls: chevrons-up-down for a select, more-vertical for a menu, grip-vertical for a drag handle and mouse-pointer.

Arrows and shapes

arrow-up-right, arrow-down-right, arrow-left-right, rotate-ccw, circle and square.

Files, people and messages

file-check, file-code, folder-open, clipboard-check, archive and book-open. user-check, user-circle, message-circle, megaphone and radio.

Four more currencies

currency-usd, currency-gbp, currency-inr and currency-jpy join the dirham, the riyal and the euro. Search for "dollar", "pound", "rupee" or "yen".

Currency icons are our interpretation, drawn to match the rest of the set. They are not the official symbols. Where you show a price or an amount, follow the issuing authority's guidelines for the symbol.

Objects

trophy, award, graduation-cap, palette, lightbulb, rocket, wrench, flame, leaf, droplet, scale, film, timer, coffee, dumbbell and flask.

Search knows other libraries' names

Search on the site and in the MCP server now finds an icon by the name other sets give it. "shield-check" finds shield, "trash-2" finds trash, "magnifying-glass" finds search and "x-mark" finds close. An AI coding tool that asks for a Lucide or Heroicons name gets the matching icon.

Right-to-left

Four of the new icons are mirrored when you set rtl: message-circle, megaphone, list-checks and panel-left. That brings the mirrored list to 23.
