License guide

Every icon on IconDrop Assets is free to use in commercial and personal projects under the Creative Commons Zero (CC0 1.0 Universal) dedication, via the Simple Icons project.

What the license allows

You may use any IconDrop Assets icon in commercial products, paid client work, internal tools, marketing pages, slide decks, app stores, side projects, and open-source software. You may modify the icons — recolor them, scale them, combine them with other artwork, even cut them apart and reassemble them. There is no per-seat fee, no per-download cap, no annual subscription, and no obligation to register an account. The license is permanent and worldwide.

Attribution is optional

CC0 1.0 Universal is a public-domain dedication: it requires no attribution at all. You can ship IconDrop Assets icons in commercial and personal work without crediting anyone. Many teams still add a courtesy credit — a single line in the credits, about page, or footer such as: 'Icons via the Simple Icons project (CC0 1.0), distributed by IconDrop Assets.' That is appreciated, but entirely your call.

No copyleft strings attached

CC0 carries no ShareAlike or copyleft clause. If you take an IconDrop Assets icon, modify it, and redistribute the modified version as artwork — for example by including the modified icon in your own icon pack — you may do so under any terms you like. Embedding an IconDrop Assets icon in a closed-source SaaS product does not require you to open-source anything, and neither does redistributing a recolored variant.

What is not allowed

CC0 covers the icon artwork as distributed here — it does not transfer trademark rights. The brand names and logos are trademarks of their respective owners, so you may not use an icon in a way that suggests the brand, the Simple Icons project, or IconDrop Assets endorses your product. For app-store listings, official press materials, or advertising where endorsement could be implied, check the brand's own usage guidelines first. You also may not claim the icons are your original creation.

Optional credit lines

None of these are required under CC0, but if you would like to credit the source: for a product about page, 'Icons via Simple Icons (CC0 1.0).' For an app store listing, 'Icons: Simple Icons (CC0 1.0).' For a documentation site footer, '© Your Company. Icons by the Simple Icons project, CC0 1.0.' If you have a specific situation these examples don't quite cover, send us a note via the contact page and we will help you draft the right wording.
